LOVE...is such a beautiful thing....

Over the past weekend, my family and I went to Maine with our dear friends Meghan and Jose...and when we get together..the Spanish just comes out of us...especially my husband...we even bought some children books in Spanish so tio Jose could read to Alexandrea...I had to take advantage of the beautiful weather and document the love between Jose and Meghan...they got married this past November in the Dominican Republic...and because I was 7 months pregnant...we could not attend...very sad...but we had a blast just walking around and taking pictures...thanks again guys...you are great...hope you enjoy the pictures...














Muchas gracias José y Meghan para compartir tu pasión con nosotros. Usted asombra a amigos y nosotros somos agradecidos de tenerle en nuestras vidas.

( hope my Spanish is correct)
