On Saturday, we had a block party with our neighbors. The theme was "Souper Saturday" and we all brought soup to one neighbors' driveway where we stood around, all bundled up, and caught up.
Most of the kids ran around like maniacs and toasted marshmallows.
It was great.
The interesting thing about our neighborhood is that none of us is from this area, and very few of us even grew up close to one another. Three families are from foreign countries, and the rest of us are a mixture of North and South, East and West. I'm excited for Margot to grow up in a place where everyone has a slightly different background, and where being "different" is normal.
Here are all of the kiddos. Most of them I see out and about at the playground or riding their bikes daily. In this picture are: Sasha (on Vidiana's lap), Vidiana, Esther, Riley, Margot (on Riley's lap), Alexander, Nico, Martha, Charlie, Zeta, and Tate. (Missing from the pic are Emma, Greta, and Vickianna).
Our yard is often the spot where some of these kids congregate. Tennessee really has a way with the Elementary/Pre-school set. I look forward to seeing these kiddos grow up!
