Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.  My name is Wendy and I'm a graduate student at ASU studying earthquakes.  My boyfriend and I have his 5 and 3/4 year old daughter (don't call her five-she's five and three-quarters   ) 40-50% of each month and will have her for most of the summer.  We don't know anyone who has children, and Abby is getting tired of only playing with "boring grown-ups".  I would love for her to have some kids to play with, and it would be great for my boyfriend and I to have a to have people to talk to.  It's been difficult for me going from no kids to a 4 year old in one fell swoop.  This is an enormously important and huge responsibility, and I want to do it right.  Anyway, thanks for this resource!
