Here are a few belly shots of me (I'm 24 weeks along right now), some random photos of Emmerson, pictures of our New Year's Kickoff Faculty Dinner last weekend, and some shots of Emmerson at her first day of school. *Please note: we are ONLY enrolling her in school so she doesn't hang around the apartment all day with the nanny. She needs to socialize with other kids. We promise we're not trying to get a head start with the Ivy Leagues.

Christmas 2006

Happy New Year! It has been a long time since I posted, so it's about time. These are pictures from Christmas, including our fantastic Christmas vacation to Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Ian, Emmerson and I first spent a few days in Singapore, then we met my mom and brother in Bangkok. While in Bangkok, we went on a riverboat tour, visited the Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha, shopped at the huge and crazy Chatuchak market, and toured Jim Thompson's house. After that we flew to Hanoi, Vietnam and visited Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum (you actually see him under glass-- as I mention below, creepy but cool), the "Hanoi Hilton" where John McCain was held prisoner (you can see his flight suit on display!), and Halong Bay. It was a great holiday and so much fun to be together!
