Every time I think you have the most beautiful child ever, you come in with a new batch of pics that ups the ante even more. I hope that these will all be available on "Snapfish" or whatever so I can build another "grandpa album." Whatta cutie!
Hello, Well, I am awful about checking my home e-mail and have just recently started reading all your postings. I have very much enjoyed hearing the stories of your travels and most importantly seeing the beautiful addition to your family. Congratulations, I am so happy for you and pray for a safe return to begin Lilia's new "life" with her loving family. Thank you so much for sharing this! Love, Annamarie
Some images from our journey to China to get Lilia in May 2007:
AHHHHHH!
UNCLE DAVID AND RYAN
These two have spent hours playing hackey-sack and exploring the island together. (The only issue they argue about is their long-standing rivalry over a certain relative who lives in Corvallis.)
SNAKE WINE
Cost is about $1.50 per bottle.
SCORPIONS FOR SALE
Recipe (according to our guide -- apologies to any animal rights activists): Boil in water until they urinate. Take urine-free bodies and place in wine. Drink.
FAMILY PHOTO BY RYAN
After a few tries, Ryan figured out how to take a family photo and be in it at the same time.
LITTLE SISTER STAKES TOY CLAIM
GREETINGS
HAPPY FAMILY WITH LILIA'S PRIMARY CARETAKER AT THE ORPHANAGE
MAKING CONTACT
BANNED ITEMS AT TIANANMEN SQUARE
Apparently, horn playing and car bombing are held in equal contempt
SNACK FOODS AT BEIJING NIGHT MARKET
By the way, all of the above tastes more like tofu than chicken.
AT YUYUAN PARK IN SHANGHAI
Nine seconds later, Ryan jumped into the fish pond...just kidding, although he did ask to.
AIN'T NO PAYCHECK HIGH ENOUGH
Maintenance workers outside the 88th floor of the Jin Mao building in Shanghai
