Belmont Friends

Despite our assurances, our children were convinced that they would "NEVER" find good friends in Belmont, but it turns out that WE WERE RIGHT! (Not the first time, not the last!) The kids have made friendships that will last for many, many years.
These girls were nearly inseparable during the year. This picture was taken about midnight, just a few hours before we pulled out. Heather L., in the center, was also moving within days. The girls are inside her family's U-Haul.
It rains often in Mass. And I mean rain, not sprinkles. And the rain often turns to downpours.
Kate and McKenna started out at Kate's house (about a mile away) and by the time they made it to our house the heavens had opened. McKenna was supposed to come home to babysit but it turned out I didn't need her after all. When I called Kate's house to let her know, they had already left. They arrived at our house looking like this. When I told her I didn't need her to babysit, they decided to head back to Kate's!

Tessa and her friends decided to "glam" up for the movie Prince Caspian.

The best kind of friend - is a teacher! Sister Janae R. was The Best Primary Teacher in the world. Cooper sincerly loves her.
