Proud to be an American!

On February 6, 2009 Dele became a United States Citizen. He's been living in the US for about 20 years now and finally decided to give up his Nigerian citizenship. We took the kids out of school so we could all go and support him in his decision! It was a very nice ceremony in which each of the Nevada Senators had sent someone to read a letter written to those being Naturalized, three people spoke about what this day meant to them and 81 people from 13 nations were sworn in as US citizens. The kids did really well, actually, for as long as we had to wait for the ceremony to begin. Congratulations, Dele! :) We love you...now you're "One of US!" (no pun intended!)
