Nate LOVES being a big brother!
Xander is getting so big! At 6 weeks, he is already 11 lbs!
Waiting to go into court! We 'dressed' Xander up in his cute little tie shirt!
Court with Xander and 'Momma Molly' on June 13!
We are sooo in love with our sweet baby! Xander is so awesome and we are still in awe that he is here! Today he is officially six weeks old! It is crazy how fast it has gone! Yet, in some ways...it has been slow! We finally went to court on June 13 and were granted custody of Xander and his official adoption date is set for January 18, 2012. Molly and her mom were there at court with us and it was really special having them there with us. It is amazing how our families have united and the friendships that have been formed between us all. It is nothing short of a "God-thing". Anyway, we were under the impression that after court we would be able to go home. However, that was not the case. The State of MO then had to petition the State of KS to give us permission to head back over the state line. We were told this was a fairly quick process but unfortunately, we are still waiting and it has been almost a week. I totally understand and respect the protocol but it has been very hard being away from home for 6 weeks. Needless to say Xander and I are doing our best but I am super homesick and sooo ready to take Xander home! It is just a matter of the State of KS calling us to give us clearance so here's to hoping that the call comes SOON!
