Citizen Devon

Devon did his oath today in Seattle. He is now officially American (and Canadian, too). He had to trade in his green card for his naturalization certificate, and got a flag, a citizen's almanac, and a pocket guide of the Declaration of Independence & Constitution of the United States. The envelope is addressed "A Message From The President of the United States" (return address: "The White House").

Since Jordan was still in the hospital, and because Devon spent the day at a training session in his Environ Seattle office, he went up for the "ceremony" alone. He said he was the only one there without guests (there were 93 sworn in), and when he got home, he was the only one that could drink his congratulatory champagne (a gift from nurse Robin, who was working so she couldn't drink, and of course I couldn't due to baby "snigglefritz"). He's off to Irvine for the rest of the week early tomorrow morning, so I guess we'll have to save the real celebration for the weekend.
