Meeting New People

Bill and Jen invited us over to their place for our annual 4th of July Cookout At Bill and Jen's. They also invited a family from their Sunday School class. It was really great to be able to meet them. They have four children, all four-years-old or younger. Since Kristin and I are currently the only couple up here who have children (at least of those friends that we see on a regular basis), it was a great thrill to be able to spend time with another family with kids. It also helps to give Kathryn some time with other kids her age.

Today, I was again amazed at Kathryn's willingness to discuss overly analytical topics with me. We talked about:
1. Whether "zero" was a number, since it means "nothing" (Kathryn asked this one).
2. Whether it was correct to ask for a "sip" of ice cream, if it's already melted (I asked this one).

I think we decided that, yes, zero is still a number; and that you can ask for a sip of ice cream, but only if it's completely melted in a bowl, not in a cone.
