Sand Trap

Today we went to a nearby playground to meet some of the church mom's group members. We were among the first to arrive (again with the punctuality) and D went immediately to the huge sand pit in the middle of the park. It was awesome! There were stray buckets and shovels strewn about and D just got right down to business.



The mom next to us has a daughter in preschool at the church and also a two year old. He hung out with D in the sand pit for quite some time before running off to the swings. J mentioned that they will be moving to Austin this summer so I didn't get too into a conversation with her for kind of obvious reasons. Strike 1.

I already knew one mom there, D. She has a daughter, C, who is a few months younger than D. We met outside of church one day as we were leaving. She is very involved in the mom's group. She is in the process of buying a house in another parish. Strike 2.

As we were digging in the dirt, another mom approached and introduced herself. When she saw Dominic she looked at me quizzically. She asked if I live in TC. I said yes and she asked if we were on the Creek Crawl this past weekend. Turns out she and her two sons, husband and boxer were in our group! They are actually in the picture from the blog post titled, "Contacts made ". They have the double stroller you see there.

Anyway, her older son, A, goes to the church school and her plan is to have her younger son join him when it's time. Looks like D has met his first classmate as they will be in the same grade due to D's birthday being four days after the cut-off date! Pretty cool, huh?
