Turtles and Octopus and Sharks, OH MY!

Today we went to Moody Gardens to visit Miss Allison.

Thank you Allison Towner for taking time from your busy day to show us around "backstage."  We had a fantastic time!

The Catwalk over the Shark Tank!

Winston the Octopus

Levi actually got to touch Winston - he was SLIMY!

The turtle was very curious about Levi.

The 'blur' that Levi is squealing at is actually a Seal.  Levi LOVED the seals!

Hanging out 'behind the scenes' in the Seahorse Hatchery

We watched them feed the brine shrimp to the Seahorses

Levi says, "I'm in the shark cage - ready to face the sharks!"

"These sharks are almost as cute as I am!"

Court date today!

Well....We got up early and headed to the courthouse. An hour and a half drive later, we were there. Ugh.
We knew things were not looking good for finalization today, as we are still waiting for some paperwork from Kentucky. But, we went anyway in faith knowing that God is in control.
Our good friend Allison showed up at court for moral support and to snap any Kodak moments if they come up.
Although nothing happened, Levi was ready for the day in all his cuteness.

Out of office

Today we heard that the State of Kentucky government offices are CLOSED this week. 

Hopefully, when everyone returns next week - they will be very willing to move our case to the top of the stack and sign the required paperwork. 

Rob, in his ever-lasting postive outlook said, "Well, it certainly keeps the story interesting!"

So - we wait on the edge of our seats, as I'm sure you have been doing, to see what happens next week. 

I'm sure it will be a lot of things.....but it won't be boring!

Random Cuteness

Enjoy some random cuteness today.

6 month check up = all good!

Levi had his 6 month check up yesterday.  He weighs 17lbs 2 oz. (41%); 26.5 inches long (50%).  Overall, he is very healthy and is progressing right on track. 

We are very proud of what he has learned  far.  He is able to sit up on his own, walk with assistance, and hold on to furniture.  He is also able to grasp any object and hold on [very] tight.  He is most definately getting some teeth.  Poor guy - that must be so painful. 

Regarding the paperwork, we are still waiting for the resolution of the Termination of Parental Rights - and hoping that it is all resolved by next Friday. 

Until then......


we wait.
