Our first Valentine's Day date at a hipster wine bar.

One of our early dates to an apple orchard and pumpkin patch.

The first very casual picture taken of us together by Janessa's old roommate, Laura, soon after we started dating.

Janessa facing their fears on a city hike by the Jones Falls. No one fell and no one died!

Our six-month anniversary trip to the Maryland Zoo.

One of the many, many theater shows we've attended in NYC and elsewhere. (This happened to be in New Jersey.)

Us meeting a (real!) penguin at an event for Chris' old job.

Our last day out before the endless pandemic - a date at Build a Bear.

Cheesy photo while hiking at Patapsco State Park.

Catching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean on our first vacation to Assateague Island, now a yearly tradition.

Taking our baby Appa on one of his very first hikes.

Our first family Halloween costume!

Christmas 2021 in matching pajamas (yes, Appa too!).
