Leo and Cassy at the rehersal dinner
Rafael and Esperanza were so shocked to see such a big piece of cake. In colombia, they rarely eat dessert and if they do, it is a very small serving. They want me to send this picture to their daughter, they didn't think she would believe them. Ha ha.

Speak you mind

Humming cicadas, spring sprouts and ritzy Richmond

they are everywhere

cicada carcasses-- they are out in full force-- covering many trees and littering the sidewalks with their dead bodies and abandoned shells

Down by the river-- this park is so cool-- we had to wade out to the rocks through the freezing water-- but it was worth it!
