Vocal Cords


Here's what I spend hours a day looking at! Those two little white parts are the vocal cords. And the black space underneath is the trachea (breathing tube). This is looking down from the top.

Cruisin'

hi family!

We got back from our cruise last night (thanks sheri and david for picking us up). We had a great time. It was so much fun. We spent a lot of time on the sundeck and pool/hottub. Until Ben got burned the second day, all over his arms and legs. I made sure to put sunscreen on his face and shoulders, so they were fine, but his legs and arms got neglected, and they FRIED. Poor baby, he was SO burned. I felt really bad for him. So we didn't spend much time in the sun for the rest of the cruise. We watched drunk people sing karaoke... pretty funny. We spent a lot of time dining (amazing food).... and all you can eat! We also enjoyed the live music, comedian, activities such as dance lessons, the gym, health classes, ping pong tournament, etc. It was a blast. We were sad that we didn't get to stop in Ensenada, mexico. I would have loved to walk around the little markets. But I totally understand they wanted to be aware that no one got sick. It an excuse to go again... since we didn't touch mexican soil :) It was an awesome trip, and such a nice break from school and work. Im already planning our next one! Just kidding.... but I am thinking about it! :) I hope you're all doing well. Happy birthday mom and Jana! I will talk to you both tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I love you! xxxx -Lara
