An Open Letter

Dear Genia and John,

We love being your neighbors.

We love exchanging meals every other week and having that dependable friend from whom to borrow eggs, a ladder, or a weed whacker.

We love how our kids get so excited to play together. We love our quiet cul-de-sac where they all can ride their scooters/trikes/bikes together.

We love our little park we can quickly walk to for an easy picnic playdate.

It was fun having dinner and watching the Oscars with you!

We love how Ave is such a good friend to Cora, even though she's two years older and goes to the big school now. We love how Owen and Violet giggle at each other.

And we love how Johnny and Cora play together.

The other day, when Johnny asked me if he could have a date with Cora, I laughed inside, but also secretly hoped that these kids will grow up together, and reach dating age together.

So, from our family to yours, please don't ever move.
Sincerely,
Stace and Lisa

Editors' note: I asked Johnny what he meant when he asked me if he could have a date with Cora, and he said that she could come to his house and they could play. So I think he was meaning a "play date." And, for those of you wondering, "dating age" would be 23.
