Neighbors

We are desparately missing our neighbors in California right now. It's been almost two weeks since the move and it's finally setting in that we aren't going back. Veda asks about her friends and misses her playtime just outside our front door. In the weeks before our move our friends demonstrated how amazing they really are. They all got together to throw us a going away party on the lawn... they let us use their dryer when ours was unhooked and we still had a load of laundry in the wash... they even folded our underwear;)... they let us hang out at their home way past bedtime while the movers finished up... they let our children take baths at their house... they took Veda for an entire 24 hours so that she didn't have to stay with us at the hotel... they made us the most amazing homemade Japanese dinner and didn't even flinch when Adele tore up their house...they let us mooch off their wireless when our internet was disconnected... they made us cookies for the trip home... they offered to watch the kids... they showered us with gifts for baby boy laabs and our new home... they offered their homes so we didn't have to stay at the hotel... they made sure we left town with at least one more load of hand-me-downs;)

I can only hope that we find at least one neighbor in Ohio that is anywhere near as generous as the Cali crew. We love and miss you all!
