We capped a special day with friends and family just after 1:30 when a Muskegon County Judge announced that Micah's adoption was finalized. It was a wonderful time and a real blessing to consider the addition Micah has created in our lives!

More pictures and videos of the celebration

Micah was placed in adoptive placement with us Nov 18 and exactly 6 months after that (the minimum) his adoption will be finalized May 18. We're totally excited and can't wait to celebrate the big day. I'm sure there be pics and vids from the event the evening of.

We spent a nice weekend at home, tending the yard, going for walks and enjoying some good food. Mom and Micah both liked the Mother's Day special, Creamy Fennel and Potato Soup.

Very interesting article on race in the New York Times this weekend.

Posted new pics and vids as well after a weekend with Grandma and Grandpa.

Dan's brother Justin and sister-in-law Kata life in Washington D.C. and as it had been a few years we decided to take advantage of the Easter weekend and make a little visit. It was totally worth the 22 hours back and forth in the car. Micah travelled like a trooper and Washington D.C. was at the peak of spring. Cherry blossoms, tulips and green grass everywhere. We took in some sights, had a great time catching up with Justin and Kata and just enjoyed a great weekend.

Kicked around, relaxed, got Micah in the Johnny Jump up for the first time, updated Boxee and am digging the PBS and Pandora apps, and of course enjoyed the symphony. You have to say that when your wife is playing!

I see it's been six weeks since I posted. Not so hot. Things have been moving a long though. We made it through a number of colds, recuperated in the warmth of Florida and are now back slogging through the last of winter. We've been enjoying a few movies (most recently A Very Long Engagement), new music (U2's No Line on the Horizon) and of course stories in the media (well not too much to enjoy there recently - maybe if they just shut up for while. . . .). So check out our Flickr pics or You Tube vids at the side and stay caught up.
