Shoe Bomber!

Today we woke up before 6 a.m. and as soon as the kids were on the bus around quarter to seven, we raced on over to Fargo (approx. 100 miles away) to the Government Building. We had 7 minutes to spare when we hit a detour and an extremely slow and long train that actually got to the last car and then started sliding backward on the track blocking the roadway for awhile. So, we were a few minutes late, raced in the door (good we had been there before) and went through the security checkpoint. Well, the alarm went off when I walked through the security system, and I had to be wanded. Turns out my shoes set off the alarm. When the security guard was convinced I was not a shoe bomber, we got in the elevator and arrived on the second floor at the USCIS about 10 minutes late.

However, no one was there and we got our fingerprinting done within 15 minutes.

When we got back home, we had a video in the mail of Sweeti at 6 months of age. We watched it with the kids when they got off the bus. It was fun to see her think and move and hear the sounds of her baby home. It was especially interesting to see how the caregiver interacted with her.
