Fine Wine & Good Company

Pat & Elena had a wine tasting party this weekend. It was a blast not only because a great group of their friends came, but also the 8 of us all were there. And the 8 of us closed down the party. The party ain't over until the last Gabriel goes home and the bottles of wine are dry. After midnight we were all still partying...boys on one side of the yard and the girls on the swing set. fun times!!



I was trying to take a candid shot of these three but they kept horsing around. Anne, thought it was funny :)

The Original 8.  Elena has a better photo (hint hint Elena please post your better group photos)

Sunday Dinner at the 'Rents







St. Michaels

Tim and I spent the weekend, sans children, in St. Michaels MD. We had a wonderful time and love Monica to bits for watching the Troublesome Twosome while we were away.




We canoed, we walked, we biked, we ate crabs, we drank beer, we talked, and we rested.
