13 Months

13 months. That is how long it took for us to receive Oliver's amended certificate of citizenship. The average time for processing is still listed as six months.  Okay, to be fully honest we are actually four days short of 13 months.

Saturday was another fun family day, including crazy poses and Easter egg dying. He topped it off with a little playtime with his neighbor friend. Another great day!
