Friends!

Easter

We love our friends here. Both the kids, and even better for me, their moms. This is the bunch of usual suspects. They're the best, are like us, approach parenting the same way and we all have a good time.

The lovely little Eleanor

Troy and Liam are just 1 month older than Bobby and every time we get on the freeway, Bobby wants to get off at their exit. And although, he never shows it, he likes them immensely and has a great time. Words can't express, so I won't try.

A sweet moment

Bobby seems to like school once he's there, but he doesn't seem to like getting there.  He does have fun and plays a lot, but I can't say much else.  In 8 months, he's brought home 2 pieces of art. I know that's not his thing, but nothing at Christmas time, come on. He likes his little buddies, and there seems to be some boys boys that he plays with mostly, no surprise there. (I don't know who this kid looking at me is) I'm sure the moms are all friendly, but we just haven't clicked in the few minutes we see each other at drop off.

Hat day at school

There are several Stroller Warrior babies right at Jacks age, and a ton in the 1-2 year old range. Jack is the active baby of the group so far.

Such the ham

Bristols face just kills me

This was right after Jack whacked her on the head

We ended up living on an awesome street. There are 2 other 3 year olds, two 2 year olds, a 1 year old, then another five kids between 6-10. It's nice to be able to walk out front and find someone to play with right before dinner when I'm the most tired or we all need a change of scenery.  Jake is 2 months older than Bobby and they are trouble together. They will run back and forth between houses and we are all able to give each other breaks when needed if someone needs to cook dinner or Jack is sleeping etc. They played on Saturday for at least 5 hours non stop. And then both woke up asking about the other.  We want to buy a house for sure, but are in less of a rush because we'd have to leave our street!
