Merry Christmas from Roatan!

We're celebrating Christmas and New Year's from Roatan, Honduras this year.

We've made it to the island and have discovered that our rented house is about 20 meters from a dolphin sanctuary. Free dolphin shows all day! Snorkeling from our pier and lovely sunsets. Great company too... (as well as free high speed internet!)

I'll try to post a couple of pictures during quiet moments at night...but if there are few of those, let us say Merry Christmas to everyone now!

Thanksgiving 2007

We spent Thanksgiving this year with our friends Allen & Courtney & Wiley and Jen & Jim & Emma & Abbie. We went out to a beautiful spot called Semuc Champey, which many of you have heard of us talk about before. We stayed in a small town called Lanquin about 40 minutes away from Semuc.

Max Transformers

Trying to get caught up with photos before the Holidays start. So to start things off here is a drawing from Max.

He is just at the beginnings of reading, but he has the idea....and he has figured out that Spanish is a lot easier to spell in than English! This is, of course, his interpretation of the Transformers.

Otherwise things are great. Zoe is at a very wonderful stage now and Max is enjoying school. Kim and I are busy with work, but otherwise good.

More pictures soon from Thanksgiving soon.
