Not just 1, but 2 added to the bunch of us.

So many things have gone on in the past few months and I apologize for not keeping you all updated. So here I go playing catch up again. Let’s start in the month of October.

The beginning of the month of October started out pretty steady and nothing too exciting or out of the ordinary. Then about the 13th of October we find out that there is a possibility of my older sister Melisa and her husband Kevin to adopt a little girl. With that being said excitement was all around the family. The little girl was dropped off for a trial basis of a week at my sister’s house on Sunday and so the adventures begin. The intentions were to see how the family adjusted. (Meaning both families the new family as well as the birth parents.) The birth parents needed to find out if they were really up for this. So with that being said Melisa and Kevin opened there home to Gracee for a week trial basis. Things went well although some adjustments had to be made now having 2 little ones wanting attention this was going to be an adventure. After a week that turned into 2 weeks the birth parents decided yes they would like for Melisa and Kevin to adopt little Gracee, they also asked if they would be interested in adopting her little brother Wyatt as well. Melisa and Kevin said yes of course! They got the things together and contacted a lawyer to get the paperwork drawn up. They had a court date of the following Monday and were anxiously waiting this date. With a few hic-ups they were able to get the paperwork completed and now we have not just 1 new addition to our family we have 2. We are all so excited for Melisa and Kevin and know that things worked out the way they are supposed to. Here are a few pictures of the family.
