Clip show...

You know how on TV shows the writers get lazy and just paste together a bunch of previous material?  Well this is kind of like that.  Just upload some old pictures, and pass it off as a look back through what's happened during our time here.

Our goodbye party....alternatively titled "how an Ahrens ages"

Some respite in CA before the big adventure

but no escape from Chinese tourists...even in the US

The only way to pass the time in a Chinese hotel

The meat department in a Chinese WalMart

Yum

Now you know why we ate Skippy for a whole month....

Now for some bright spots.  We made friend...

Posed by some touristy statues

More touristy statues...

Enjoyed the sunshine...

The tropical breeze....

Found some grass....

And some clover.....

Don't know what we did here, but I'm sure it was fun....

Took our first scooter ride....Started learning to crawl by ourselves...

Started learning ride a scooter by ourselves...

Started learning to poop by ourselves...
Learned to crawl better....

Still played cowboy...

And monkeyed around...

And made glorious messes...

Found tiny cute friends...

And even cuter (not so tiny) brothers...

Went to Hong Kong, only to find the food was even weirder...

Did some more touristy poses...

  And touristy photos of the Hong Kong harbor....

But mostly sat in a Hong Kong hotel waiting for the rain to stop...

Cohen should caption this one, since apparently he had something important to say....

At least Hong Kong had clean water...

And Cuban cigars........

.
 Which we naturally smuggled back into China...

Life here pretty much goes on as usual....

Still have to do our everyday chores....

And keep an eye on this guy....

We have our bad days...

But overall, we're pretty blessed.  And we have chopsticks galore...
