Friday was my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary. So we went out to lunch at the excellent Big Wing Wong in Chinatown. (They probably have the best chefs & ghetto-est waiters in Chinatown!) As you can see, the food was so good that we forgot to take pictures of it.

After lunch, we took them to a jewelry place to pick out new rings. Then we all had our rings engraved at another location. While we were waiting, Melanie & my Mom picked out some traditional Chinese dresses for Kaitlyn next door (see next post).

That evening, we went to Olive Garden together with Mel’s parents. The wait was long, the food was pasta, & the time we had together was great (& our parents had fun “fighting” for the check)!

We capped off the evening with a trip to BabiesR’Us next to the restaurant.

We have had our eyes on a day crib (one that can be converted to a full-size bed) from there for quite a while. And since Kaitlyn is outgrowing the porta-crib that we got from a friend’s friend, we decided that it’s time to get it.

But just like many things, we didn’t have to go deep into our pockets & pay for it ourselves. We are so blessed to have awesome parents, relatives, & friends who help us out a great deal in many ways. Everybody gives us baby clothes; friends spoil us with dinners & gift cards; parents let us use their car; aunts help us with parking tickets; uncle gives us cool baby toys & books; brothers & sisters get us even more baby clothes. This night was no exception. My parents insisted on paying for Kaitlyn’s crib. They ended up choosing an even nicer one. It’s so popular that we’ll have to pick it up later because it’s out of stock.

It was one very happy day for all of us.
