The cavalry has arrived. Ying's mom successfully navigated Vancouver's airport and Canadian Customs and arrived here on Monday. Since then, she's cleaned our home while not letting Ying lift a finger, witnessed an extra-chippy basketball game of mine, gone for dinner with her relatives and braved Calgary Transit with Ying. As you can see from what I found when I arrived home for the long weekend a little early, she's either kept busy or is still dealing with jet lag. You'll have to ask Ying what's her excuse. Rod's coming down this weekend and Ying's mom will be giving a lesson in making zongzi. She thinks there are a lot of tall people in Canada and Ying's already let her know that Rod is the shortest of my three best friends. Obviously, Ying and I are extremely happy that she's here. Ying hasn't seen her in a year and a half and the extra help with the baby is most welcome. Ying's mom and sister also bought a lot of baby clothes while in China. The set of drawers which were just given to us are already full.
