Inburgerings Diploma

The day before we left for America we got a letter informing us that Liz had passed her integration tests. We waited to share the big news until today, the official ceremony of the integration diploma. It was held at city hall and lasted an hour. There were about sixty diploma recipients, mostly from Turkey, Africa, and Asia. With so many nationalities, there were also many different types of names. At one point, Evie started repeating the names as they were called. That got many laughs when the names were difficult or long. iMovie is being used a lot these days... here's another video:

Thanks for the Bev reaction, but I think you really took it too far to say it is the coolest accomplishment in the family. :-)
