I think we may live in a utopia. Well, not the entire world we exist within, but our little neighborhood. Where else would ice cream trucks stop outside my door 2 times in one day? Where else would Romanians be my neighbors? Where else would Germans be my neighbors, where else would my children run and play for endless hours with these children despite age differences or opposite gender? Where else would Claire fall in love with climbing a tree? Where else would my kids be able to run freely on the quiet street? Where else would we spend the night roasting marshmallows in our yard with eager neighbor children eagerly waiting their turn? Yep, that's right. A utopia. I thought this place only existed in North Dakota. Looks like we've struck gold. We are definitely looking forward to our summer in our new house. This move may have cost us some money, but it was so worth every single penny.
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
