What's Not to Love About Valentine's Weekend?

Great friends, tasty food and wine, lots of laughter and fun, all down on the beach... Our weekend was just what the doctor ordered!

Michael, me, Pam, Steve, Emily, Moody, Carey & Drew

Playing pool at the "Love Nest"



I love these ladies -- Pam, Em & Carey!

Drew, Moody, Michael & Steve -- our four handsome dates

Moody & Emily, our Texas brother & sister

Zoe & Kingston hitting the road
(More than a little match-making was brokered this weekend!)

Ray Ray & Caden making tracks

Ray Ray, Evangeline & Zozo



Zoe's a baby sister now!!!
Drew & Carey head to Addis Ababa to meet big sister, Tigist, in just a few days!



HUGE thanks to Steve & Pam for planning, hosting, and truly blessing us! Steve, thank you for cooking all the delicious food! It was a weekend to remember!

(Pam, if you're serious about hijacking me to see Sid for a tattoo, you'd better be prepared to pony up your own skin for some new art, too!)

What a truly magnificent Valentines day! I couldn't imagine anyone we'd rather spend the time with. We had such a wonderful time with all of you, and we're that much more excited to bring Tigist home knowing the great new friends she's about to make. How cute were all the kids? A great weekend all around... great food, great wine, great company. Can't wait to do it again!

I love your nuts, Lor! Shoot, I wish it had occurred to me! That would have been hysterical to play "Vince"! Next time... I'll bring my headset.
