Re-adoption is Offical (February 23, 2011)

Today we drove out the Port Townsend to finalize the adoption of Misrak and Micah. It was snowing all around us but we were blessed to get around it just in time. Of course I encountered problems and the case was almost not heard because the adoption agency didn't submit their post placement report on time. Go figure. Haha all hell broke lose and I was stomping on some feet and finally got the report faxed because I was not having it. If they hadn't faxed it we had to go all the way back there another time. Its a nice 2 hour drive. The kids were amazing. We only took the 2 of them because we wanted them to have a special day with us and not be disturbed by nutty little other kids. I knew if I take them alone we would have peace and we did. Glad it is finally done done...

Their new names and birth dates are:

Misrak Yemegnushal Hill (born 6/6/03)

Micah Getinet Hill (born 11/25/06)

Arriving at the courthouse. My dear friend Karly came too with her family and re-adopted her son Diego. Oh Micah... always mad about something..

Adoption friends visit

A few days ago Lisa visited with the kiddos. Amira, Biruk and Eden were at Kidane together. We haven't seen them in 1.5 years. A visit was long overdue but they are from Eastern WA so its hard to catch up. If you wanna see how iddy biddy they were click here. I have also posted a few other pics after this post were the kids are doing their Valentine cards. Sorry Susan, I wished I could have been as creative as you:(

The Love of a Daughter

Danica is a very special kiddo. I always invisioned us being close but not this close. Even though she is in college and about to graduate, our relationship has gotten deeper. She does so many small things for me that are huge for me. She has that husband part women want (like we want them to read us but they don't) cuz I surely don't get that from Kevin. He is the typical provider. I think my cell phone is for her because she is about the only one I use it for. Anyways, when she went to Germany in December she intended to surprise me big time. She kept teasing my while over there telling me she found something I always talk about but I had no clue. To most of you this gift seems so weird but to me its a priceless possession. I have this clothes stand that is 23 years old (yes I line dry my clothes with 8 people except for towels). Thank you, I know I am nuts. It has rusted all over and is very fragile but I am still using it because I cannot buy this one over here. Yes I could buy one at Ikea but those are fake. Cannot stand them. When Kevin puts a book on it or the kids run into they all get blasted because this stand is so fragile and about to break any minute. So Danica bought me a new one in Germany which is below. But here is the kicker.. She couldn"t put it on the plane because the measurement were too big They said she would have to pay $500.00 to put it on the plane. So her and my sister finally figured out a way to ship it for less but my sister had to drive it all the way to Lufthansa to the airport to ship it with the cargo. The German post office wouldn't let her ship it either because the measurements were too big. I know the story is lame but I am just amazed by her how well she knows me and listens to me. Mind you she is just a broke college student and she still did it. I love her so so much.
