We had Eli's Ohio readoption hearing on Friday and he is now legally Eli Oscar! Ohio already recognized his adoption, but we had to go through this process in order to get his name changed to Eli. We will receive his new Ohio birth certificate in about 6 weeks. After the judged announced that it was "official," Eli started clapping. His timing could not have been more perfect! The judge even gave Eli is own mini gavel.
We celebrated Friday evening at our city's annual "Boogie on Broadway." This boy LOVES to dance and he can really bust-a-move! He was not shy and charmed the crowd with his dance moves.
We got together with family yesterday for a little BBQ. Eli swimming with his cousins.

Cograts Mr. Eli Oscar, Do you think you could teach me how to dance. hee hee!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, you've beat us big time on the readoption. Jadon is still "Kevin" can you believe it. But in our state it costs $$$$ to hire a lawyer, so that's our holdup.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could see Eli's moves!! Looks like he can break it down!!!
YEA! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
ReplyDeleteYou beat us to it also. It is $$ where we were before so we waited until the move now that we are in the same state as you :) I can go ahead once I get unpacked...Hope we can meet in person soon.
Eli is so cute!
