Cesar's adotion final

Cesar's adoption has been finalized. We were quite the troop going into the courtroom. The judge said that we made her day, she said she doesn't get to judge good cases, normally always for something bad having happened.

She even wanted to be in the picture holding Malina. (I had to block out Rachel and Gabe's faces for legal purposes. Afterward we rented a hotel room in Tucson with a pool so the kids could spend the day swimming, then we went out for dinner.

We have been working together with Triumph Free Lutheran Church here in Nogales to try to earn moneys to take the kids up to Colorado this summer to the A.F.L.C youth convention (http://www.aflc.org/youth/fly). We have been doing garage sales and are going to do some car washes as well. I will be taking Gracie, Cesar, Rachel and Gabe and we'll be traveling along with youth from Triumph and the Churches from Tucson and Phoenix.
