New Neighbors

Yesterday we participated in an Easter egg hunt in our new neighborhood. Sandy told us about it and I thought it would be a great time to meet some new neighbors before we move into our new home. We had great fun!

It took a few minutes for HC to figure out the whole egg hunt. When she found an egg she wanted to immediately open it, instead of putting it into her basket and looking for the next egg. One she did get it, she was an old pro. Dianne held a placid Annelise while Dave and I took part in the fun hunt.
We were able to meet several families, besides the two fams that we already know. We met both of our across the street neighbors, who are sweet ladies and fell in love with the girls. One of them exclaimed, "Oh, we have been waiting for a long time for you to come!" We also were able to meet two gals who live two houses down and babysit. Yes! Now I will be fighting with Sandy over them.

It was so wonderful to meet these folks and to see what we will be participating in for the next several years (decades). I really pray that the Lord will give me some wonderful relationships and community in this neighborhood.
