N: Two Bits

K and I celebrated my birthday on Monday.  We decided to go to a Japanese Sushi place that is near where we used to live last year.  It had been a good while since we had made a trip to the Old City (we now live in the New City, but they are both part of the same city) and it was fun to go to one of the places that our team enjoyed going to last year.  It was pretty chill and I made sure to order whatever I wanted, I mean, it was my day right?  Video games followed dinner at the arcade in the same area.  Another great birthday?  Check.

I also decided to shave.  I think it has been about a year since I have been clean  shaven.  Now, for those of you that knew me without ever having facial hair, not a big deal.  However, my students and most of my current teammates have only ever seen me with a beard.  I guess I was just checking to make sure I still had the appearance of a 12 year old when clean shaven. 

K is continuing to incubate my child. :) She is doing a great job but still gets occasional sickness at any hour of the day.  We are thinking that we will be taking a trip to Beijing in the next month or so to visit a western style hospital and find out the gender.  That will be pretty exciting.  In the picture, K is sportin' clothes that our Colorado fellowship was able to pass along to us.  She loves them. 

Dad continues to call Lonestar Pie Baby Hadassah.  I see his vote for the name.  I've never heard of a Hadassah pie though.
