more of the trip...

Sunrise, sunset. The view from our balcony.

Nick and I killed some time playing with his super reflective glasses. woo hoo.
(I think my picture is better... despite the smudge marks).

Whispering sweet nothings in Amber's ear. I don't know if she liked it.

The plants in Jamaica remind me of home...

I just like this picture.

and this one.

Montego Bay

We are back from Jamaica and it was fabulous. The weather was great, the food was great, the people were great... what more can you ask for? Here are some pictures of what we did!
Amber's first time in a pool and the ocean!

The resort had a snack shop where you could get soft ice cream, chips, soda and popcorn. Needless to say, I was there often. Here I am angrily enjoying some chips.

Buying souvenirs from a little oceanside stand.

We went paddle boating and then Amber threw up. (I'm looking disapprovingly at it).


We also went on a glass bottom boat and kayaking... so many water activities!
Okay, more pictures and captions to follow later!

4 months

So it's been about 4 months since I last wrote in my blog. I guess that is what happens when you have a little baby. (and when you don't sit at a front desk for 8 hours a day). Amber was born on January 20th and she is pretty much the best baby ever. We fill our days with eating, sleeping, watching tv and running errands. Having a baby around makes mundane everyday things much more fun. This blog will probably be consumed with what new things she is doing. Here are some recent pics of her.

well, this is just her foot. but who can resist little baby feet?

amber strongly dislikes pacifiers, but on this rare occasion she took one. (and yes she lives in her bouncy chair).

here we are taking in the magnificent cherry blossoms.

and here is amber excelling at tummy time. more exciting amber news to follow.
we leave for jamaica in 7 days, so i'm sure some fabulous photos will also follow.
