Neighborhood Friendships

We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and neighbors here in Jax.  There are kids all around us who we play with in the afternoons.  Riley enjoys sharing his toys, bikes and swing set with all of them.  We've given many of our neighbors an open invitation to use our swing set regardless if we are out or not.  The best part is that we have people we can trust to give that invitation to and they actually take us up on it!  Our babysitter lives across the street and her 4 year old brother is one of Riley's buddies as well.  Kendall will have her share of boys to choose from as she gets older.  Our next door neighbors have a son who is just a few months younger than her and twin boys just a few houses up the street.  We're hoping we can get another friend of ours to move into the development.  If she does, Kendall will have a girl to play with who's just weeks older than her.  We know how fortunate we are to have wonderful families to raise our children with.  The kids play so nicely together and the moms (and their dads too) are some of my closest friends.  God has truly helped make this our home.  He helped us afford this home on one income and He has given us wonderful people to share it with.  
Here are some pictures of Riley and Kendall with their friends:
