Our cute boy

Here's a photo we had taken of Gabey the other day. It's not one we chose to get prints of, but still cute. This represents one thing I love about Thailand. Not only was the photo sitting extremely cheap, but they aren't at all concerned about photo copyrights and burned me a CD of the whole sitting so that I'm now free to share the bad pics along with the good (not that this is a bad pic).

In other Wolthuis family news, there's not much to report. We are sweating through a week-end of Christmas parties. This is a 3-day week-end and the most popular one for Christmas parties. School is out this week, so people usually feel they need to squeeze the parties all in before people go off for Christmas holidays. All in all, we have 5 parties this week-end, so we'd be eating ourselves silly except that I got food poisoning this week-end. Oh well, it's probably for the best.

The temperature still hasn't dropped much and the humidity is still high so it looks like we're in for a short winter. Maybe 10 days or 2 weeks. It wouldn't bother me so much except that with such weather the mosquitoes won't go away. Last year we had one heavenly month where I could confidently sit in the living room with bare feet knowing that I wouldn't be bitten all over my toes. As I sit here, I'm swatting them with our electrocution tennis racket and unbelievably, one has managed to bite me on the toughest part of my foot. But I guess I still prefer it to the cold, though I wouldn't mind a little cold to spend some time with all of you.
