The people next door...

I never got a chance to experience having a roommate which I always thought seemed really fun. Having the Chamberlains next door is kind of like having 5 roommates. At any given point in the day, it seems at least one Chamberlain is over here and one Swierenga is over at their place. We share kitchen utensils and use each others food and borrow pretty much anything from each other. In fact, I think I still have their ketchup and I am pretty sure Ezra's missing flip flop is in Penny's room. Doug even bought a pool and put in in out backyard for 'US' all to use this summer!!!! It's great. I couldn't imagine a more perfectly suited family to us moving next door. Chloe is pretty much in love with Owen, even though she harasses him. And while she wants to watch Curious George and he wants to watch Diego they always seem to figure it out. Penny and Ezra get along pretty well when Ezra doesn't have her in a headlock. Sophie is the coolest 12 year old I know and is always super helpful with the kids and makes the easiest and best babysitter. Doug and Emily are just plain awesome and we are so happy that live next door. N. Avon street has never been better.

That is the best way to describe it! Roommates next door. WE love it too, so much that we just might have to pray that a certain network casts brandon as a season regular for a that shoots in LA!

Is that selfish?

I love that first picture of all of you guys. It's true! The Chamberlains moving next door to you is pretty much one of the best things that's happened to you guys. You probably can't imagine life without having them there and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. Here's to good friends!

I'm still sad that we don't still live downstairs from the Chamberlains. That was THE BEST!!!!! They are pretty cool.
