Smile Adoption Day

Well...we had the adoption hearing for M and J today. Did not even last 5 minutes, shortest one ever. When the judge asked the GAL if he had anything to say...he said "just look at them Judge, these are not the boys that we sent to Indy 8 months ago, he swapped them". The boys had their new suits on and looked great. I had all 6 boys dressed up. They looked great.

We had a great time! Life is good.

Congratulations Indy!! So glad to hear that all went well. I especially liked that you received recognition for your well mannered and clean cut boys.

Wink Thanks Riley6

Just don't tell them that! They get big heads! I am thinking about sending them to an ALL boys school...the girls keep calling. I don't even have to answer the phone anymore. It's never for me anyway!

I wonder...how many phone lines can I run into the house?
