Official

We travelled to San Antonio this morning for our court hearing for our re-adoption. Our home study agency was Lutheran Social Services of the South and they recommended a wonderful attorney to complete our adoption for us, Victor Negron. He handled everything, down to the very last detail. We went before a really neat judge (thank you Jesus!) Judge Barbara Nellermoe. As we were walking into the courtroom, I was reminded that Adoptions are probably the only positive thing that a family court or district court judge gets to do. Most of what they see is negative and Judge Nellermoe was very happy to get to preside over our case.

So...the boys are officially Joshua Emanuel Flippen and Josiah Abenezer Flippen as of today. Thank you for praying for our journey and for our court date. I, for one, am so glad to have this part of the journey over and done with!

On another note, driving with toddlers is NOT my idea of a good time! Joshua and Josiah don't sleep in the car and don't watch the DVD players - although they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to listen to music and get a kick out of dancing to Rhianna or Chris Brown. In fact, we joke that Joshua is going to be the next Chris Brown. He likes to move his WHOLE body (I'm not kidding-feet, head and everything in between)when the song Forever comes on. It's quite entertaining!!

Even though the twins, don't like to ride in the car, ALL my kids are precious and an absolute joy in our lives. Later!!
