Friends and Fun

While we’ve learned it does take time to form new attachments in a new place, we’ve not been at a loss for things to do and people to hang out with. In April the kids and I went on a guided wildflower walk in the Connecticut College arboretum with new friends Nancy, Gabe, and Maddy. Gavin spent weeks anticipating making and racing his car for the Cub Scout pinewood derby. We’ve spent Thursday afternoons in our basement playroom and at local parks with our playgroup friends.

I’ve found book club a fun place to hang out, as was this birthday celebration for my friend Tricia. Chad participated in his first Connecticut College graduation – it had been a long time since he wore the robes since he skipped out on the University of Washington ceremonies. But of course, the best fun of all is at home, like in this moment horsing around at bedtime.
