Yesterday we received Danielle's Certificate of US Citizenship! We knew it was coming, but it was still amazing to receive it! It was more emotional than we expected. Along with the beautiful certificate, came a letter from President Bush - it was pretty cool! Now we can go ahead and get her social security number and US passport! She is officially an American! Techinically she became a citizen when we landed in Detroit and the Immigration officer opened her packet, but now we have it in writing - praise God!
Danielle continues to transition nicely into our family. She truly is a Tanski!! We continue to be grateful that God allowed me to quit my job this past fall - it has been good to be able to stay home and take care of the girls. In fact, if I still worked for the school system, I would already have had to call in sick for 3 of my first 5 days back! Liz and Danielle have had colds, and unfortunately, Danielle's cold has progressed into an ear infection and bronchitis. So, IF I had gone back to work, I would already be out of sick time for the rest of the year!! Praise God that I am a full-time mom so that I can take care of my sick kids! They are both doing better, especially since Danielle is taking antibiotics....which wasn't easy at first! She threw a fit and didn't want to take it, but when we clap for her, then she is motivated and takes all of her medicine! This little girl loves praise - and she gets it too, as long as she isn't get into something that she is not suppose to!!! God has truly blessed our family - we have 3 beautiful girls, who we love deeply. Every day is a new adventure - some days are happy adventures, some days are learning adventures, and some days are whiney adventures - just wait until they are teens! The Tanski household will be quite interesting!

What a pretty little US citizen - glad she is doing well. I must say that I'm a bit envious of your current employment status!
