We've been in our place for nearly four months and I keep waiting for the "shine" to wear off. But it hasn't and I'm starting to think that we've just stumbled into an amazing place to call home. And today's 1st Annual Block Party really reinforces that!
A few months ago our next door neighbor Kelly started planning a get-together for the neighborhood - the numbered streets of Maynard. Although it was a bit steamy, and a few storms boomed around us, there was a great turn out. We were able to meet new neighbors, hang out with friends, and let the kids play in the street. There were people who had been in the neighborhood their entire lives, newbies like us, a great feast including 30lbs of ribs, a bouncy house, and - Luke's favorite - a visit from the Maynard Fire Department.
Can't wait until the next year!
(And next year I'll try to take more well rounded pictures. We were just all very excited by the big trucks! And how can you resist the joy on his face. Thanks Dawn and Rebecca for a few of these photos)
