More New Mexico

On Friday we went to James' home town, Los Alamos and spent the day there.

We had a mini picnic by Ashley Pond:





Sasha fed the ducks and, as always, befriended strangers:



We had dinner at James' grandmother Carol's house. This is his Aunt Lisa and her husband Nick:

After dinner, we went to watch the 4th of July fireworks:









We invited our friends to my sister, Lisa's house on Saturday:

New Mexico!

We're so happy to be back in New Mexico. This is a very special place for both James and I. It's where James grew up, my second home, where we met, where we started our lives together, where Sasha was born, and it's just full of beautiful memories.
We're so happy to see Pat and Patti again! Here are a few pics of the last 24 hours:

Before we left:




On or way over:





Finally here! We were greeted by our wonderful parents and a beautiful New Mexico sunset:









James' brother Cory and his girlfriend Shannon:
