Of Non-Existance

I have a confession to make:  Emmett is four and a half months old and we don't have his birth certificate yet.  Nor have we sent off for it.

For those who don't know, getting a copy of the birth certificate is not an automatic thing.  You actually have to pay for it.  And as I keep forgetting to budget the $15 and, more importantly, I keep forgetting to make a copy of my driver's license anytime I'm actually in a location where that would be possible, it hasn't happened.

So, according to our records, our son does not yet exist.

Fail.

  3. Yeah, he's definitely real. We didn't get Bekah's for 3 and a half years and certainly didn't bother with Clare's. Then John joined the Army and *surprise* they needed to verify our daughters were real!! So we paid them the $15 and they sent off for them and now we have copies!!! Not necessarily the most effective means to the end, but it's always an option. ;) LOL
