Now 1o months since we began the process of adopting baby Caleb, he is finally, legally, ours-all-ours! What a happy-sad day; crying with relief after the hearing, I realized just how much this moment has been weighing on me. But now it is done, the adoption is FINAL, and we will shortly receive Caleb's birth certificate with our names listed as parents...what a day. Share the joy in our "new family" pics.
On a recent 4-hour drive baby decided he had had enough of his carseat and wanted OUT, NOW! We still had 40 or so miles of highway to go before home, and no amount of cooing, cajoling or forehead stroking was helping. After listening to him caterwaul for 20 minutes we had the big bright idea of turning on the stereo. Ta-dah! Magic, or Moby, as it were. Beautiful music, peaceful baby, almost home. Aaaahh.
