Road Trip to Finalization...

This weekend we took a road trip to Kansas City to finalize Molly's adoption. Here we are in front of the courthouse after the hearing. Everything went great and we can officially take Molly to the temple to be sealed to us!

We love road trips! One of our favorite things is to check out small town treasures that we find advertised on billboards along the way. This soft serve ice cream was a true find at a little diner touting 25 different flavors of soft serve ice cream. I got lemon and Shane chose raspberry. Yum!

Molly was a champ in her car seat for the 8 hour drive! We planned our drive so that she could get her morning and afternoon naps while we did the bulk of the driving and took breaks when she woke up so that she could stretch. She did great!

Ready for a good nights sleep in the hotels playpen!

We loved the time we got to spend with Ana while we were in town!

Hanging out with Ana and Doug

On our way back to Chicago we stopped at Todd and Tam's for the night. Preslee was excited to show us how she rides her new bike in the garage. Shane wanted a piece of the action!

Our Sunday shot for the week! It's so fun to have cousins!

HOORAY everything is signed and almost sealed. ha ah. get it? I am so clever. Cute pictures! Love the one of Pres and Molly. And that yogurt thing sounds delicious, well actually the thing that you find billboards then actually go to thing they advertise. Very cool.
