Valerie's Wedding!

Valerie and me
Somehow this special boy ended up being my son!
Fun!  Psst...Koren, this is one of the tops I got in Oregon.  I love thinking of you when I wear it.

What a personality my boy has!
Anneli loves Liam!  She climbed on the back of his motorcycle and wouldn't let go.
D and me

Last Friday, we headed down to LA to celebrate the marriage of Val (D's cousin) and Andy.  Our first stop was 3rd Street in Santa Monica.  The weather was perfect--a cool 74 degrees!  The boys and I watched the street performers, grabbed a Starbucks drink, did some shopping, and sat down for lunch at one of our favorite burger joints: Fat Burger.  Three miles south was our hotel!  We stayed at the Marriott in Marina Del Ray, and we're placed on the 9th floor with a view of the sailboats and a private beach facing the water.  We drove to Downtown LA for the rehearsal dinner at CPK, and then enjoyed an outdoor concert across the street.  The next morning was spent at the pool, getting ready, touring Venice beach, and heading to the wedding.  The wedding was WONDERFUL and the most special part was celebrating with family.  Thank you Jesus for family!  It is a gift from you!

How wonderful. The bride's dress is stunning. Is the little girl related or is she future marriage material? She is a cutie (and your boy looks so handsome).

Anneli is not blood-related, so you never know! She and Liam played and played together, and of course he was said to say goodbye.

Did you see D's shirt??? We got it with you guys, too.

Glad you had a great day and that you are having such a great summer.
