A Letter from Dubya

It's been a busy week at the Szym home...Titus and Levi started school (finally!) on Monday. Yes, they start late at the kids' school. I was out of town the first part of the week as I was tasked with hosting a big sales event at my company. Mommy had her first day on the job as a Lunch Room Monitor at the kids school - she's going to do that one day a week during the school year. And Ming...well, she received a letter from George W. Bush. No kidding. He didn't call her "Ming," but instead he referred to her as "My Fellow American." Which is exactly the point...he was congratulating her on officially being an American. As he closed the letter George wrote: "Welcome to the joy, responsibility, and freedom of American citizenship. God bless you, and God bless America." (Amen!)
The letter came with her official and 'original' certificate of citizenship. Pretty darn cool. The photo, by the way, was taken while we were in Guangzhou during a photo shoot for visa and citizenship documentation.
Ming slept soundly with her teddy bear, Pinky, knowing that she is the real deal here in America. (Don't you just want to kiss those little lips?)
