Here's the final pregnancy picture! Next will be baby postings, yeah!

a day at the beach

We spent Sat. out at a beach in Sai Kung. What beautiful weather and the water was great. A whole bunch of teachers went, both returners and some new, a great day to be together.

Bryan the star football player :o)
A very pregnant Emily enjoying the beach.
Great dinner afterwards with some of the group.

overnight to macau

Sat. afternoon we headed to Macau for a quick overnight. Probably will be the last get-a-way as the two of us (at least for awhile). We didn't stay at the venetian, but did go there to see the Cirque Du Soleil show Zaia. It was amazing! The acrobatics and arial part were incredible!!!!

On the bus heading to our hotel, Macau in the background.

summer fun in Iowa!

Lots of game playing!

Bryan was able to share his new talent of the year: solving a Rubics Cube, with his neice Molly.
Fun afternoons in the pool. It was wild in there :o)

We spent an afternoon at the zoo with the nephews. It was really fun. Lots of neat animals and an elephant show with elephants on loan from CA :o)

On the fourth the neightborhood here had a fun kids parade and the adults on the side threw candy at the kids. Slightly reversed from usual, but the kids had a blast!
