And not soon enough.
Why would I say such a horrible thing? Am I unhappy with my life? Do I not like my kids or something? No, no. It's nothing like that.
It's the unaccountable Federal Agencies I'm not too fond of. We got a letter this week from a three-letter government agency that told us Harry has had his application for US citizenship DENIED. It seems that they recently decided, perhaps on a whim, that parents who have adopted children from abroad have to wait until said child has been in their custody for 2 years before they can legally become citizens. This rule is used for married couples to try to weed out those "green card weddings" that American dupes are so fond of.
I'm pretty sure Harry isn't putting us on.
Oh and that DENIED letter cost us $300. But I'm sure for some nominal fee (say, another $300), they'll look into it again.
Anyway, Gotcha Day #2 is just around the corner and we decided to celebrate today with a trip to Brookside Gardens. Harry enjoyed the place a lot more this year, mostly because he can now say "butterfly."
He spent a lot of time pointing and saying "Butterfly!" He spent a little time running when a particularly aggressive and vibrant swallowtail fluttered at him.

There is something amusing about the government surprising you on "gotcha day"
You owe us money - GOTCHA!
