wynn2minn - China Adoption Journey: Braces!
http://wynn2minn.blogspot.com/2014/12/braces.html
Wynn2minn - China Adoption Journey. We've gone to China to pick up our daughter! Now the adventure continues in Minnesota - and beyond! Friday, December 5, 2014. We had the 6-month followup for Wynn's upper-jaw graft today, and everything there looks ideal. For her teeth, we took the next step today and started braces on her two front teeth. These braces work with the tension from her retainer and will re-orient those teeth into their correct angles. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wynn2minn - China Adoption Journey. We've gone to China to pick up our daughter! Now the adventure continues in Minnesota - and beyond! Sunday, December 28, 2014. Wynn got her first pair of snowshoes for Christmas . but we had no snow on the ground then! Finally, yesterday overnight we got a nice 4" coating - enough to give the shoes a try. Shadow wanted to help:. Having clear skies ought to be good for playing outside, but when sunset is at 4:30 pm, there's little time to romp around.

Family travel tips and cultural insights for China and all East Asia. Transpacific Pioneers: Continental - Air Micronesia to Tokyo, 1978. While Pan Am got the credit for developing the "island hopper" route between Hawaii and Asia with flying boats prior to WWII, the route they built did not really serve the people of the central Pacific as it was too far north of the islands that would come to be known as Micronesia. The story has been told in many places. Excerpts of the January 15, 1978 timetable for ...

Family travel tips and cultural insights for China and all East Asia. Lovely holiday lights in Tokyo. Asian cities really "get it" when it comes to nighttime lighting, and when the winter holidays come around, there's nowhere I'd rather walk around. Also, this is Tokyo in December 2013 and there's no snow on the ground (unlike my home of Minneapolis.). Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Family travel tips and cultural insights for China and all East Asia. Transpacific Pioneers: Braniff in 1979. Far too far ahead of its time, woefully under-supported by the company's route planning, and cursed by starting just as the oil shocks began, Braniff's ill-fated Transpacific expansion was nevertheless stunning and visionary. The US. Government did not oblige, despite considerable business and political lobbying. The big unexamined assumption of route planning at the dawn of Deregulation was that...

Family travel tips and cultural insights for China and all East Asia. Dragon Festival in St. Paul, Minnesota. Dragonboat races aren't just for China and the coastal cities: for 12 years the Dragon Festival. The racing is really a chance to get friends and family together for a day at the lake.

Family travel tips and cultural insights for China and all East Asia. Transpacific Pioneers: Philippine Airlines, November 1971. The Philippines were amazingly quick to get into the sky after WWII, thanks to quick re-establishment of eager family businesses, ample supply of surplus Allied transport aircraft, and ready technical assistance from TWA. A dense national network and links to China sprang up in late 1945 and all of 1946. PAL needed until June 1962 to get DC-8 equipment and the ability to re-ope...

Family travel tips and cultural insights for China and all East Asia. Cherry Blossom time in Tokyo! This videographer's work is always top-quality; I love how he takes you through the neighborhoods just as you would as a tourist. Links to this post. Cherry-blossom viewing in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Here in Minnesota we are still knee-deep in snow, with the real start of Spring still weeks away. Videos like this give me hope that warm weather and the return of life to our northern tundra will actually happen!
