Chinese New Year

Owen turned six months old today, and befitting his rather uneventful half year birthday, this blog post is not going to be about how our son has now made it half way around the sun. Taking a more lunar bent instead, this blog post is about the Chinese New Year. On Saturday we took Owen over to our friend Billy's mom's place to say goodbye to the year of the dog, and ring in the year of the pig.

It really was quite brave of Billy to have us all over. As soon as Billy's mom saw Owen, she fell in love, and the questions about when Billy would bring home a baby began. When Chad arrived with his daughter, Uma, the baby pressure on Billy only increased. To top it all off, when our friend Melanie started speaking Cantonese, Mrs. Kung thought she found the perfect woman to bring home those babies with Billy. Sadly for Billy's mom, Melanie's husband was also at the party, foiling her plans of a Cantonese speaking wife for Billy, and a lucky grandchild in the year of the pig.


(p.s. I know it looks like the babies were really tying one on, but all the beer was non-alcoholic, and neither of them actually drank anything anyways... ;-)
