I have a very similar story (work from home, late 30s, married w/kids) and agree it is very hard to maintain/make friends in this situation, especially as an introvert.
The one thing that I've found has been the best (and I'm far from an authority on this subject) is volunteering. It does take time (big downside with small kids) but working together with a group on something is a great icebreaker.
