There is a new family in our ward with a girl Sterling's age and another girl a little older than Evie. We took them to the park on Monday morning and Sterling & Anna were so cute holding hands while we walked around the path. Anna was careful to explain that when you hold hands, 'you put your fingers like this...' (as she intertwined her own little fingers to show Sterling how it was done). Apparently, she's had some practice with this- she is a slightly older woman... She's also a completely adorable 'red-headed pistol' as her Mom, Jamie, calls her.
Today we met them at the pool and Sterling was having an "off-day" with the pool, so he was a little scared to leave the steps. Finally, I put him in Evie's floaty crab. This is still wasn't enough (even with the two noodles and arm floaties), until Anna floated next to him and held his hand. They paddled around the pool together holding hands, happy as clams. So, maybe not really "young love" but a very cute friendship.
Thus far, we haven't really found someone for Sterling to be good friends with, but Anna may be the "one." They are going to be participating in our preschool co-op starting next week, so they will have lots of time to make a "go" of it.
Now if we could just get Evie to decide she wants to walk, she may be able to play with Brooklyn a little bit...
**All of these pictures were taken with my new phone! Nice, huh? It has this handy little USB cable that connects right to my tower and loads up the pictures AND at 2 megapixels... Voila! Je t'aime, mon petite téléphone cellulaire...

It may be mutual. Anna thinks Sterling is just great! We look forward to many more fun days with our new friends
Too, too cute. And you are one hot mama yourself!
