\"\"<\/a>Did you miss us? Feel lost without entertaining new posts to read?<\/p>\n

The muppets and I spent the past weekend in Carmel for my girlfriend\u2019s wedding. Maureen is one of the \u201clovelies,\u201d so we had a reunion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Naturally, Maureen was off pampering herself and preparing for a life of wedding bliss. So in a house overlooking Highway 1 with a view of Carmel-by-the-Sea, the muppets and I bunked with Becca (with her husband, Bryan, and daughter, Leila), Ivy (and her beau, Dave), Julia (our little Hawaiian), and Nicki.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The munchkins weren\u2019t going to attend the nuptials, so I bribed Uncle Paul and Aunt Steph to enjoy an expense paid weekend at the beach (because they don\u2019t get enough of that at home<\/a>). Oh, and they were going to babysit all three kids while the rest of us celebrated a decade\u2019s worth of friendship, happiness and love.<\/p>\n

There wedding has nothing on that shindig over in England. More to come…<\/p>\n
