the cul-de-sac




ever since the weather has gotten a bit cooler and ellory has started walking independently we have been going outside to play in the cul-de-sac. we have quite a few elementary age kids who live near us and they LOVE our children. in fact, everyday around 4pm we hear a knock at the door-"can the kids come out to play?" townsend loves to ride around on his truck or motorcycle and ellory seems to be content to just plop herself down at the end of the driveway and crush dead leaves. i can see right now that physical exercise may not be her passion. marin sits in her stroller or we hold her. one of the neighbors has a wagon and sometimes they give the kids rides. unfortunately, 2 of the little girls who adore ellory went a bit overboard one day-picking her up, giving her hugs, etc. now ellory cries as soon as they come near. i feel bad for them because they want to play with her and she just runs to mama.
