My last post was July and now it's the second day of school! What happened to August?
Well...
We got new neighbours!
Over the last few months we watched as across the street a new house got built. Anna-Lee prayed there would be a ten year old girl to play with and Monica prayed there would be a dog for Cyrus to play with.
Lo and behold there was a ten year old girl and a nice black lab/chow mix that loves to play with Cyrus.
Ever since, Anna-Lee and the three children (10, 7 and 4) have been fast friends, along with the two dogs.
And our home has not been the same since (in a good way).
I love to watch/listen to children at creative play.
One of their favorite games is BUS. They use one of Monica's old manual chairs as a bus. One child rides it, two children push it, one child acts as stop signs, animals crossing the road and the occasional meteor shower of flying stuffed animals.
Occasionally, the bus becomes a train and moves side to side, and it has even morphed into a plane where the two girls pick it up with one four year old in it and fly it around the basement.
Every now and then there is a CRASH, a BANG, a THUMP, and a WAIL, but for the most part the louder the noise the more fun they are having.
And here they come now!
God is fun.
