She’s Official

Our wonderful government has seen fit to pronounce our wonderful daughter an official US Citizen with all rights, privileges and taxes inherent therein. She didn’t even have to sign anything! We have been keeping up (somewhat) with the other parents who traveled in our adoption group, and most of them had received their citizenship paperwork weeks ago. Needless to say we were slightly worried. Of course, our government is quick and efficient in all things, so there’s no way a little piece of paper like this would be late (hahaha).

To keep it in perspective, not having this paper would just mean more forms to fill out – it doesn’t really have much practical everyday consequence. And now that we have the paper, Uncle Sam doesn’t suddenly rush in and change those poopy diapers for us either.

We also recently had some family pictures taken. What a deal at Portrait Expressions – $100 and an hour or so and we had an inch-thick stack of photos and a CD with 80+ professional pictures on it. Sweet.
