Hou tian minus the da

I thought that I'd written about this in the past, but I can't find it, so maybe I didn't. Anyway, one of my favorite words is da hou tian, which means the day after the day after tomorrow, in Chinese. First, I love that there is a word to describe that day. Second, I love that it is literally the big (da) day after tomorrow (hou tian). So, I like it when something is the day after the day after tomorrow, so that I can say da hou tian. But I forgot to use it yesterday. But that's okay, because that means we're actually another day closer to Sam's arrival. When I wake up in the morning, I can even say ming tian.

Thanks for sharing in my excitement, y'all!

Congratulations to all of you. I can't wait for your big man to meet back up with your little man and for all three of you to share one group hug.
