Thanks for your prayers. Just as an update, I had some good time with people today. My friend A came over this afternoon to read Captivating with me and discuss it. She is young, single, and has no kids (not always true for young single women), but she also strikes me as a remarkably mature girl for her age. I (at least) had a good time with her and am looking forward to more Tuesday afternoons with her.

Our other friends J and C, parents of the infamous dog-washer, came over tonight to play cards and eat pizza. The dog-washer kept herself miraculously occupied for 3 hours with dominoes, playing cards, and Boggle pieces. So far I don't feel like I'm connecting with J and C on the level I'd like to, but I do appreciate spending time with them. Entertainment is always appreciated.

PS I still don't understand how people can keep their 4 year old up until 11 pm and then get her to preschool at 8 the next morning.

   Hannah--I'm really glad to hear your time with A is going well. And I just wanted to encourage you and tell you how great you and Tim are at reaching out and pursuing people. I'm sure that they appreciate and enjoy the time with you as much as we did here.
   
   And on another note, no, I can't see how a 4-year-old can entertain herself for hours and stay up until 11 p.m. I don't even want to think about that scenario in our household!
