I’m excited to say that today I’m on my way to San Francisco to visit family and friends. My sister-in-law, Hai Nhu, just had a baby last week. Little Evelyn was born on August 23rd 2006 at 8:42AM weighing in at 8 pounds 5 ounces and measuring 20". She was a bit jaundiced for some reason, but a few extra days in the hospital cleared that up.

In addition to seeing the new addition to the family, I get to see my sister, Paula, who is also pregnant. She’s due in December.
As you can see from the picture, she’s settling into this pretty well! My other sister, Mary, also just moved to San Francisco about a week or two ago. So I’ll get to spend time with lots of family.

And, as if that were not enough, nephew Sebastian Alexander was born August 11th at 12:37 am, weighing 8lbs 2oz and measuring 21". Sebastian was born to my brother, Eric, and his wife Allison. Sadly, they are in Massachusetts and I won’t be able to make it out there this time.

It’s a short trip, only about 8 days. But it’ll be fun to see everyone. I haven’t seen these guys for over a year and I’m also missing San Francisco a bit. So forgive me if I don’t get much writing done over the next week.
