The Dead End Gang

We are very blessed to have amazing neighbors. Amazing. We are all the same age, all moved in to the neighborhood around the same time, and all started families within a year of one another. My dad refers to the kids as the dead end gang. It's from little rascals. Last Saturday we had one of my favorite kind of days. A neighbor day. These are always the best when they are non-planned. It started out that we were all outside doing various forms of yardwork. We ended up just hanging out all day (and night). We let the kids run around and get filthy. We caught up with each other. We grilled delicious food. And we succombed to the first truly beautiful day of Spring. My favorite kind of day.

The "babies" as we refer to them. Dominic was having a hard time keeping up with Emory's furious waddling.
