Fast forward 20-something years, I have kids of my own, and I've always wanted them to have kids to play with on our street. Kids they could just go outside and meet up with. My prayers have been answered. We have the greatest street and we have several kiddos we play with usually, everyday! A sweet family moved in 2 doors down this past summer with 2 young girls and a 6th grade boy, and our next door neighbors have a 6th grade son, and of course, Crockett is just 2 doors down the other direction! Mix those 5 kids with my 3 kids, and we have our own little crew that LOVE playing together. I can usually bet on our doorbell ringing around 4:30 with several kids asking for our boys to play. They are SO sweet, and play great. When John is here, there's usually a game of football going on in the yard. When he's not here, they still ask to play with Braidy and Quin and there's usually some chasing and tackling going on.
These kiddos are so sweet to play with our boys...and are so well mannered. The girls LOVE Scout and will take her on walks or beg me to let her out to play. By the time Ryan gets home around 6 or so, we have toys strewn out all over the yard, but we also have several happy kids having a ball just being kids and enjoying the outdoors! We love our neighborhood and especially our fun neighbor friends! Quin has added "Bwake" and "Andrew" to his list of people he asks for several times a day! He thinks they hung the moon! We are so thankful for these sweet kids to grow up with!

We really are SO lucky to have such great kiddos around here. They are so sweet to play with the younger boys and help them and watch them and let them chase them with sticks :) Such a fun street. Just imagine a few years from now! HA! There may be 20!
Yay! Neighbor friends are life-long friends. What a blessing.
