His mother-in-law’s emergency surgery brought Peter’s oldest friend Kevin and his family to town last night. It’s really fun to see kids when they’re little and then again when they’re big. Kevin has six of them. While one couldn’t come, because she was working, the rest of them did, and it was like having a sports team in the house. Kevin just finished a half iron man, Linda, the mom looks like a fitness model. There are two D1 track and soccer players, a high school baseball and volleyball player, and a grammar school baseball player, who, get this, plays out of Dallas, two hours from their home! Grateful for the unexpected company of the McQuaid gang.

I’m exhausted just reading about their sports involvement. wow.
