We are, to Rachel's friends, nameless. An example:
Today Drew ran into Tessa, one of Rachel's friends from preschool, as he was picking Rachel up tonight.
"Rachel's Dad!" she said excitedly, greeting him. Turning to her mom, Helen, she said, "We're going to have a playdate with Rachel!"
"Yes," Helen said somewhat wearily. "We're trying to put that together."

This morning Rachel knocked very politely on our bedroom door. We had overslept a bit, so we invited her in to bed to cuddle. She was clutching the faded yellow rabbit she calls Knuffle Bunny, but it's really a stuffed animal that one of my roommates gave me in college.
"I need something soft to cuddle when I'm in bed," she explained, so all of us snuggled up until Drew decided it was time to make breakfast for all of us (I had the day off).
