Gugu!

"Gugu" is Chinese for "father's sister." Because of the patriarchy that is the Chinese culture, there is actually a difference in what you call your mother's sister, "a yi," versus your father's sister, "gu gu."

Anyway, Gugu (Flora) came out for 4.5 days to visit with Maxwell, and it was a blast. We had so much fun with Gugu, and she was able to impart much wisdom upon us. For dedicated OLC Blog fans, Gugu's children have their own blogs (which is where we got the idea for OLC Blog in the first place), and you can click on the cousin links to check out her super awesome, super adorable kids, Ian and Lia. We are also extremely thankful to Jeff (Gu Die) who courageously and magnanimously took care of the two kids so that Gugu could come out to visit.
