Today, we are going to the Big Lake (Lake Superior) with some friends. They have a lake house and we are heading out their with them and their minister's family for a day of playing and picnicking.
Back in June, one of my friends (and the dad of one of Sarah's really good friends) mentioned that they wanted to have us out to their lake house sometime this summer.
As usually happens, we finally managed this week.
I'm looking forward to something fun. This is a really nice family. She's a ER doc, he's a sometimes SAHD, they have three girls - the middle one is in Sarah's grade but at a different school. She is really sweet. In fact, when she came over for a playdate earlier this week, the two of them ended up sitting in Sarah's room reading. I almost told them to stop reading and go play, but it dawned on me that any friend you are comfortable enough to just sit in a room and read with was actually a great thing and left them alone for a while.
I wouldn't mind if we started doing more things with this family (although just when we lived in CA we could end up finding a nice couple the hang with just before we move).
[And their daughter gave Sarah a great gift the other day. I guess that Sarah was telling her about being teased at school this past year. The school has moved the biggest offenders so they are in a different class than Sarah and this years Teacher's in-service theme is bullying, so we are hopeful that things will be better. But, we told Sarah that if it gets bad again, she doesn't have to put up with it and we can move Sarah to the another school. The school we'd plan on moving her to is the one this girl attends as well as another good friend of Sarah's. Sarah's friend told her that she didn't want Sarah to be teased, but she really hoped Sarah moved to her school. She also talked with Sarah about some of the other teasing incidents that she knew about both at her school and Sarah's. Knowing that these two girls will be there to welcome Sarah if she needs to change schools makes both Sarah and I feel better!
