Having nice neighbors with young kids is going to be fun.
Two Fridays ago there was a half day at school and Little E wanted to have a play date with the new neighbors children. The one mom and her kids were busy unfortunately but the other mother and her two children met us at the park.
They come from Brazil originally but moved here from Connecticut. It sounds like their husbands still commute for work.
This morning they waited until we got to the end of our driveway where we all wait together for the bus. Then they collectively yelled Good morning. What a cute way to start our day.
Monday morning we are going to say Good morning to them in Portuguese.
Photo is unrelated but is of some caterpillar Baby S and I saw around my yard on Wednesday.

@LadyDuck these are the only neighbors I’ve tried to get to know over the years. I did try twice to invite the young neighbor to the left of us over to parties but she never responds. Perhaps she is very shy as I am. I did make sure her son got a cookie the other day though when I gave ones to the new neighbors up the street.

Sorry I had to skip the photo. It grosses me out to see the hairy ones.
It's nice to get to know our new neighbors especially when they're from a different country.
