New Cousins

We're all so excited for Uncle Kenny!  Kenny has found his other half, and will be marrying the sweet Suzie next month!  We were able to spend a little bit of time with the love-struck couple while we were in Utah in June, but to our delight, they came to see us just last week here in California!

Did I mention that Suzie has two adorable little boys?  Braxton is just four month older than Claire, making him 3, and Taven is 15 months old.  We never thought Claire and Sophie would have cousins on the Call side that were their age, but Kenny came through!  Thanks, Uncle Kenny!

Their visit began with meeting Danny on base for a quick plane-side tour of the F-16.  Cool, huh?  After that, everyone came home to our house for a few minutes, so Danny could drop off his work stuff and so that Kenny, Suzie, and the boys could see the house.  By this time it was getting on to late evening, and we were all starving, so we headed to Rubio's!

We enjoyed visiting and wrestling the kids between wonderfully tasty bites of burritos and shrimp tacos.  The kids even enjoyed their taquitos!

Mostly, the kids liked playing together!  We had to top off dinner with a trip to Berry Star.  Everyone enjoyed some frozen yogurt...especially the kids who got their own bowl!  But alas, the evening came to an end and we had to say goodbye.  Those of us with any comprehension of time knew we'd be seeing each other in just a few short weeks for the wedding.  But Claire thought it may as well be forever until she sees Braxton again! She cried quietly to herself the whole way home, and then succumbed to the depths of despair...

Claire and Sophie LOVE family!  It's hard to live so far away sometimes, but we're glad that we all understand the importance of family and take the time to visit despite the distance.  Can't wait for the wedding!
