The Roman Bath house in Bath.
Donald and Katie with Sylvia - Donald's mum's friend.Hi there,
Well here we are here in Los Angeles! Oh it is so nice to be here with the Kaya Family. I don’t know if I told you before but I had said to Donald (in NZ) that I wanted to catch up with the Kaya Family and he gave me a really funny look. I then asked him if he didn’t want too and he told me we were staying with them.
Let me tell you a bit about the Kaya Family. There is Jon and Debbie – they are the parents. We knew them when we lived in LA when Donald was attending Seminary. They had Hannah and she now 15 years old. Now there is Jonathan (13years), David (11years), Joey (9 years) and they are also looking after their nephew Levi (8 years). Debbie home schools all the children and they attend Grace Community Church. They live in Simi Valley and it takes them 30 minutes on the freeway – depending on traffic! They all play soccer. Debbie used to play soccer when she was at Notre dam College.
At the moment Jonathan is making pancakes – they smell very good!
The kids are great and Katie has fitted in just fine with them all and has just become one of the clan! She is having a blast.
Today we are meeting with the Sheahan family. We stayed with the Sheahan’s when we first came to LA and stayed with them for about a month before we found our own place. Terah (their oldest daughter) has kept in contact with me over the years so it will be really nice to catch up with them. We will be meeting with Terah and Josi and their husbands and children and also Tom with his new wife.
We will be going to Disneyland at some point as well but are not sure when! Yesterday we went shopping – Donald bought some shorts for just over $3.00 and a t shirt for just over $1.00. Katie and I bought some Jeans and belts and Katie bought a hat and also some hair stuff. I also bought some boring stuff like sheets and table runners – stuff for the house.
The kids are all watching America’s funniest home videos and you should hear all the laughing – it is so nice to hear them all enjoying themselves. Jon has just come in and said that he and Debbie just love Katie’s laugh!!
Well back to the UK. We had a great time there and the history is just amazing. We got to see so many places and meet so many people. People we have stayed with have been so kind to us and have spoiled us. We were able go to England, Scotland and Wales – we didn’t get to go to Ireland. Katie says that Mr J will be disappointed that we didn’t get to see his homeland!
Well I need to go now and get ready for the day.
Talk to you all later.
