Brooke and Josh get hitched

We had the great pleasure of attending the wedding of our friends Brooke and Josh in California last weekend. Everything about the weekend was exquisite, especially the bride, as you can see!

Can't you just feel her dad bursting with pride at this moment? The ceremony was at Costanoa resort, about 20 miles north of Santa Cruz, close to where both the bride and groom grew up. The rooms were super comfortable, the food was delicious, the scenery was breathtaking and there was lots of fun stuff for kids.

 Love this picture of Josh - he could barely contain his excitement!

Husband and wife!

Family photo attempt. We interrupted Seamus' cracker - never a good idea if the objective is to get a smile. 

Enjoying a peach on the beach

Our friend Ben lives in Palo Alto, and he came over with his cutie pie daughter to spend part of Sunday with us. It was Seamus' first time meeting Angelina (who actually goes by her Chinese name "wy wy," which I have no idea how to spell - forvive me Ben) and I think he was pretty smitten. This photo also features Henry performing one of his daredevil stunts.

Perhaps inspired by Henry, Seamus attempts to scale the treacherous sand cliff.

What a doll!

Seamus was not lacking for companionship. Here he is enjoying the porch swing with Francie and Henry, the Reuland kids, right before our hike to the beach.

I had to include this shot of Seamus on the airplane home. This is the calm after the storm. The storm involved hysterical crying and launching a cheese stick into the rows behind us. I hope that the lucky recipient of the cheese was able to enjoy it. I know that when cheese lands on me, I usually eat it.
