now that's what we call an intelligent expression...

another great binkie tan line picture. that's her thinking face

one of Emmy's favorite things- her toes!



she is thinking about army crawling... she pivots around and around and moves forward just a little--it seems like a lot of energy but she is determined!


oh to be Emmy...

(YOU WILL NEED TO CLICK ON THESE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE THING) She is so cute!!- check out her little bug bites though :(
this should be a Coca Cola ad

Emmy has a binkie tan line!!! it's much worse in real life- ha!


I want to be Emmy- she has a pretty sweet life.





Happy Mother's Day to Liz! Jason picked me these flowers himself- I love him.


Scenes from Dominica

this is a beautiful beach that Emmy and I go to almost every day :)
there is a reef just to the right of this dock (well it was a dock before the last hurricane)




our newest animal discovery-- we've seen really green ones and ones that are darker like this he was HUGE and pretty fast.




this is a fisherman on Indian River (where Capt. Jack Sparrow sails up to see the crazy witch lady)

To the Carribe Indian Reserve

The Carribe Indians are a mixture between South American and Asian characterisitics. This guy is stirring ground root in a huge heated cauldron making what will eventually be Malt o Meal.


This is a view from the entrance to the Carribe reserve.




This is where a large river outlets into the ocean. It was here that Jack Sparrow took his small boats upstream to see the witch doctor lady.



A white sand beach on the way to the Carribe reserve.




Trip to #1 beach

#1 beach is where they filmed the scene in Pirates 2 where the cannibals were chasing Jack Sparrow accross the beach to the Black pearl. It's a 15 min hike from the road through rainforest.


It was raining on and off (it's always raining on and off) so we improvised...


This is the beach. I'm standing right about where the Black Pearl was beached.






Emmy and The Market

Emmy's new hairdoo. We've decided to utilize the tufts of hair on the side of her face.




Turns out, when Emmy's hair is combed forward, she looks like a little boy... We call her Thomas...


This is the Farmer's market in town every Saturday morning. As you can see, it was pouring adding to my already crappy mood from waking up early... If you look the other way, there was a full rainbow over the Carribean sea landing on a pirate ship. Unfortunately, Liz decided that i was a prettier picture...



Campus

We found this big fella in one of the gutters on campus.

The main entrance to campus

There are little holes all over the place here... homes to these little land crabs.


A random class room at Ross... they all look the same.



At the Beach

This is PBR. Porstmouth Beach Resort. It's right next to campus. This is were the cast of "Pirates" stayed when they were on the island.

I was supposed to be hidden so you can see Emmy standing by herself...

This dock was wiped out by a hurricane last year. Great place to snorkel.


This is black sand.



This is Emmy on black sand.

Make sure to see all the new pics, I added alot!!!

Emmy's back!

Emmy learned out to eat rice cereal... Well, it's a work in progress.

Through her mouth, through her nose, it all gets to the same place...

At the airport! You can tell from her expression, she really missed me!


Dominica's cutest new arrival!



To the airport/ Pirate's filming areas

This is Dominica's major airport... all of it.


This is a beach scene from Pirate's 2.


This is the old aiport/ new airport extension.


Remember in Pirate's 2, when the crew of the Black Pearl is trapped in that hamster ball and running (rolling) from the natives? This is where the ball rolled down the hill (the road was editied out)



This is the place where the fish guys from the Flying Dutchmen were fighting Elizabeth and the other two guys for Davey Jone's chest.




Emmy's photo shoot

Still professional even after a long day's hike.

We call this one "The Virgin Emmy"

She needs a lunch break, posing makes her hungry.


But she's right back on her game after a well earned desert.



Precious moments at Ft Shirley
