Smushed: The Neighborly Thing To Do

At the beginning of April we had our first official neighborhood activity, type thingy. We had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. It was really a good thing to do. I felt very neighborly for the first time. We did it with the 2 other families that live closest to us.
We moved into our house at the end of November and then spent the whole winter holed up inside the house. So this was like our official coming out activity. It's been kinda hard for me since we moved here. We moved from the neighborhood we had lived in for more than 12 years. I can tell you who lives in every house in that neighborhood. I can tell you their kids names, pets names, grown children's names, what they all do for a living. What their talents are. Everything. My parents lived in the house I grew up in from the time I was 2 until just 4 years ago. This moving thing has been a big adjustment for me. It was nice to be with our neighbors and know that we are all in the same boat. We are all new. We decided to make the egg hunt an annual event so it is fun to know that we are starting traditions here in our new home with our new friends.





PS: Zac's not in the pictures because he and Steve were out of town. I think they were in Moab, but I can't recall for sure. Guess I should have blogged about it sooner.
