They're mine! Well, ours. ;)

My babies are my babies now! Adoption day was August 8 and we rocked it. 

When I notified my boss that it was finally, finally official, he gave me parental leave! I'd forgotten I was even eligible. I could have used it two years ago, when they first showed up. 

But I'm gladly taking it now.
This morning, I brought elder child to her new "school"--the three-year-old room at my accredited campus day care center--left my younger child with my husband, who had a full day of play planned, and hit the coffee house to write and drink coffee.
I did not know how much and how badly I needed this leave.
Yes, I've got some paperwork to do. New socials for the girls, for example. Applying for MA for them to supplement their new insurance.
But otherwise?
Deep breaths, Prof. Deep breaths.

Happy adoption day!

I am visiting the websites posted by authors on their Wild Hare profiles, and ended up here reading old posts. We were also blessed to adopt a daughter 24 years ago, so I wanted to let you know that I share your joy and hope you and your family are doing well.

Thank you! My girls are well and thriving. We're getting ready to register them for kindergarten, which is sort of amazing to me. I can't believe how fast they grow!
