Officially Canadian!

Our little Canadian!
At long last, Ava's Canadian citizenship certificate arrived this past Friday. This is a huge answer to prayer! We celebrated with Ava over strawberry ice cream in the afternoon and then with a taco party with a bunch of Tristan's buddies who were sleeping over.
Singing O Canada over celebration brownies, with Robert, Tristan, Ezra, Ava, Emma, Michael, Mommy & Daddy!

We want to thank everyone who has been praying for us through the long adoption and citizenship process. We thank God for this wonderful gift!

  1. Hi Erica- you probably dont know me, but i know "of" you guys. My parents know Paul and Kelly well (my dad was their youth pastor a long time ago), and we were the host family for the Otenos who came to Winnipeg (not sure if you know them as well). Anyhew.. that being said, was wondering if you would mind chatting a bit re the citizenship process for Ava, we are just starting the journey with our own mozambiquan adopted daughter and could use any advice you have. Currently we are waiting for a Visa so we can go home and visit, but its taken a long time, tons of docs and tests, and we still dont know if they will even give us one. You can find my at www.rickandheather.blogspot.com my email is posted there. Blessings on you guys!
