A Typical Day


We feel so lucky to live next to neighbors with kids. It is a rare day when we don't see Macy (2), Chase (4) and Mackenzie (7). Ella is always thrilled to see them and nearly always sobs when it is dinnertime and time to part. You can probably tell from the pictures why she would feel so sad. These guys always have sooo much fun!

We fitted the guest room to act as a toy room and it gets a lot of use!

I love this last picture because you can just see how thrilled Kayla is to be part of the group. The rest were too busy lost in the world of Thomas the train to even realize she was there.

You always have the best neighbors. How do you do it? Is that a pre-requisite when you are house hunting?

Your toy room looks amazingly fun! And it looks like Ella's got some fun new additions, lucky girl! :) And your neighbors sound wonderful and I can picture Ella loving her neighbors perfectly. So cute! I'm so glad that you guys have made such good friends in Texas. And your house looks awesome!! Have you been purchasing new furniture and decorating like crazy? I'm sure that everything looks beautiful!

How fun to catch up on your last month in Texas. I have been MIA from the computer for a while and it is fun to get a whole bunch of posts at once. It looks like halloween was wonderful and there is a lot of great stuff to do!

I love the pictures - especially the one with Kayla in it! She is thrilled to be a part of that group! And rightfully so!!!

We love having you guys as neighbors too! You rock!

What fun times with your neighbor friends. It really is a blessing to have good neighbors and it's not always a sure thing when you move.

Kayla just has the most sparkly smile and eyes in that picture. So cute!

I always have wanted to have good neighbors. Looks like you were blessed in that department. How fun is it for the kids to run back and forth to play between the two houses. I love the looks on both of the girls faces.

Cheers to great neighbors! They are especially wonderful when husbands work late and you need to talk to an adult so you don't go too crazy! It looks like you guys are having so much fun! Isn't your own house great? Lots of work, but great!
