Finally the last of our Adoption Paperwork

We finally went to have Olivia's adoption finalized here in the state of Wisconsin. With our type of adoption we really didn't have to do this but it will make things easier for Olivia when she gets older. So now she will get a type of birth certificate that is a Wisconsin birth certificate. Just in case her softball team goes to State in the future or something like that too. The court workers and judge were so excited to see us because they love to do these adoption cases because it is so happy, instead of all the other legal junk they have to do in a day. We got to go in the Judges chambers and pick out a stuffed animal. Olivia picked out a little Flamingo. It was a good day.

Not the Best day for Olivia's 1st State Fair

We know, We know Wisconsin needs the rain but the day we go to the fair. Well, we tried to make the best of it. Olivia's first pony ride, seeing the animals, and of course getting her favorite corn on the cob. She still had a good time even though it rained most of the day. Maybe next year we can ride the rides....

The last couple of weeks was so exciting it was one year ago on the 11th of July that Olivia set foot on American soil. A couple of days after we were home we brought her to her first parade. Fast forward one year ago and we brought her to the same parade. What a different little girl. She really got into the whole parade thing. Waving so they would throw that candy. Last year she just would look at us like we were all nuts.
Now back in Febuary I helped her try to go down a slide. After that all we would hear "MaMa pushed me" she wouldn't try another slide. Now she is a slide pro. She loves them.

1 year with Olivia

This post is a little late since we were up at my parents trailer during our first year anniversary of Gotcha Day. It is amazing how it has been one year with Olivia. Somedays it feels just like yesterday that we were in China and other times it feels like she has been with us since a little baby. Olivia is one of a kind she brings joy and happiness to our lives. We have had so much fun with her in this one year and cannot wait to keep going. We just love this little girl. I have never loved someone as much as I love her. She has my heart and my soul...
