I grew up in a subdivision. Mike grew up in the woods. I have fond memories of playing flashlight tag, catching lightening bugs, and building leaf houses with Amy, Leslie, Jason, Troy, and Adam (to name a few). Mike has fond memories of riding on his 4-wheeler through the woods with his brother and playing with Evan-I'll-get-you-with-my-short-arm (that's what Mike always says-- as if it's one word) who lived through the woods.
Mike has always talked about owning a home in the woods. I've always wanted a house in a subdivision.
I'm getting my wish. Our little subdivision is growing. They're building the ninth house.
Jonah was outside yesterday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:45 p.m. He even had a picnic lunch on our neighbor's back porch. We played with the slip & slide, enjoyed sidewalk chalk, took advantage of the swing sets, and even filled water balloons.
Lydia thinks the big kids are her friends too. "Wait for me, Tyler," she says (as if eight year old Tyler really cares about waiting for her :)
This is going to be a fun summer.
