Adoption Day!

May 17th will be a special day for our family every year from now on--it's the day Nathan officially became a George!  Our talented friend, Mike Olbinski, was able to join us at the courthouse to capture our special day in pictures!

We arrived at the courthouse and assembled our group in the parking lot before heading inside...



Great-Grandpa!



Uncle Nick got to meet Nathan for the first time today!

The youngest member of our group, Ivy Rose!

Inside the courtroom (it's a lot smaller than you think!) 

 

The entire hearing only took about 5 minutes and then it was picture time!

We headed to the clerk's office to get our certified copy of Nathan's Adoption papers

I'm pretty sure this was Jacob being camera shy!

Nathan loved meeting his Uncle Nick!  He was enthralled with his goatee!
