Happy Year of the Rat!
Here's a series of the cuties in their Chinese zodiac T-shirts (from ChinaSprout) on Thursday. We decorated the house with things we purchased in Taiwan and had our friends the Willards (who are waiting to adopt from China) over for dinner. (We also got together for CNY last year, right before we left for Taiwan, so we're hoping it will be an annual tradition.) It was very fun!

How cute!!! It must be so fun to have a big brother to play with! Lauren is getting taller isn't she?!
Ah the little ram and dog. Sweet!
Hannah and I were talking about CNY the other day and we went WAY BACK on your blog so we could look at those crazy pig flower sculptures from your trip. I can't believe it was the first time I scrolled back to the beginning- the updates, the waiting, the torture. And then your trip. And Lauren Ling Day- YAY! Happy Chinese New Year to all of you! xoxo js

According to the popular legend, the Rat was the first to arrive to a dinner hosted by Buddha (but only after hitching a ride on Ox’s back and then jumping over the finish line) so this is why the Rat is the first sign of the Chinese zodiac. It signifies new beginnings. 2008 is therefore an appropriate time to commence new ventures, including new ideas, directions, and ways of doing things. There will be ample time to see your projects through and opportunities for you to achieve success. However, keep in mind that your actions may have long terms effects, so be wise with your decisions.
The Rat’s fixed element is Water. Although Earth has a negative relationship with the Water. This is not entirely a bad thing, but it does mean that you should not be relying as much on luck this year.
The combination of Earth and Rat is extremely positive in terms of achieving results. The Rat is a risk taker, while Earth is associated with practicality and stability. Therefore there is a good balance which in turn can lead to good profits, increased productivity and accomplishments in many areas of life. And, under Earth's stable influence there could be fewer scandals than in other, Rat years.
The year of the Earth Rat is also a good year for intellectual activities as well as art related activities such as design and graphics.
