This house is a HAPPY, HAPPY one! Yesterday the embassy called to tell us that "Eleanor Douglas" is OFFICIALLY a Canadian citizen! We weren't expecting the paperwork to be finalized until next April, so we're assuming they expressed the application after taking Nory's sweetness into consideration ;)
This may be a minimal deal for some people, but I am just over-the-moon, full-of-happy-tears about the news. For 8 months, our daughter has been a citizen of NOWHERE. Although she was born in Kuwait, she was not granted citizenship here and it took the government of Canada some time before they would recognize her as legitimate. NOW, though. NOW she is a full-fledged, Maple Leaf Sporting Gal. She IS Canadian. She BELONGS. And she's going to be showing off her Canadian pride at this year's World Junior Hockey Tournament in Malmo, Sweden.
Mmmm hmmm......Baby's First Christmas is going to be a really special one!
