Abby, Zoë and Enzo

We met with an expat friend and his family today.  This is the same man that came by to help Chris file the police report.  After Abby and Zoë (and Daddy) were done napping, we gave them a call and Richard came to pick us up, as he didn't want us to have to take the bus.  Their house is pretty close by, and when we got there we heard his daughters running to hide.  We told him not to worry about it, that it was the same thing our girls would have done.  His wife, Irene greeted us and then we all went to see if we could get their two girls, Anabelle, who just turned 5, and Talita, who is 7, to come out of their shell.  Abby and Zoë had no problems going in to play with all the girly toys without Talita and Anabelle and after a while all of the girls began playing together.

We had a nice time chatting with Richard and Irene while all of the girls played, and pretty soon Talita had them out in the living room to watch Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses, so our girls were quite pleased about the visit.  When it was time to go, Zoë was the first to go right up and give both girls a hug good-bye.  Abby hid her face in my pants at first, but then went and gave hugs too.  They also invited them all to come play at our apartment sometime.
