sunday dinner

i had dinner with jackie, her husband rob, and former & one current ips crew as well as significant others and one offspring. this dinner was to bid dear farewell to netty, who has, after being here for about ten years, finished his academic career including his BA, MA, and PhD, at stanford. it's hard to believe that he's leaving us! he's going back to thailand to one day, become prime minister. that means, he's our thailand hook up! ;)

spiro and may's little girl cena is the cutest! she's so friendly and smiley. she went around the room giving everyone hugs. she's got rolls everywhere! and looks just like may, minus the rolls. and may looks great for having given birth.

clockwise from the top: may & spiro, netty & neil, me, connie, mee & little cena, jackie & rob

i finally met netty's so, neil, who has met my so, ted. netty & neil went to one of the gigs in phoenix last weekend. they really liked the band, breakfast in tokyo. so now, netty is the only one out of the group to have met ted. at least, he can vouch for me that i'm not making ted up out of thin air!
