Happy Adoption Day!

Today we went to court to finalize the girls' adoption. They are now legally our daughters! Our family joined us at court and for lunch afterward. We are all so thrilled the day has finally come.






It was an exciting day, and, like most exciting days, it ended like this:

Preschool

Well, the day has finally come. The girls started preschool this week. Monday was their first day at Rocking Horse Ranch, which is an awesome preschool really close to our house. They LOVE it. They were so excited to go, and both days that we've picked them up, they haven't wanted to leave. Today, when Abby saw me at pick up time she said "No. Don't see me. I want to stay at Rocking Horse Ranch"! I figure that's a good thing. The teachers say that they are doing well and having a lot of fun.

SF Zoo

Today, despite the chance of rain, we went to the San Fransisco Zoo. It was SO fun (and a bit chilly). The girls had so much fun seeing all the animals. Especially the grizzly bears. We sat and watched them for a good 30 minutes or so.

That's My Boy!

Princesses!

Thursday was Carey's and my anniversary, and, like I always do on our anniversary, I put on my wedding dress. Abby kept looking at me and hugging me saying "Mommy's a princess. Oh, my mommy princess!" She and Haley also dressed up like princesses, of course. Abby wore my veil and looked SO cute. Oh, and they hid under my dress and jumped out to surprise Carey when he got home!

Saturday Outing

This morning we decided to take the kiddos to Natural Bridges State Park to see the monarch butterflies. After we walked around the paths for a while, spotting many beautiful butterflies along the way, we walked over to the beach for a little snack. It was Seth's first time at the beach, and he pretty much slept through it. The girls had fun, though. Abby ran and ran and ran and ran. Haley sat with Carey and I and we all laughed at Abby running (she sort of looks like an old man when she runs).



They are looking at a butterfly that "someone broke"!

So Much To Say

Sethy has had so much to say lately. I finally got a little on video the other day.



(Sorry about the shadow. I have to hold the camera off to the side so that he can't see it. Anytime he sees the camera he stops what he's doing and just stares at it.)
