*EDITED* i collected the photos below and constructed this post yesterday evening, long before the news about death of osama bin laden had broken. this morning, i am choosing to go ahead with publishing this post, sharing what a fantastic weekend i had with my family, enjoying the company of friends, both new and old, seeing the smiles, hearing the laughs… in the hopes that it brings comfort on a day when i find myself conflicted. wishing you all a peaceful day.

we spent saturday afternoon at the USNA vs. St. John’s College croquet match. this event included much lounging, lunching, and lingering with friends and strangers. my favorite part though… was the people watching… experiencing life and fun and joy.
