A New Year

Just a few more pictures to share as we turn the corner into 2008... First, Heuris and his first American stocking experience:

We didn't have any socks big enough to fit all the loot in, so instead Santa used our shoes. Evidently Santa shops at Trader Joe's as we both received a hefty amount of TJ's chocolate. Smart Santa.

Next, a photo taken at the end of December in front of our mango tree, after I hit 30 weeks:








Hard to believe we've got less than 8 weeks left to go until our scheduled date-of-arrival. Everyone here says the belly still looks chiquita (small), but it certainly doesn't feel that way. It feels like a small truck with feet in my middle.

Weather remains about 85 degrees every day, but at night there is sometimes a breeze and if we keep the window open, we don't have to sleep with the fan directly on us. Such is the "cool" of Dominican winter.
