Sorry for the length of time it's taken to post. June's been a busy month. Most importantly, Ariana's adoption was finalized in Tennessee on June 17. We all went to the courthouse to attend, but prior to that we had a fun day at the waterpark, where Jim and Asa learned they are both the same age! :-) At least, that's what Asa ascertained. Swimming was followed by a delicious meal prepared by Heather, Aunt Cris, Grandma Pam, and Nickie. Sufficiently stuffed and wiped out from the sun, we decided to play a board game to get a better feel for who was most competitive in the bunch. It was quickly determined just who THEY were! :-) The next morning, Asa was excited just to see policemen and a courtroom where "the bad guys go to jail." The rest of us were excited to hear the judge declare Ariana Rose Michalski legally the daughter of Jim and Heather.
While admittedly it was a very difficult day for me, the love in that courtroom could not be duplicated anywhere else in the world. Ariana has a support team behind her that has no parallel. I am proud of where she is - and grateful for the life she has. I look so very much forward to what The A Team has in store. We are certainly not your ordinary family, but we have a love that spans to the moon and back. And we play a mean game of Apples to Apples!
