Micah is official

Micah's passport came today and he turned two months today. It's amazing how fast they can pump out a passport when you are not in the country! It took less than 2 weeks! I think it took like months for ours.

What I find interesting about this passport process was that it required the American parent to prove he/she was in US for the 5 years prior to the birth of the child. I don't understand why since the parent is American even if they are not in US 5 years prior to the birth. The other thing is the documentation --- they ask for tax information or transcripts. What if you are a stay at home Mom? Thank goodness I went to school forever so I showed my diplomas since I don't have 5 years worth of W2 to show. Another thing is, I can just make a transcript myself since it's really just a computer print out. It's interesting how many paper pusher there are in bureaucracy.

Mattie and Mikey also had their first play date in this country. Mattie really likes Anderson because he is 3 and has lots of new toys. Chloe is really cute with Mikey too.
