buddies

Look at these sweet kids:

Here they are now......all grown up (almost) and still buddies:

(and Chris still not looking at the camera) :o)

I told M&M to give Chris a kiss on the cheek, and this is the best they would do:

Chris, on the other hand, wasn't shy. When I told him to give the girls a kiss on the cheek, he went for it:

And then a chase ensued:

I love these photos.

We're going to be getting new neighbors soon, and the girls are really going to miss having Chris & his lil brother Alex next door.

I will miss having two little kiddos right next door to deliver goodies to when we bake.

I will miss hearing Alex's blood-curdling scream followed by lingering cries and wondering what on earth happened, only to find out the next day that he had just stubbed his toe.

I'll miss the summer nights when they would all stay outside playing in the driveway till 9pm.

Playing ball, playing with toys, having dance parties in the back of David's truck, writing on any and every surface with sidewalk chalk, falling down & scraping knees & getting a kiss from mom & returning to the games, squeeling and having a great time.

Who knew when we moved into our little place that it would come with built-in friends.

Quite a value. :o)
