Happy, happy Valentine's Day!

Hi there!  I hope your week is off to a great start.  What better way to start the work week than with VALENTINE'S DAY!  :)  Bear Cub was THRILLED with his new Phineas and Perry the Platypus stuffed animals.  The boy LOVES the Disney cartoon, "Phineas and Ferb."  I have to admit...I do too!  It's pretty funny, yet still not TOO big kid-ish for my lil man.

BC also had a Valentine "Friendship" party at school which he said was "very fun."  He was excited about his Valentine cards and most definitely the CANDY!  He went from no sweet tooth to a mouth full of them!  Ha!  Takes after his mother there.  ;)

Sorry for my short blog -- I will update again with pics from last week's trip to the fun Florida State Fair!
 He look so big in these pictures!  My baby!  I know I'm biased...but that face!  He is so dreamy!

My homemade Valentine treat!  BC and I couldn't decide between chocolate chip and peanut butter cookie dough to make our cookie cake, so we did half and half!  It was YUMMY!!!  :)

It's Official..for the second time now! ;)

Hi there!  Well, Thursday was our court date to readopt Bear Cub here in the States.  This was an optional thing to do, but it will make HIS life easier as he can know obtain a copy of his birth certificate from the good 'ol US of A, instead of Russia.  :)

It all ran smoothly and it was an easy process!  We were in and out of the courtroom within 10 minutes...at the most!  The judge seemed really nice and he said he LOVED doing these cases as it was for something GOOD instead of what he usually sees.  I'm glad we could brighten his Thursday some!  Bear Cub was a wiggle worm...surprise, surprise.  But thankfully, he is so gosh darn cute and young enough still, that everyone thought he was adorable.  Phew!  ;)  He did shake hands with the judge and answered the few questions he was asked.  All in all, it was a great experience and now truly, the end of the adoption process.  I'm glad we did it!  We'll be getting his new birth certificates within the next few weeks.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday to you!  I don't have a preference as to who wins...usually I enjoy the commercials more than any of it!  :)  Have a good one!

 Getting sworn in...BC did great with the hand raising!
 BC said he was going to make a silly face for this one...and yes, he did!
 Here he is...spinning around and around me while the attorney asked us a few questions.  
 Listening in for a split second?
 Split second GONE...trying to climb into the juror box.  Oh my.  Me...TRYING to pay attention still!

 Shaking hands like a big boy!
A nice picture!  The judge asked BC if he wanted to sit up in his judge's seat.  BC very seriously shook his head 'no.'  I don't think he knew WHAT to think of the guy in the black robe!  Ha!  :)
