Cinco de Mayo

We will be leaving for China right around May 30th! Our travel approval is granted and we are just waiting for our consulate appointment. We should have our exact dates on Monday or Tuesday. Brittany is due on May 30th! C'mon little baby Avery...you know you want to come out and see the world early. If you aren't born before we leave, we probably won't see you until July!

Last Saturday we went to a Cinco de Mayo party at Bob and Sheri's house. It was a lot of fun and such a beautiful day.

As a multi-ethnic family we are trying to make sure we celebrate everybody's heritage. So it's Cinco de Mayo for Mia, Chinese New Year for Annie, Oktoberfest for Dan and me, and Saint Patrick's Day for Dan. But the holiday we plan on celebrating the most is Fourth of July, as Americans! That is what unites us. Ironically, we just found out Dan will be in Moscow on that day!
