The Polar Express came to Highland and all the kids and their families were invited to come on the adventure. We took Shaleigh and Cody and after we got there Shaleigh met up with some of her friends and we followed behind. The kids were really nice to let me take their picture with each of the characters and then followed with Cody. The staff did a wonderful job and we enjoyed the fun and fellowship with her friends and the town.

Well the weekend of November 30 will always be special to our family. That is the day that Cody legally became our son. We along with Lee, Kristie and the kids traveled to Abilene and met up with Shelly and Grace to go to lunch and then over to the hearing. The judge was a very sweet lady and the lawyer was wonderful. The whole hearing Cody just sat there and ate puffs out of my hand. When she banged the gavel she said it was a 14 puff hearing. She couldn't wait to get her hand on on him and she just had to love on Shaleigh also.

Afterwards we left to go to Wichita Falls and then on to Weatherford. We had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed our time with family.
