One Year of Married Life

It is hard to believe that it was a year ago that we were married on the beautiful, serene island of Mayne and today we are half way around the world, living in the developing city of Dubai.

Jeff made us dinner reservations at Pierchic. We enjoyed an incredible evening with great food and the best views of the Burj, the hotels at the Madinat, as well as the emerging Palm Jumeirah.

Unobstructed views of the Burj Al Arab. Impressive!

Chocolate mousse cake - compliments of Pierchic. So good.

Summer Golf has Arrived!

With temperatures averaging 38 degrees with uncomfortable humidity, most people have gone home to escape Dubai's summer. For us, it makes for the perfect time to get back into golf. With tee times readily available and green fees more reasonable, we headed out to Arabian Ranches Golf Club for our first summer round.

The most difficult thing was finding a pair of pants that would accomodate my growing belly.

Baby Bump - Week 22

We are just over the half way point and doing well.

Last week, we went in for our detailed organ scan, where most expectant parents walk away with some of the clearest images of their baby, prior to arrival. Not us - Peanut decided to turn towards my back at the first sign of the camera, so while we were able to confirm all is well, no pictures this time. He/she needs to spend more time with the Iwasaki clan.


Feeling big.

At Hayya, ecstatic to be getting my photo taken in a bathing suit.
