goofing off - still in CA

now THIS is what i call an action shot:
mike and i attempted this next pose outside the getty museum. he's obviously much better than i am, but we're both missing the boobs.

more pics from our trip(s) soon to be uploaded to picasa web...

salmonella's wedding

say "sam and ellen" ten times fast and you start getting "salmonella", according to best man and little bro stephen wu. =) we were also in southern california for this wedding - more fun with old friends...congrats guys!!!
apparently jocie has no shame. this pic will be infamous during her own wedding slideshow in 20+ years. way to go lees!!

i love this pic - lots of man love.

celebrations

we spent the first half of our vacation in southern california...i think we've been here three times in the last two years!! just can't get enough of good food, family, and friends...

there's always a reason to celebrate, isn't there? this time we congratulated sarah's cousin elaine on her engagement to xuong - they're getting married in hawaii, of course. and we got to surprise sarah's uncle on his 60th birthday. if you were at our wedding you might remember these special people...

bun in the oven!!

ok, so these are very late pics...but seeing as we will be seeing some of you very soon, i've decided to post these of sarah from 2 weeks ago. we got this idea from some pics online and decided to jointly make a costume from scratch - and a cheap one, too!! if you look closely, those are the dials from our stovetop and the handle from one of our drawers.

we're flying to southern california tomorrow and we'll be in houston next week for thanksgiving. see you soon!!
