Andrew's parents arrived here the day before Christmas Eve to spend the holidays with us. They're here until January 11th, so we have plenty of time with them all to ourselves. It's been a good week so far, though having a little one means we don't get out and around the city as much as we would previously have been able to do (everything is done in 2-3 hour slots) but we've had some fun times nevertheless. We hosted a Christmas Day dinner for a few friends from Church, we've done a little shopping, some cooking, some present-opening, some picture-framing, some eating, some movie-watching and some journey-planning.
On Sunday, straight after Church, we head to the airport and fly to Yunnan for a 5 day adventure to LiJiang. We'll be attempting to hike the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and maybe a trip up to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain too. We've never done this with a baby before (in fact I've never done it at all) so it will be a new experience in travel-parenting. We just hope no one gets altitude sickness!
Wish us luck, and I'll tell you all about it when we get back... :)

Best of luck on your trip! It sounds like it 's going to be unforgettable!! Can hardly wait to hear about it. Have fun.
The Chinese have a real talent for naming things, I love it. Random fact, I do get altitude sickness. I hiked Mt. Whitney last year...ugh...so sick.
Totally awesome adventure! Have fun, and take a ton of photos :)
It's Jen! I can't wait to hear how the hike went. So glad I found your blog!
Doughs - just got the Christmas card and it was great. We miss you guys back here in the "promised land". Best wishes for the new year for good health and much happiness. We love you all and can't wait for you to come hike the mountains of Colorado with us.
Love,
The Runyon's
