We met in Seattle in 2016 when a mutual friend introduced us.

Spending Christmas in San Francisco

Look closely, Rafi is actually in this picture

Some science museum fun in San Francisco

We miss our ski trips in the winter when we lived in Seattle

We used to go to Hawaii to escape the 6-month long winter

Lucian shares his Dad's good looks, smart brain, and fashion taste

Lucian also loves having philosophical discussions since a young age, while Rafi's interests are elsewhere

Since moving to Southern California, we visited the Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City during a brief moment of relaxation on that trip - we both got very sick later ...

We go to the concert in LA sometimes

Now we ski in Canada in the winter, usually in Whistler

We shared a kiss at the Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo

Vespa used to be the only dog in the house.

Then Panko was born

We picked up Panko from Northern California when he was 9 week old!

Vespa was happy to have a younger brother who was (at that time) smaller than her ...

Vespa and Panko became besties right after Panko came home ... OK, maybe not right away ...

Like Mi, Panko also loves giving Lars kisses

Panko and Vespa make Mi feel like she is really popular

Lars' work brought us to South America - we traveled through Argentina, Chile and Brazil over 2 trips

Lars met Mi's family and loved visiting China

Lars became a Chinese noodle eating champion

Lars became a Chinese chess master under the tutelage of Mi's dad, who was a child prodigy of Chinese chess

Panko eventually grew up to be about 3X the size of Vespa, to her surprise ...

On some days, Panko and Vespa look like they have had enough of each other

Vespa still gest plenty of hugs from Lars

and Mi

and Rafi

Panko grew quite big given his Bernese Mountain Dog heritage, but he thinks he is a lap dog and insist on being treated as such, so he gets plenty of hugs too

Vespa continues to pose for pictures, now in 80s glamour style.

Lars' family visiting us from Norway, our 7-seat car is full with humans and dogs for the first time!

Lars' work brings us to Europe, including Romania where we are both visiting for the first time

We can't wait to see you at our wedding!
