One activity Miller really missed out on while living with my parents was hosting playdates at our house. Since there's no brother to play with in our family, we like to import friends over to entertain Miller;) It's been awesome to use the bonus room above the garage as the playroom. I can hear all of the action & noise from the safety of the kitchen. The mess & flurry of activity is an earshot away. Here Grant & Miller are action heros flying in to save the day.
One huge blessing of our move is that there are plenty of new friends in the neighborhood. There are playmates Miller's age on both sides of our house. We counted 6 kindergarten boys within two blocks. There is a lot of house hopping off the bus and street play which we love. Landon and I pinpointed this neighborhood for this exact reason. We had several drive throughs where we noticed all the kids out & about. We were spoiled with street play at our last house, and we knew that we wanted that for Miller again with this move. He thinks that this is how all neighborhoods operate:)
Living in a more established neighborhood, there are enormous backyard trees. This tree came down in the front yard of our next door on a windy March day. We're so thankful it didn't hit any of the kids as they were playing in its path just the day before. The fallen tree provided lots of front yard entertainment before it was chopped into firewood. Some of the K boys made sections into a makeshift seesaw. Fun early spring times ahead in the hood!
