Sometimes we decide that more is fun! Sometimes we have ZERO regrets. Our bonus kiddo is amazing and spending more time with Ronon’s oldest sibling is always a blast.
So much fun! About 80% of the time. So winning.
We got to go hang out and play and visit with this cutie. I don’t know how excited she gets about seeing us, but my big kids are always stoked to see Elizabeth, Papa Scott, and Grammy D.
I just love her. 🙂
This baby had two sister shadows for the entire adventure. Little mother hens.
You can never have too many Papas to love on ya. 
Jon got right up in the park and played hot lava with the kids. I sat nice and comfy and chatted with Grammy D. 😉 And took photos.
Four little monkeys climbed all over for two hours! My boys passed out hard right after lunch.
Ronon tried his best to keep up with the big kids.
All the love. <3 Such a great family morning.
Court day. Severance of Ronon’s biological parents rights. Which makes it legal for us to adopt him. It also from a legal standpoint makes him an orphan/ward of the state until we get to finalize. Ew. ALL the feelings.
We had to wake baby up from his car nap. Look at his little sleepy face. He was not happy about it.
Got in some Snuggles before he was ready to get down and play. Hearings before us where as is normal for court running behind schedule. So it was a bit of a wait.
This cutie had no idea what was going on and was just happy to play and be as loud as possible. SO loud! HAHA! Jon and I had ALL the emotional whiplash though. Such a happy sad day for everyone who loves this little soul. We thought lots about his birth parents. And of course his aunt who was his middle Mom. Letting go of babies you’ve mothered sucks. My heart aches for his aunt and everything she is and will feel with having been a middle mom who lets go for the good of a child. Like I said a happy sad day for all of us. Permanency and openness and growing our family with all of his is good. The losses for all, not so much.
Our tent is massive.
