Last Summer we got new neighbors two doors down from our house. When we found out that 3 boys moved in, Grace was very disappointed. You would never believe that today! We soon learned that the youngest of the 3 boys, Joseph, was Grace's age and starting Kindergarten with her in the Fall. (this was last Fall) Since then, the two have become inseparable....hardly waiting after school until the other one has his or her backpack off to start their after school adventures. Joseph's mom Kim and I have become good friends and love that the kids are so like-minded. We laugh at Grace's desire to have Joseph play "house" or some other roll-playing game and Josephs patients at teaching Grace millions of video games! They compromise by playing "Star Wars", which means that Grace gets to be Princess Leah (this bugs Olivia who thinks she is the ONLY princess in this house!) and Joseph gets to be Luke Skywalker, or some other character that he loves.
Many afternoons the kids go from my house to Kim's house playing upon our sympathy and asking for snacks at each location. Friday night, Joseph stayed for dinner and a movie...the two were thrilled at the "bonus" time together!
The dynamic duo tired after a day outside....but not too tired to enjoy dinner and a movie together. Joseph had already seen the movie "Hotel for Dogs" so he was able to tell Grace exactly what was going to happen throughout the movie!
Joseph and Grace - taking time to pose for a picture!
Grace & Joseph - reveling in their new freedom to "ride in the street" out front of the house!
