Happy Chinese New Year!
Today is Chinese (or Lunar) New Year, beginning the Year of the Dog. We're not planning to do much -- just order some Chinese food for dinner!
We've focused on my Irish heritage in our house since Jess and I got married. It's always been important to me, and Jess has an interest in the culture. Our trip to Ireland a few years ago was a real dream come true -- an unforgettable trip. When we bring our daughter home from China, we'll be incorporating some of her culture into our family too, but it won't be our sole focus. We plan to celebrate, learn about, and honor both heritages in our family (with a bit of Italian thrown in there too!). Right now the Chinese culture is new to us and we're learning all we can. We will have a truly American home -- a melting pot of cultures combined into one.

Year of the Dog and you are ordering Chinese food...does anyone else beside me see the humor in that statement?
I have wanted to travel to Ireland, England, and Scottland and visit the land of my ancestors. That is extremely cool you guys were able to visit!!!

Duane, you crack me up! I am a little worried about what we'll be eating when we're actually in China. I'm not the most adventurous when it comes to food. International travel has helped a bit with that, though
You should go to Ireland (and those other countries!) sometime. It's absolutely beautiful.
