Our California Peeps from Florida

When we lived in California one of PK's friends from Chaplain School, Jay, was stationed in San Diego.  We had several opportunities to visit Jay and get to know his wife, Lin.  When we all lived in California they had a son, Nathan, who is about a year older than Rachel and a daughter, Maggie, who is the same age as Rachel.  Since then they have added three additional children: Noah, Lily and Nico.  PK has had a chance to see Jay and his family a few times since we left California over eight years ago.  Jay spent the night at our house right before we left Georgia on his way to Kenya, but I hadn't had a chance to see Lin or the kids.  They are now stationed in Florida.

PK received a text from Jay last night saying they were in the area trying to catch a MAC flight to California and wanted to know if we would be able to get together.  They were happy to accept our invitation to dinner at our house.

It was so nice to catch up with Jay and Lin and to meet the three younger kids.  All of our kids talked as if they had been friends their entire lives.  Their kids were so well behaved.  I tried to get Nico to stay with us while his family went to California, but he was having no part of that.
