New Friends

The Marcheschi Family moved to Woodland from Draper a couple of months ago and we have all had such a great time getting to know them. Our kids love to be with their girls and each time we get together they hit it off famously. After General Conference we got together for a visit. We enjoyed a yummy pasta meal and made sugar cookies. Being with them makes Brynn miss her Utah cousins, because as she says, "The Marcheschi's remind me of Utah and it makes me miss my cousins." Sometimes you just need friends who "get it," if-ya-know-what-I mean?

On Veteran's Day we met up at Fairy Tale Town and let the kids play all afternoon. It was a great day for everyone, except that I forgot to take my camera. Joseph is the pictures taker and he is usually the brains behind any photo-op we have. Besides, I was thinking about other things....like how terrified I was about taking all of my children to a public place alone. I only lost Aaron about 4 times. Only once did I had to involve the park staff, but my friend Monica found him staring at the three blind mice in the big red barn. Yes, real. live. mice! Eeeew! The first thing he said when his dad got home from work was, "I dot yost Dad!" He's a wanderer. It was a fun day. We wish the Marcheschi's lived right next door, or even down the street, but we'll even take across town. We're just glad their here!
