Joel's residency classmate and friend Ali and his wife Sakeena and their two kids Emaan and Armaan paid us a surprise visit this week. Having recently relocated from Columbus Ohio to NYC, Ali decided to drive down with the kids for a visit during their Febraury break. They arrived Thursday afternoon and Sakeena flew down Friday morning. We had only seen them once since Joel graduated residency and that was about 9 years ago. It was great to see them and to meet their two kids. Becca and Emaan, who is 8, hit it off instantly and Caroline eventually remembered her "sharing is caring" motto and played nicely (mostly) with four year old Armaan. Ben preferred to hang out with the adults and also got an hour and a half lesson about cricket as Ali showed him some of the cricket World Cup.
We took the kids to Discovery Place this morning and then out to lunch at Queen City BBQ before parting ways so they could start the long drive back to New York. We have already had to promise Becca a trip to New York to visit her new friend Emaan!
