Holiday in Sacramento, California!

We touched down at San Francisco International at 7:40 pm on Thursday the 8th, waited for Sarah's flight to land at 8:24 (she was on a different flight because she is not going back to Dublin with us due to her 3 week trip next month to Guatemala), rented a car and arrived at Mark & Aubrey's just before midnight!  The next morning we were excited to meet our newest grandson, Jack.  Here he is with Daddy Mark in their home in Sacramento!

We are on holiday (vacation) for 20 days or so here in California; we are going to have all four kids together, and their families, for the first time in four years!  We will be here in Sacramento until Monday and then head to Salinas to be with Kathy's family - which will be our rendezvous point for everyone else.  Andrew & Sarah landed in San Jose last night and are already in Salinas; Matt & Christies fly in on Tuesday night!  More picture to follow . . .  We are so thankful to be able to gather again to renew family ties, play with the 6 grandkids and be with our USA family; what a great blessing!

We miss our Irish friends and family and are so grateful for their unbelievagle love and support to us! We are beyond thankful to The Lord for His blessing and mercy to us.
