May is the Time For Guests and More Guests

We had no idea that May would be such a great month for coming to Beijing.

On Tuesday night we had dinner with some of Michael's relatives who are in town for about a week. We met his uncle Steve, aunt Nancy, their daughter Katie and her friend Amanda at a lovely private restaurant. They had just arrived in Beijing the day before and were great sports about staying out for dinner so we could spend time visiting.

And then as another great surprise we found out that two of my relatives, a brother and sister, were in town too. Jonathon is teaching down in Xian but came up to Beijing to see his sister Brianne who is taking a class in town. We were able to have dinner with them and Jonathon's friend Kelly tonight. We all came back to our apartment afterwards to talk and hang out and take the picture on the left.

Though she hasn't said anything, we know that Laura is secretly really impressed that we have brought so many family members in just to meet her.
