People say that you learn a lot about yourself when you become a parent. That point was driven home today when we went to pick up Ellie’s birth certificate downtown (yes, that means we’re coming to Canada! More on that later):
Look carefully now. Did you know that I was born in China? I certainly didn’t. Come to think of it, though, it makes a lot of sense. I had always attributed my love of Chinese food to being Jewish, but maybe I come to it more naturally than that. And ever since I was little I’ve simply had a passion for centralized planning. So, the truth comes out.
In other, less shocking news, we’ll be heading back to what I suppose is simply my adopted homeland, Canada, for a wonderful two week vacation. So, to all of our Toronto and Kingston readers, we’ll see you soon!
The rest in the series are, as always, here.
Well… now I am stalking you! First, Congrats on the new Dr. status! Now you have to use it. Kyle uses his all the time! Second, I can’t believe how big Ellie is getting! She looks like a whole new little person. Cutest baby ever! And, finally, let me know if you want me to drop stuff off Saturday morning. It’s not a big deal. I am sure I will see you a few times between now and the end of July, or at least I better!
I had to look at that bathtime photo of Ellie three times before I realized it wasn’t a fresco painting. Something about the color and faded saturation and her pose makes it look like someone painted that fifty feet high on the wall of a church.
(You should look into getting that done.)

[...] Thankfully, her corrected birth certificate has arrived so we don’t have to explain her Chinese parentage to the border [...]
