Paperwork is FINISHED FOREVER... FINALLY!

April 28th is our Adoption Day. The day the Russian courts said we were Ana's parents! Even though our "paper pregnancy" was over...we still had 3 years of reports to do for Russia. WELL...we mailed our LAST report in April! To celebrate, Marc took the day off and we took family pictures (one of my favorites is the one I put on the blog). Then we drove to Austin to complete the final paperwork before we mailed it. The building we have to go to is right across from the state capital. So we did our "business" and then celebrated by having a VERY relaxing day at the capital grounds.
We had a picnic! Marc likes to have KFC on picnics and Ana LOVES their coleslaw and macaroni and cheese so we had a yummy lunch with HER picnic set. She shared most her meal with the animals who were brave enough to say hi.

We read books, chased birds, fed squirrels, sang songs and believe it or not Ana laid down and relaxed! I love this picture. VERY sweet!

She was SO sweet cuddling. We were there doing nothing but enjoying each other for over 3 hours. The Austin state capital is just so peaceful and beautiful. It was an awesome way to truly appreciate all that God has given us!

From the moment we met Ana, we KNEW it would be a Grand Adventure...and it has been!!
