'Are there new people moving into the Smiths house?' Eric Camden asked his wife Annie from he window. 'I don't know,' she answered joining him. They could see a moving van parked outside the hose next door, and people carrying boxes from it. 'Looks like it.' 'Maybe we should go over and say hi,' Eric suggested.
'Dad, strangers are coming,' a small boy cried before running into the house.
'What?' a man said turning around. He saw a man and a women coming up the path, he smiled warmly, 'Hi!' It was the man that spoke first. 'Hi, we're sorry to intrude, but we just wanted to come and say hi. I'm Eric, and this is my wife Annie.'
'Hi,' she said.
'We just wanted to welcome you to the neighbourhood,' he finished.
'I'm Robert Carlson,' the man said shaking their hands. 'Lisa we've got visitors,' he called into the house. A woman emerged and walked up to him, two small boys close behind her. 'This is Eric and Annie Camden from next door. This is my wife Lisa.' Lisa shook their hands, 'Hi, these are our two sons, Kiren and Jake,' the Camden's recognised Jake as the one that ran into the house.
'We have a daughter too, but she's enrolling at the school today, these little guys enrol tomorrow,' Robert explained.
'That's quick, you only moved in and your kid is beginning a new school the same day?' Annie asked a little stunned.
'She's not allowed to life things, so she went today 'cos she's bored,' Kiren said.
'Don't you have some things to unpack?' Lisa asked, this was his queue to leave taking Jake with him. 'Sorry about that, you know what kids are like, she joked. 'Do you have any?'
'Yeah, we have seven, technically eight,' Annie answered.
'Eight kids? I had trouble giving birth to four,' she said laughing.
'You have a fourth child?'
Immediately Lisa stopped laughing and looked to the floor.
'It's a long story,' Robert explained.
There was an uneasy silence until Eric piped up 'How old is your daughter?'
'She's fifteen, nearly sixteen,' Robert answered.
'We have a sixteen-year-old son. He's a sophomore,' Annie explained.
Lisa picked up her head, 'Really? So is Tia. She skipped a grade when she was young,' she quickly explained.
Eric glanced at his watch, 'Oh no, I'm afraid I need to go to a meeting at the Church,' he apologised for have to dash off, 'See you later honey,' he kissed Annie on the cheek, then went to his car.
'Would you like to come in? We have all the kitchen stuff unpacked already,' Lisa offered.
'That would be lovely,' Annie answered and followed them in.
'What does your husband do?'
'He's a minister.'
'Really, we were planning on going this Sunday, we made it a point to make sure where the Church was when we entered Glenoak,' Robert said.
'Tia rests on the weekend,' Lisa told him quietly, but not silent enough.
'Is she sick?' Annie asked.
'She's a strong child, but she has a heart defect. She gets tried quickly, if you know what I mean,' Robert explained.
'Is it serious?'
'It can be, she's been fitted with a pacemaker, she's fine as long as she doesn't over do it. She's careful, but sometimes pushes herself a little too hard.'
'I'm sorry to hear that, must be horrible to have a sick child.'
'She's ok, used to it I expect. Would you like some tea?' Lisa asked changing the subject. 'We unpacked the beverage stuff so they moving people could have something if they wanted to.'
'That would be nice,' Annie replied.
They sat talking about where the Carlson's were from, and about Lisa getting a new job so they had to move, until it was time for Annie to go and pick up Ruthie from work.
