America (and a touch of Canada) - Sept/Oct 2007

Christian’s turn to meet the parents! And the dogs and the friends and the biggest serving sizes in the world... And all he got was a hundred pounds of baby supplies and a pregnant wife.

Elopement by Balloon - Sept 25, 2007

Not exactly a traditional wedding: our guests (all strangers) had no idea what was happening, we acted as our own officiants, and the entire ordeal took place hundreds of feet over a lake near Boulder Colorado.

TK in Mongolia - Jul/Aug 2007

Tk’s doctor wasn’t terribly thrilled when TK said, “I’m going to Mongolia next week, it’s okay to travel right?” “You will probably be more sick,” She said with a shrug. Boy was she right! Moral: Developing Countries aren’t so comfy when you’re eight weeks pregnant, even if your host is Miss Mongolia.

World Scout Jamboree (England) - Jul/Aug 2007

Once a boy scout, always a boy scout... At least in Christian's case. He illustrated this point with exclamation points when he fled China to go dig holes in British soil with a bunch of other die hard boy scouts.

Beijing - May 2007

With real mozzarella, V8, Mexican food, foreign language books, and a smog cloud you can see from space, Beijing is like our little northeast China mecca. This trip we just happened to bump into Miss Portia, another Dalian expat desperate for reading material. To celebrate, we ate some duck.

Qingdao - Apr 2007

Reunited after two months of an exclusively Skype-cellphone relationship, we decided to take the party down to Qingdao, mainly because we’d never been there. Believe it or not, we did manage to leave the hotel room on occasion (mainly to eat).

Europe - Feb 2007

TK managed to escape a bitterly cold winter in a lonely apartment in the middle of nowhere for a reunion with the geographically estranged Christian and an introduction to Christian’s *gulp* parents.
