Preparing for Thailand

We got our new Digital SLR in the mail Monday and we've been going wild with it. I think the pictures are much improved from our old camera. It's nice to be able to catch Jack in motion. He moves so quickly these days that half of the pictures with our old camera are out of focus. Here's a good example of what the new camera can do.



Jack's latest trick is sitting up all by himself.





This is our new baby carrier. We love it and highly recommend it. This thing is so much better than our Baby Bjorn. If you have a kid, buy one of these, "The Ergo", and pass on the Baby Bjorn. This thing is so much more comfortable and can hold a child up to around 35 lbs. It's a good thing it's comfortable because we're going to be carting Jack all over Thailand in this thing.

We're getting very excited for our trip. This is our itinerary to date.

We'll try and post some pictures from Thailand while we are there. We sure hope Jack handles this well. The time zone is 11 hours difference from ours. I'm sure having him with us will slow us down a bit, but it will be worth it just to have him with us.
