BFFs

When we first moved to North Carolina, Ryan became fast friends with one of our neighbor's sons, Brandon, who was a year older. They have so much in common and the friendship has blossomed over the past 2 years. I think they are both equally comfortable at either of our houses.

Brandon has a sister, Sydney, who is currently 7 1/2. She just finished first grade. She's a really sweet kid, but we never foresaw the way that our girls would bond with her! Their friendship has developed more slowly, but as Livy and Katy have gotten older, the gap between their ages has grown smaller. They idolize and adore her, and she is just great with them.

The path between our houses (through our side yard and just across the cul de sac) has become thoroughly worn by those five pairs of feet. And time in the mornings is monitored closely as they all wait for 9 a.m. when they're finally allowed to go out and see who's ready to play.
