Reconnecting

When living here in Virginia Beach the first time, Jeff and I were able to meet some really great friends. Now that we're back, many have moved on to different duty stations. Our good friends, Maritza and Bryan were friends we met the first time around and are now stationed outside New Orleans. Over the years we have stayed in touch and watched their family grow.

Maritza is originally from Virginia Beach and decided to come home this summer with her kids. We were really excited for the opportunity to reconnect and get all the kids together for a visit. On June 16th Maritza brought her gang over to meet the girls. It was really great to meet Elena and see first hand how big (and busy) Nate is. We had a wonderful play date. The kids kept busy with crafts and played outside in the pool while Maritza and I caught up. Lily was so excited to play with Nate and actually rivaled his energy level.
Thanks for coming over to visit Maritza, Ellie and Nate...it felt like no time had passed!! We hope to enjoy a few more visits before you head back south. (And Bryan....Ellie looks JUST LIKE YOU!!)
