We started with a few family pics
E praising the Lord
The kids enjoyed looking out the window at the courthouse with Grandma Hartung, we arrived a little early so that we would be there when they were ready for us.
Grandma Pam, Grandpa & Grandma Hartung, and Daddy chatting while waiting for our turn in court.
Ada Grace "gichu gichu" Grandpa
Ada Grace trying to steal center stage back from her brother...it didn't work, it was Ethan's day!
Three generations...Grandpa Hartung, Daddy, and Ethan
Handsome little cowboy
Ada Grace sneaking in some Daddy time
This dress is just too adorable, she kept saying, "pretty pretty!"
Ada Grace copying Grandpa Hartung with his leg up on the ledge!
Ma wanted to take a picture of us reading the Tyler Tribute in front of the courthouse so she could put it in the paper!
Less than 20 minutes after court started, it was finished and Ethan was finally OURS! After court the Judge allowed us to take some pictures.
This is the WONDERFUL Eric, our lawyer...he did amazing things to help us adopt our son!
Looks to me like someone is VERY happy to be officially ours forever!
Ada Grace is looking pretty happy about having Ethan her brother forever as well!
This is Ethans PERFECT cake that Shelisa made for him! THANKS SO MUCH SHELISA! I loved it, it tasted yummy and it was wonderful
The punch bowl....or bucket!
Ethan enjoying some of the turkey and cheese
Opening a JOHN DEERE tractor from Daddy and Mommy
Kate and Paige helping his open his PJ's from the Grenz family
Very excited about his Mega Blocks from Uncle Zachie and Aunt Christy...we were soooo happy that Aunt Christy was able to celebrate Ethan's adoption with us!

I had asked for tool sets and tractors TO PLAY WITH when people asked me what he needed. Ethan received this tool set from Gpa & Gma Norgaard, he also received two others...one from Gpa & Gma Hartung and one from his Speech Therapist Christy. Yeah!
Ethan and Ada Grace really enjoyed having 2 week old Baby Ben with us...Here E went over to Ben's car seat and said "where baby go?"
Aunt Christy had him!
"Gichu Gichu"
Ethan hanging out on his waiting for Daddy bench
When we got home from court Mommy took his hat away from him but when Papa and Grandma Lila showed up he managed to get Papa's hat away from him.
OUR handsome little guy
For supper we went to Guadalajaras
Our lawyer thought this was a great idea...
