We got to head over to Clinton to see the Kennedy's new house this afternoon/evening! (We'd have totally crashed their place before they were even settled last weekend, but they were spared by Cora and I being at camp.)
Their new neighborhood is pretty and kid-friendly (and very close to the schools - bonus!) and their house backs up to some really great green space between neighborhoods. We love their new place (and especially their giant deck surrounding a gorgeous old oak tree - we foresee plenty of gatherings there, we hope!) and are happy for them to have made the move they craved/needed. BUT OH HOW WE'RE GOING TO MISS THEM being practically around the corner from us! Cora threw quite the embarrassing fit when it was time to leave (luckily, the Kennedys are like family to us, so we weren't actually embarrassed - they know exactly what to expect from our kids, most of the time...), Lauren said she didn't want Cora to go, and Will offered to carry her to the car for us (ha!)
This is all still very new to the kids (and us adults!) and it will just take some time to adjust. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, right? (And now I can lament that ALL my best friends live in different towns/states than me - wah!)
The girls spent their time playing dress-up, and Elsa & Anna, and mama & babies, and dancing, while the boys played with swords and Legos and Minecraft (it's an obsession!)
