St. Patty's Day Party

We were invited to our first neighborhood party tonight to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Check out our green outfits! The host couple even hired the high school girl across the street and her friend to babysit the kids downstairs. The boys got to hang out with the boys from down the street and we got to meet many of the neighbors.

Unfortunately, we were the youngest people there. But, everyone was great and it was great to meet lots of neighbors and hear about the neighborhood and have them all talk so positively about it. There are tons of kids in this neighborhood, but there are also families with kids in high school, empty nesters, and people who have their post-college age kids living with them and wishing they were empty nesters. But, if we only wanted younger people, we wouldn't be buying a 20 year old house.

So while we weren't able to meet a bunch of new young families, it was great to introduce ourselves to many neighbors and have lots of yummy food. Looking forward to nicer weather and meeting more folks!
