At the beginning of the summer, a new family moved into our ward. They happened to have the same number of kids as we do with all the right ages, or pretty close. The oldest boy was eleven, same as Westley, and if the kids were in public school (they homeschool), they would have been in the same grade. The second oldest would have been in Caleb's grade, the third oldest would have been in Travis' grade. The three older kids were all boys, just like in our family, with the fourth a girl, just like in our family. Their girl was a little younger than Eliza, so they would not have been in the same grade, but they were close enough in age to play and be friends. Then they had a boy Jonah's age and another boy the same age as Annmarie.
The best part was how well they all got along. Probably the only one of all the kids who didn't get along was Jonah. Anyway, over the summer and in the fall, we became pretty good friends. We spent much of the last several weeks doing things with them and they were the last people we said goodbye to before rolling out to Provo and heading to Mesa.
