Im a new mom :)

Our adoption was finalized this morning

Her name is Vayler Lily. she is so beautiful, brown curly hair and big brown eyes.. she kind of sticks out like a sore thumb with our blond/blue family LOL..

I am so glad none of you cant actually see me because I am doing a happy dance and it kind of looks like this

She just turned three!!! I got her on Sept 5th of last year so the adoption took just a little over a year to complete... But things went very smooth
