Our friends, the Cranes, have two boys the same ages as Evan and
Keagan. We have a lot in common with them: we are both military, have two boys
21 months apart, we are soccer moms, and we both live in rental houses in the
process of a short sale. Lately, we have spent a lot of time trading stories
and advice. Their older son Hunter had his sixth birthday today at
the bowling alley. It was the first time that either of my boys had bowled, and
Evan was super excited about giving bowling a try. Some how he had learned the
lingo (spare and strike) and he used it appropriately at the party. We had a
great time!
