A chance to watch the UNC women’s basketball team run all over UVA was too much fun for Hayley and Michelle to pass up when Hayley’s soccer practice was canceled.
Hayley got to pose with Ramses, get Raymond Felton’s autograph on her Felton jersey, meet Camille Little (who Michelle awarded the 3A Miss Basketball a few years ago) and cheer with the UNC cheerleaders for the final 10 minutes of the game. Can’t beat all of that plus a 29 point win over the Cavs.

A Wednesday afternoon at the park…
Ahhh, static from the slide. Nice hair 🙂
More static head…
Swinging
Monkey bars
Climbing up the slide
Swinging upside down – she loves that.
Climbing up the ladder
Goofing off on the slide

The lawyer has send the official adoption petitions to sign, notarize and send to the Clerk of Court! The Clerk will process the paperwork in 30 to 90 days and then issue a new birth certificate for Hayley Elizabeth Hillison! That’s it – we don’t go to court, we just get the paperwork in the mail that everything is done. Sorta anti-climatic but as long as she is ours, I really don’t care.
Her wonderful DSS social workers are coming this week as well to say goodbye. Their time with her is coming to an end and while it is sad, it is also a big step for her towards normalcy. And they go to court on the 23rd as well to report on her status, so they can say they have seen her.
Official adoption petitions!

Happy Hayley

Hayley and I went over to Chapel Hill to see some friends at the NCHSAA offices and after headed over to UNC to the end of women’s basketball practice.
I had a good long talk with the women’s SID and they again mentioning have Hayley be a ball girl next year. Hayley was SO excited about doing that and she was just dying to run all over the court then and there.
Coach Hatchell came over for a bit and we talked about the win over Duke and how happy she is Alana Beard is gone.
So Coach asks Hayley if she is coming to camp and I said, she’s too young. Coach asked when her birthday was (she’ll be 7 in April but camp is 8 and up). So she then tells us that she’ll make an exception for Hayley as long as she can get a shot up there. I’m so excited and Hayley was thrilled.
And the coolest thing – they dropped the age for me in 1978 too! The minimum age used to be 10 but my folks asked several times for the former coach to drop it down to 8, which she finally did … but I still was only 7 and a half. They took me and kept an extra close eye on me, which meant I got to know all the players and coaches extra well. Now that’s a family tradition!
Hayley is already practicing her shot!

Our next door neighbor Mason had her fourth birthday party this past Saturday and we, especially Hayley, had a wonderful time. It was a barnyard party where they watched Home on the Range, had lunch and lots of fun opening gifts.

On our trip up to Blacksburg, Hayley got an early Xmas present from Grandma Sharen & Grandpa John. It was some moon shoes that you put on your feet and jump – and you can get BIG air jumping on them. Much fun was had!
