I don't remember what we had for dinner that night but she sure liked it.

So we had our court date and the parental rights for the girls were terminated. So what this means is that right now the state of Texas has legal rights over the girls until all the allotted times have passes for parents and family to appeal or intervene. At that time the will be placed for adoption and everything should go to the adoption courts and we will then be able to adopt them. The trial was exhausting but good, it took the jury less than 30 minutes to decide to terminate the rights. Its amazing some of the things that came out during the trial that happened to the older children. All six of the kids are in a much better place now and that's all that matters.

Peyton is 5 months old today and its so amazing to see the difference in where she is now compared to where Isa was at this age. We know what a loving home does for a child. Aunt Amanda came down from Oregon for the trial and stayed for three weeks. It was wonderful having her here and I know the girls love it when she comes to visit. Here are some updated photos of everyone.
