At this time in 5 more days, my in-laws should be here in our house, safe and sound all the way from Malaysia. It would just take a hop and a skip to arrive at our front door from their front door: merely 47 hours or so which includes a 15+ hour transit layover in Singapore.

I bet they will want to jump into the shower immediately upon arrival, followed by a long night of sleep. IF they don’t have jet lag.

The last time we were together was when Fiona wasn’t quite 4 months old yet (she’s now 22+ months old).

My in-laws are extremely nice people. Most of the time I can converse with them as I would with my own parents, very frank and open. They thoroughly enjoy their grandchildren and can play with them all day long. My MIL is a really good cook. They don’t force me to convert to Catholic. They are very fun, adventurous people, willing to try new cuisines and things, unlike many Old Fashioned Chinese Old People (i.e. my own parents!). They are still very young - both in their late 50’s. The only thing is, I wish they lived closer!

To make the LONG and EXPENSIVE flight worth it, and to make up for the lost time being with their grandchildren, they will be here a few days short of 3 months.

I’m very excited!
