Our trip around the neighborhood...

We decided it was time to meet our neighbors. We've been here for about 3 weeks--maybe 4--I've lost track of time. Although Ashley is telling me that she has been in school for 18 days. Anyway, I baked some cookies and yesterday evening we set out to introduce ourselves. I must admit I was a little nervous because the kids were a little bit too excited. As we were walking down the sidewalk, I commented that just because we were excited didn't mean that it had to be a circus. It was at this moment that the girls began humming circus music and pretended that they were juggling balls. (Where do they learn these things???!!!) Fortunately, everything went well and no one completely embarassed us out of the neighborhood. No one broke anything at any of the houses either. The best thing about the trip was that we found out that the couple that lives across the street from us had 6 boys that included a set of triplets. They are all grown now, but it is very comforting knowing that there probably isn't anything that they haven't seen done.

Wow! SIX boys!? No kidding there's nothing they haven't seen! :-)

Glad you had a good time meeting your neighbors. We've met the majority of ours, but there's still one house whom we haven't. Gotta get on that, i guess!

Well.... as a mom with both sons and daughters I can think of a few things your neighbors haven't seen. Nonetheless, how wonderful to have neighbors that actually love kids.
