We have the best neighbors

We've gotten quite close to our neighbors across the street. Sean and Nicole have 3 boys and the oldest is in Hannah's grade. Scott and Sean immediately hit it off and talk on a daily basis. Nicole and I have become good friends as well. We like them a lot and have enjoyed our regular weekend (no kids) bon fire in our backyard! We met Jay and Tana the first day we moved in. They brought us homemade cookies to welcome us. And let me tell you...they were so yummy! I still need to get her recipe. They have 2 girls (our girls age) and a son. Along with a couple other kids from the street, there is always a big group of kiddos playing outside. On to the story...Saturday, Sean was having 26 tons of sand and rock delivered to his house for his backyard. Scott thought he was crazy because he didn't have anybody lined up to help him so Scott walked outside when the truck delivered the material to help out. Then Jay came outside and said he would help also. Not only was he going to help out but he started calling others as well. Before we knew it there was a whole bunch of people helping move sand and rock. Sean was shocked that all these strangers would bring their shovels and wheelbarrels to help him. We got to meet and talk to a lot of neighbors that we've only seen passing in cars. It made us realize how lucky we are to have great neighbors around us. We enjoyed talking to everybody and getting to know them and their children. We even are talking and planning on a block party in the spring. Can't wait!
