Stew & Friends

Today the school took a bunch of us to immigration to apply for our Alien Resident cards. Another mother-daughter pair were on the school bus with us. Ivy is about my age and Zoey is a little younger than Haley. The two girls really hit it off :) It turns out that Ivy and Zoey live in the same apartment complex as us, two buildings down. Zoey came home with us from school and played with Haley while I made stew for dinner. It was pork, rather than beef, and chicken broth rather than beef. But it turned out pretty darned well! After dinner we all went for a walk. We brought Hoolie too; she was glad to get out of the apartment. Ivy showed us the river right behind our apartment complex. There's a really nice walking path. Then we went to Ivy and Zoey's apartment and let Hoolie run around a bit while we chatted. They had a little dresser that they were giving away so we scooped it up to go in Haley's closet. All in all, a very fun night :)
