Time to say good-bye to Beijing. Thank you to everyone who showed up to see us off. We miss you!


Out of the returning Waldrons, Mom, Dad and I wanted to stay, Marianna was happy wherever, and Olivia couldn't wait to get back to the States.


LA at last. Boy, are we tired.]]> http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080708-155823 Kathryn Waldron Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:58:23 GMT http://www.waldronsinchina.com/comments.php?y=08&m=07&entry=entry080708-155823 http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080411-150101 One year ago we were in China. Now...

Laura's gotten married! May I introduce: Mrs. Laura Morgan Meyer.

And I'm visiting Washington D. C. with my dad!

Last year at this time, we managed to get lost. Instead of going to the nearby park across the street, we wound up in a buddist temple.


It was in the middle of a week long celebration, so many people were bringing gifts.


They burnt enough insense to make you sick. ]]> http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080220-153245 Kathryn Waldron Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:32:45 GMT http://www.waldronsinchina.com/comments.php?y=08&m=02&entry=entry080220-153245 http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080204-170547
Ahoy, mates! Using the Seven Seas shipping company, we sent all these boxes ahead of us to the States. They didn't arrive until two months after we did.


Will it all fit?:|


Nope. I guess it won't. ][


Somehow I don't think the Airline had our family in mind when they made the rules on how much luggage passengers could bring.]]> http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080204-170547 Kathryn Waldron Mon, 04 Feb 2008 23:05:47 GMT http://www.waldronsinchina.com/comments.php?y=08&m=02&entry=entry080204-170547 http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080122-113611
Right before we left China, Mom and I decided we wanted a traditional formal Chinese dress called a Qipao. After trudging through several shops trying on ready-mades that just wouldn't fit, we decided to have two tailor made. Our Chinese teacher Jocelyn willingly helped us with translating.


Six months later...the dress still fits! ][]]> http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080122-113611 Kathryn Waldron Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:36:11 GMT http://www.waldronsinchina.com/comments.php?y=08&m=01&entry=entry080122-113611 http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry080122-111238

On our second day in Shanghai we went to the ancient water city of Zhijiajiao, a Chinese Veince.

The first day, we walked around the Bund- a famous street in Shanghai known for its European buildings, and went to see a very beautiful (and very large-we nearly got lost) Chinese garden.


Opposite the Bund is Shanghai's business secton and the Oriental Pearl TV tower.


This is from the top of the Jin Mao tower, looking down through the eighty-eight floors of the hotel in the same building. Very scary!

Blowing up Olivia's ball.


Boy, am I glad I'm not our hamster.


Mama says we gave the people who do this so much publicity they should have paid us to do it.]]> http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry070728-092218 Kathryn Waldron Sat, 28 Jul 2007 14:22:18 GMT http://www.waldronsinchina.com/comments.php?y=07&m=07&entry=entry070728-092218 http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry070721-034827
?????????????????????????????????


Ok, this one's correct. But I have yet to see it followed.



I am having a little trouble malking these out.


Too bad we don't own a car.]]> http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry070721-034827 Kathryn Waldron Sat, 21 Jul 2007 08:48:27 GMT http://www.waldronsinchina.com/comments.php?y=07&m=07&entry=entry070721-034827 http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry070707-030643

Time for some more medicine to help inflate her lungs.


CT scan anyone? Marianna described it as one of the worst things that had ever happened to her.


Waiting and waiting. Marianna was in the hospital for two weeks. :|


The nurses have a ball working on the "golden girl's" hair.

Thanks for everyone's prayers. It was a big comfort knowing we had support. Marianna got out of the hospital Thursday evening.]]> http://www.waldronsinchina.com/index.php?entry=entry070707-030643 Kathryn Waldron Sat, 07 Jul 2007 08:06:43 GMT http://www.waldronsinchina.com/comments.php?y=07&m=07&entry=entry070707-030643
