Sol’s Day In Court

Today, well I guess technically yesterday, was Sol’s re adoption in the US court system.  He is officially Solomon James Altaseb Kelley.  His birth certificate is now on the way and once it arrives we can then get him a social security card and his citizenship done.  No more courts for us!  I didn’t think I would be very emotional, but our judge was just super sweet and we had to say “yes” to the sweetest questions with our right hands raised.  And at the end, I can’t even remember what all he said, but the end of the last sentence the judge said was “as if he had been born to you.”  LOVE IT!  I was a mess.  The judge then asked to hold Sol and of course we needed lots of pictures.  He let him hold his gavel and then gave Harper, Huddy and Sol big, giant Tootsie Roll suckers for being so good.  Sol wasn’t allowed to eat his…waiting for his first sweet to be his birthday cake.  But he did enjoy sucking on the wrapper.  It was a great day and here are some pictures to prove it.

Waiting for his turn.

We’re about to enter the judges chambers.

Right hands raised.

Also please keep in mind I will not be working on any new orders until January.  You can still email me to place orders, but I will not be starting them until January. Here are some orders that will be shipped out this week.

This 16×20 Names of Jesus piece was ordered by Jenny in Nashville.  Thanks so much Jenny and glad you love it.

This order was placed by Becca in Oregon.  Her family is adopting from Ethiopia and she needed a “Big Sister” shirt for her daughter and an Africa shirt for herself to show some love.  Thanks Becca and hope your adoption goes perfectly.

This Africa tee was ordered by Erin in Missouri for a sweet little girl who is home from Ethiopia with her forever family.  The little one’s 1st birthday is coming up and Erin thought this would be the perfect gift.  Thanks again Erin.

This last order is super special because it is actually my first order out of my Etsy shop and it is headed to Montana.  I am totally pathetic when it comes to keeping up with my Etsy shop, but low and be hold, I had a buyer today and here is what she chose.  Thanks so much Beth for just adding even more to my great day.
