Old Friends and New Friends!

We kept our friends Ambrielle and Marina while Brad and Kimberly went to a convention. They were our first official overnight guests! The kids had fun swimming and playing, and I took them bowling one day. I only got a picture of Ambrielle and Avery together (pardon the plumber behind them working on Avery's bathtub!).

The kids did a day camp at their school one week which was fun (and a nice much-needed break for me!).

Avery's friend Olivia from home picked her up for a playdate, and when I drove to get her we stayed and swam with our old neighbor friends the Whitfields! We sure miss our neighborhood :(

We had some friends from the new school over for a swim date! Avery knew one of the girls (Finley) when she was her "buddy" the day she visited SCS. The other girl (Greenleigh) was one we hadn't met before, and the girls hit it off so well that Greenleigh stayed for a sleepover! Aidan had met one of the boys (Houston) at a Booster Club party we went to, and the other boy (Jack)'s mom had reached out to me and helped me to get connected which I very much appreciated! The boys all went to an evening youth retreat for part of the week, where Aidan met even more friends!

Some of my mom friends came out to see my house and go to dinner! I miss having them so close!
