Eden and I have really been enjoying the sunshine! It's great to be able to come home after a long day and either walk down to the school only a few blocks away or even better be able to stay home in the front yard with all the neighbor kids. I am always joking that I live in the projects because of all the kids that are around this area, but it's truly great. Eden has become such good buddies with the boys next door.



Tonight, I couldn't resist the temptation. All three boys (Eden, Jeffrey and Kevin) were outside playing with sidewalk chalk when it came time for dinner. I had already prepared dinner for Eden and my neighbor the same for her kids. They BEGGED us to let them eat together. So out on the front porch we all went. It just made me chuckle.

Our neighbors are from Thailand and eat there traditional foods most of the time. So out come the boys... white rice, poached egg and soy sauce on top. Eden, biscuit and gravy. All three throught they were in heaven! I wish I would have captured when they were sharing all of it too.

But it also made me realize, how great our country really is. How many other nations can stand together and share such different cultures and still get along, let alone live next door to each other?! We truly live in a wonderful country and need to realize the blessing we have, for ourselves and for others!
