Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Chinese New Year

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Today is the beginning of Chinese New Year, specifically the Year of the Pig. In honor of this being the Year of the Pig, Po Po and Gung Gung had sent Lily this really cool piggy bank, even though she was technically born in the Year of the Dog. She was SUPPOSED to be a Pig, but she was too impatient!

She really only got to have a couple weeks of the Year of the Dog...18 days, to be exact. But those 18 days have been prety momentous for her. It's interesting for Mama and Dada - because we see her every day, we don't necessarily realize how much she's changing, but we think this picture tells the tale:

...........................day 1................................. day 18.........................
(when she was newborn and svelte, she looked just like her mama, but as she chubs up she's looking more and more like dad. Hmmm....)


Anyways, Lily is very happy to be celebrating her first Chinese New Year in the world, and wishes you all a prosperous Year of the Pig.
Love,
Marcus, Karen, and Lily Scholz
