Remembering Richmond

Nicole and I had a special date yesterday where we went around Richmond, Virginia and remembered our engagement.  Nicole lived in Richmond when we met and that is where we fell in love and got married so we took an afternoon to visit some special places.

Here is the rooftop of her condo where I proposed:

The ring I gave her:

Nicole is seated at one of our favorite restaurants, Comfort.

We Miss Laos

Back Home!

We are so happy to be back home with family and friends, but we really miss Laos.  I think about our friends in Laos everyday and I miss speaking Lao.  We are living in Mulberry, Florida but we are still very involved in Georgia.  Here are a few recent pictures of the girls:

Hannah and Sydney playing in the pine straw in GA.

Mother's Day '11

This year for Mother's Day Sam took me along with some of our friends to the Elephant Village and Hannah and I got to ride an elephant!  It was amazing.  Even though we've lived in Laos for 3 years, I'd never been to this place or ridden an elephant before.  It was a beautiful 1-hour ride through the jungle, into the Nam Khan river, and up through a village.  Hannah loved it and had a great time as well.  After we swam in the beautiful pool that overlooked the river and the mountains.  Thanks Sam for such a wonderful Mother's Day treat!
