Little Joe



We landed in Houston, and got to spend a couple days there visiting with family and friends. BIG THANK YOU to Jer for picking us up at the airport! It was nice to get to see Mila and the kids (they're getting so big) and be able to visit with little Joe, Ambie, and Jude!  Little Joe had a great time getting to play with his little cuz, Connor (also just 1), Uncle Jason, Auntie Lori, and Auntie Rosie. We took about a million pictures of all the fun, so instead of posting the "top 20", just made a slide-show. ENJOY!!

Sonia and Jamie's Wedding

We were happily able to attend the union of Joe's good friend, Sonia, with long-time novio, Jamie. Though just "la firma" part of the ceremony, there was nothing mundane about this gathering; elegant and extravagant, is more what comes to mind. Starting with entree's and pisco sours, guests enjoyed the live entertainment from Marinera dancers and caballo's del paso (dancing horses). After the speeches, ceremony, and toasts, we were all surprised with the bride's personal performance of the traditional Trullian dance, Marinera, and went on to feast on some of Peru's best dishes-THANK YOU Aunt Mary and crew! The servers started making whisky rounds, and then, it was all madness! It's fun watching EVERYONE pile onto the dance floor, tables shift, friends catch up and make some new ones, before finally calling it a night. Felicitaciones Sonia and Jamie!
