26 March 2013

It was a long and, at times, frustrating process. But on the 26th of March, 2013, Phoebe took the Oath of Citizenship and formally became a naturalized United States citizen. Stacy also automatically became a U.S. citizen as soon as her mother did, although she has no documentation to that effect.

Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed in the court house and so all we have is a picture of them with the presiding judge outside after the ceremony. On the one hand, the ceremony itself wasn't much to write home about -- mostly administrative details being taken care of. But the judge gave a very nice speech and took some time to highlight the broad number of countries and ages represented.
