super cool hood
We are blessed with great neighbors. Really we are. It has taken some time to settle into our townhouse.. longer likely because we've become a family in that time, but tonight in the warm summer evening, I was filled with just so much joy.
I had just come home from running some evening errands and was feeling a bit tired. I had the garage door open and was putting away things while my son rode his trike and my daughter cooed at him and clapped her hands. My hubby drove up and our son ran up to his car asking if he could go for a ride. Hubby opened the back door and kiddo climbed into his booster seat in back and rode into the garage. It's wonderful to live in a place where we can hang outside in the evening and wait for daddy to come home.
Then our next door neighbors came home. I hadn't spent time with the mom in a bit and my son was absolutely ecstatic to see her and her daughter (who's 5 and his favorite playmate). We all chatted and the kids got out their various bikes, trikes, wagons and were running all over. It is so great to have neighbors like this.
Another neighbor and her daughter joined in the fun (this girl is 3 and my son's other bud). Oh the antics this little pack came up with. chasing each other around, talking to our baby. I actually brought out baby girl's walker and the girls of the hood were leading her around and Hubby got some footage of the pack with our digicam.
As the sun went down and we all took our respective babes into our respective houses.... I was just so happy to live here in our little home. Hearing the various family noises through the open windows and the cool night air as I put our baby down was heavenly. It's good to be home.
