California Visitors

Our best friends from Bakersfield came into town last week for a five day visit. The last time the kids saw each other was the night before we left back at the beginning of December. Taylor was a little over a year and half, so Ray was a little worried she wouldn't remember them. Thankfully, we skype and the kids love looking pictures of their friends, so there was no way that they would forget each other.

We made sure to take them to all of our favorite restaurants. With the Texas heat wave going on, we limited as much outdoor activity as possible, not to mention that Marissa sprained her foot in two places the week before they arrived.

Besides good conversations with friends and watching the kids play well together, our favorite part of their visit was watching Taylor & Luke together. Luke calls Taylor his wife and Taylor calls Luke her husband. They hold hands whenever they are walking somewhere together, sit by each other any chance they get and he even pulled out her chair for her at dinner one night.

We went to Pappasito's for lunch and the waiter brought Tortilla dough for the kids to play with while waiting for our food. Best idea ever!
