Hey, wanna see the lovely photos I took when we went to Florida this past February?
Yes, February. I know, I’m a few months behind in uploading my photos and sharing them with y’all. I’m working on it!
Florida provides us the geographically-best vantage point from which to visit most of our family while we’re in The States. I wish it was New York, but it’s Florida. I certainly can’t complain about the winter weather, though. And staying at the homes of my mom, dad, and grandmother is always a treat.
The highlight of our trip (and the very reason for going) was my sister Amanda’s wedding. What a fantastic event! Not only did we get to share in the joy of seeing my little sister get married to a heckuva guy alongside our wonderful family, but the wedding itself was… one of a kind. I’ve gotta admit that, when I heard that they would be getting married in a field… in the middle of nowhere… with pigs and horses… and that some guests would be arriving by ATV… while everyone sat on bales of hay… ending with a huge bonfire… I was a bit skeptical. We’re city folk! But Amanda and Mark’s wedding was one of the most beautiful and personal weddings I have ever had the pleasure of attending. I was even presented with the honor of presiding over the actual wedding ceremony. That was a delightful first for me.
So, anyway… Florida. February. Family. Pools. Sebastian’s first birthday. Wedding. Bales of hay. Just click on the following link and be whisked away:

Thank you so much for your kind words. We loved having you there! After seeing Sebastian’s mastery of the soccerball around the bonfire, three of our friends have enrolled their school-age kids in local leagues.
