Here is a slideshow of this morning's "readoption" ceremony at the courthouse. We ended up waiting for 40 min. to get into the courtroom. We don't know if the previous family in the courtroom were finalizing a settlement or if we were waiting for the judges. Other than the wait, the actual ceremony went off without a hitch. There was one other family waiting like us for the readoption ceremony. The lawyer was there to tell us what to expect and to take all the signed documents from the judge once the ceremony was over. We should be receiving a new birth certificate for Ava in about twelve weeks. The birth certificate will have Ava's new name on it. I was really happy that my parents, brother and best friend was able to join us today and help us celebrate anothe special day in my children's lives. Not to mention that Sebastian was able to share this moment with his sister today ;-)
So with no further a dieu (?) here is AVA LIEU HICKS!!
