On July 4th, one of our neighbors organized a block party. Since moving in two months ago, we have been able to meet a lot of our immediate neighbors but certainly not everyone on the street. We know that there are lots of young families with young children so we were really excited to be able to go and have been looking forward to this for weeks. However, I was still in the hospital with Madeleine and could not go - but John and James went and had a blast - good food and great people (but there was a keg, so I'm sure John would have had a great time regardless!). One of the families brought out their slip and slide and John said that once James figured out what was going on, he just kept going and going. There is a 8 yr old boy who lives across the street who took James under his wing and showed him how to run and slide and cheered him on every time he got farther than a foot.
I wish I could have been there, but it was also great that John and James were able to spend some good time together before we brought Madeleine home the following day. It was such a great time that everyone has already started planning next years July 4th party, I will definitely not be missing that one!
