Sand In My Toes

We had our first meetup today with a couple of local mama's and their kids.  It went well, I think.  Everyone is really nice and we have lots in common.  The kids played.  We had a couple of rough starts, but all in all they did pretty good.

The birthday party this weekend was good.  It was great to get everyone together, the birthday boy really enjoyed it.  One of his gifts was a blow-up pool for the yard.  It was filled today and waiting for us when we got back from playing.  I'm amazed at how different our lives are right now.  We can actually play in the yard.  We can play is a kiddie pool because the ground is flat, there are no chiggers or mites and no dogs roaming in and out.  I know we're still in "honeymoon" mode here, but I'm so thankful for the children needing nightly baths because they've gotten dirty playing outside.
