Archibald Family Reuinion

Image
The past two weeks have been very busy.  After the crazy week of mishaps, we got to go to court and finalize Esther's adoption.  Isaac also got a "certificate of brotherhood" signed by the judge that stated, "This is to certify that on this 2nd day of July, 2014 ISAAC REID ARCHIBALD officially became the brother of ESTHER LYNNE ARCHIBALD.  It is hereby acknowledged and ordered that Isaac will always and forever be a brother to Esther and will always love her."   It was a good day.   The day after the adoption, we drove 10 1/2 hours (including stoppage time) to Minnesota to the Archibald family reunion.  The pictures below are from that reunion. The two pictures above are Esther and Isaac as we waited for fireworks to start on the 4th of July.  We had to wait a long time and entertain ourselves. This is a picture of our family after Esther was given a name and a blessing in church.  The white dress was provided by Grandma Archibald.
