Kids Are Awesome

We have some awesome neighbors… sure going to miss them when we leave.  Gavin loves having so many kids nearby to play with.  If only we could get rid of the gnats and mosquitos, I think we'd live outside.  

Shortly after we moved in, The Fary's arrived.  They have three kids, Malcolm, Madeline, and Patrick.  Gavin is obsessed!  He wakes up and goes to sleep talking about them.  Yesterday afternoon, they all worked together to clean Jason's truck and my Yukon.   Not to get paid or anything in return, just because they all wanted to out of the goodness of their hearts.  Like I said, kids are awesome.  They truly rock.  My kids have grown to love the Fary's and I'm not sure what we're gonna do when they aren't two doors down anymore.  I hope Gavin and Stella grow up to be as helpful and respectful as they are.  

Here are some pictures of our day yesterday:

Time for mama's
Earlier in the day he said "Dad, can we wash mama's car for her?  I'll spray and you wipe!"

Hey ... why don't you see if you can take Malcolm and Madeline to New York with you?? :)) Sounds like a couple of wonderful kids! Laughed when I saw Malcolm and Stella playing with the magnifying glass ... glad it made it to you without the tongue breaking off! :) Enjoy your last few weeks at Fort Benning!
Love, Gammy
