Let Freedom Ring...and Ear Rings!


Wendesday, March 18th, Kevin became a U.S. Citizen! The ceremony was pretty nice and the judge was an immigrant too who became a U.S. Citizen in the 70s so it was cool to hear his story. Kayli and I had to watch on a screen in an overflow room, which I wasn't too happy about. We got there a little before 1:00 and it started at 2:00, but there were sooooo many people there. 199 people became U.S. Citizens and Mexico had the most people represented, 28. Other nationalities included China, Vitenam, Peru, Argentina, and Austrailia to name a few. It has been a four year process, so we are excited to finally be done!

After the ceremony we stopped at IKEA on the way home and bought a new bookshelf and ate at the restaurant. Later that night we met Kevin's mom and sister at the mall to eat and get ice cream. While we were there, we decided to pierce Kayli's ears!! We had been wanting to do it for a while, but never had time. They won't pierce infant's ear under 3 months old.

Here's the before...

Here's the during...


And here's the after...


She was fine right after, she just didn't like me having to hold her still. What a cutie!!
