Today the girls and I had a play date with another family from CBS. They moved here from KY last year, and Madalyn was in Elizabeth’s CBS class, but we somehow never connected. We recognized each other a few weeks ago at the library during an hour which immediately indicated we were both homeschoolers, and we immediately hit it off. Our park date today was super comfortable and fun–we have so, so much in common, and amazingly, they live just a few blocks away in the neighborhood next to ours. We can literally both just walk to meet at the park whenever we feel like it. I told my mom afterwards that I can just feel that Alison is going to become a really good friend. God does answer prayers!
Last night Sarah and I combined our leftovers and did dinner at their house since Josh was down at the Royals game and my guys were gone. It has really been a blessing to have them move so much closer, although I owe Sarah about 100 favors and about 1000 babysitting hours. She was saying last night that there are friends, and there are useful friends. Janie woke up from her nap with that whole pooped-in-her-diaper-and-pulled-it-off-and-smeared-it-everywhere routine that she likes to do, and fortunately Sarah and I had planned to repeat yesterday’s success, so I just bathed Janie, scrubbed the poop off the tub, crib, carpet, and walls, threw all the gross laundry in the washer, and took the girls over to Sarah’s for dinner. A useful friend, indeed!
Yay!! So glad you have found some kindred spirits! What an answer to prayer!
Glad you have someone close that you can do many activities with and have some ADULT conversations!!
Hey! So glad you’re finding a friend or two. Just saw your comment about your brother in Jacksonville. Grant is the pastor of Harvest Pres – maybe that’s where your brother goes. If not, tell him to check it out. Apparently there’s not many reformed churches in town. Small world, indeed!
