i really appreciate our neighbors--such a great representation of community. a few weeks ago we had some friends staying at our house, and within 24 hours, my sweet neighbor shalini randomly brought over cookies & another neighbor noelle dropped off yummy banana nut bread. our out of town guests were a little weirded out at the friendliness of the neighborhood, but i wouldn't have it any other way. it is so nice to have people you can count on 50 feet away. some days it feels like a college dorm room going over to each others' homes and passing the afternoon away.
tonight several of our husbands were working so our neighbor tatyana cooked delicious risotto for all of the widows. i baked chocolate chip cookies and we cut up mounds of fresh fruit for the kids. between the four moms, we have 8 little CRAZY boys who love to cause ruckus together. after dinner we went for a walk and saw several other friends playing outside. our kids spend hours upon hours outside each day and i wouldn't have it any other way.
raising two boys can be exhausting, but having a supporting village around you is such a huge blessing!!! thankful for my wonderful neighbor friends. love.
