Neighbors

This morning the kids were eager to go out in our backyard to play, and we had to remind them that they can't go back there until at least 8:30am. Last summer our neighbors right behind us asked us nicely if we would keep our kids inside a bit longer in the morning because their boys like to sleep in (our kids are early risers). We totally respect them for asking us to do that. It just reminds me that we live in the city. All of the houses are close together and there is not much that stays hidden from our neighbors. Asha said later, "I love that we have neighbors so close behind us and all around us." A true city girl - like her Ma Ma!
