Shazam!!!

As of 2:45 this afternoon, Violet's birth father's parental rights were terminated!
As of 12:30 this afternoon, we have officially had both of our post placement visits!
Other than one last court date that is basically a formality, Violet is ALL OURS!!!!!!
No more legal mumbo jumbo. No more worries about whether or not the birth parents can take her back. No more wondering. She is OURS!!!!!!
Yeeee Haw! and WHEW!
It is amazing how heavy that weight was, even though we knew it was unlikely the birth dad would come and claim her. Fortunately, I didn't know when his rights were being terminated until I met our counselor for lunch today that it was this afternoon. I love the instant gratification of THAT!
And for your viewing pleasure...Sweet new Violet photos. In the past few days, she has started to babble a lot more, will giggle that crazy baby giggle when we tickle her, and is just amazingly happy. Look at that smile.
