oh amazing! okay an idea just popped in my mind. i don't know about yeva's parents but marissa's mom is absolutely the type to find any kind of meetup adoption get together and shove the two of them there every now and then. her mom's not based right in boulder but she does come visit quite a bit, so maybe in the past few days/weeks/or even coming up in the next few days there was a get together and/or will be a holiday party before the actual holidays?
