Making Friends

We were invited over to have lunch after church today with one of the families from church. They were so nice to invite us over; they have three kids, with the two younger ones being just slightly older than J and E respectively. It's been a while since J's had so much time to play with kids his own age, and I think he really missed it. Getting him to leave was the hardest thing. He had such a great time. He should enjoy summer camp tomorrow. And K and I enjoyed having adult conversation too. Granted a lot of the conversation centered around the kids (exchanging potty training stories - hilarious!), but it was great still! We also got some tips for where to bring the kids (apparently there's a cool train museum near the LA zoo). God blessed us today!

We moved J up to the older 3-4-year-old class in Sunday School today. It went well; he went in with nary a glance back at me. Mum who? I think it's better for him here, they do more Bible stories. They did Daniel in the Lions' Den today, and his teacher told me he was a little disappointed because there weren't any crocodiles in the story. He's in a bit of a crocodile phase right now. But he was a good sport about it still, he took on the role of a lion and roared appropriately.

In completely unrelated news - K and I have managed to watch two movies that we rented in the past couple of weeks. That's DOUBLE the number of movies we watched since J was born! We watched Freedom Writers and Shall We Dance?. And thoroughly enjoyed both. So nice. Being away from home has given K a little more free time at night (when he's not doing reading or homework); otherwise at home, he's usually busy with either work or church stuff after the kids go to bed. So I'm enjoying watching movies with my husband again! Yay! I want to catch the orignal Japanese Shall We Dance too.
