Our New Neighborhood

This past weekend, we got a wonderful preview of our new neighborhood.  Our move is scheduled for later this summer, but our soon-to-be neighbors very thoughtfully invited us to attend the street's annual summer block party that was happening now.  They block off both ends of the street from any car traffic and they have a giant potluck dinner, a bounce house, a bike parade from one end to the other...even the fire and police department stop by and let the kids climb through their vehicles for a bit.  So fun!  It was a great way to meet everyone all at once and to be able to introduce our kids to some new friends their age that they'll be living near for years to come (at least that's the plan!).  Erik and I were really blown away by everyone's kindness and welcoming spirit.  We are so thrilled to have such lovely neighbors in our future!
