I Think We Are Finally Official

I thought after receiving the green card we would be done with making things official. We still needed to go register which meant we had to go to the Immigration office and wait many many hours. It made me think of the Social Security office in America.
When we got there we had to get in line to get a number and then wait many hours until called. Not a lot of fun when you have the whole family including our little Tatar-Tot. She handled it very well and we are very proud of her and her patience. After getting called (one at a time) we each had to show proof of who we are, sign a paper, pay money and then go stand and wait to be called again. After being called we then went into another room where they finger-printed us. Then we went and waited once again. We waited at least another hour before we were given our Residence Card.  I am so glad that is done.  We don't have to do that for another year. 
One of the best things that happened while there is when Tatar-Tot made friends with a little girl (same age as her) from Bangladesh.  While waiting they sang, danced and ate snacks together.  I am so glad that our children have had the opportunity to get to know so many people from so many different countries.  What a blessing!
