So, Marina got her citizenship today. And that's me cheering her on. Wait, did you just say that you thought that was me crying? Shows what you know...Actually, I slept through the whole ceremony. It was just a bunch of judges, official people, and, oh yeah, all the people from all over the world getting citizenship. The judge (Judge Emmet Sullivan) made some great comments about never losing your own language and culture and teaching it to your children and to other Americans. A couple of cool lawyers spoke about their own immigration and doing political asylum work, and then the woman from the Daughters of the American Revolution spoke about Columbus Day and about how Columbus discovered America (I giggled thinking about Mimi's blood boiling during that commentary!!). Funny, no one mentioned that it was National Coming Out Day. They must have just forgotten...

Congratulations, Marina, on obtaining your US citizenship! We are proud of you, and it looks as if little Levi adores you, too! Love, Lynne and Ron
