Possible new Mom friend

I have to say that I really enjoy where we live in Kalamazoo.  I know I've said it before but the community is amazing and I love the attitude, as a whole, of the people here.  One thing that is hard being in a city where you don't know anybody is making new friends... especially as a Mom!  You're priority is making sure that your kids are around other kids/parents that are good to be around and that you and your kids both like... which is harder than you think.  Most of the time I like the parents just fine but their kids are brats or whiners... but I think that we found a family that everybody likes!  I met her at K Phil and she has children about the same age as the crazies.  I made her a few meals because she got really sick and any Mom knows that as a Mom you don't get the excuse 'you're not feeling well'.  So, when it's something more serious than you do anything you can to help out.  Since she has been feeling better they invited us over to have dinner and so that the kids could play together.   It went really well!  The kids did well with their kids and we had this delightful Korean feast!  We are watching her youngest as she goes in for follow-up appointments so I think this could be the start of a beautiful little friendship.  :)  And, it's also really nice to know, as a parent, that there are other adults that you can trust if you need help with your kids.  I think that's the hardest part is vetting other adults... making sure that they are reliable and somebody you feel safe leaving your most precious treasure with.  So, we are really starting to set down roots and get involved with this community even more... let's hope we can stay :)
