Homeschool Friends

During Proposititon 8 (about gay marriage), a lady in my ward* came across this amazing Christian homeschooling family with 6 kids . Our moms decided we would like to meet each other. Many ages met up with us, so we would have fun together. We met for the first time at Creekside park. Since then we have been great friends. The moved to North San Jose like 8-11 months ago. Because of the distance we have had a harder time getting together. WE kept in touch through email and blogs but not been able to get together for a play date. Fortunately, we have the same orthodontist who is down on the corner of Miller and Wolfe. So today, when they had to come down for an appointment, we got to see them again. We met at Creekside again, and had a blast. They had their 7th in December so we got to see her for the first time, and they saw Katie for the first time. They have 7 kids like us! Here are their names in order of age. Lauren, the oldest, is 15; Thomas is 13; Pierce is next, he is 11; Zoe is 6; Lucas is 4; Stephen is 2 and adorable Xiana( zee-ah-nuh) is 5 months old( she is two months younger than Katie to the day). Below are some pictures of our park date!

Adorable Xiana!
