It's a Small World...

We got new neighbors. Being in corporate housing you don't know what to expect when new people are moving in. The people that were there (we are in a duplex - so this is the attached unit)were three or four guys that come home in the evening and smoke and drink. They were nice enough - we spoke to them a few times, but we always felt like we were disturbing them. Not that anyone was doing anything, but come on, I live with five guys. Frequently, to be heard you have to be LOUDER than they are - so it makes for a loud house.

So, our new neighbors moved in while we were in Arkansas last weekend. Monday, after running errands, I met the mother. It is a family - Dad, Mom, a seven year old boy, five year old girl and 18 month old boy (named DREW!!). The seven year old is autistic, so the boys don't really get to play with him, but the little girl - WOW she can talk (and very loud). Andrew and Drew actually play well together (they both suck the thumb on the same hand - SO cute). What is really ironic is that they are from Maumelle, Arkansas - which is where Paul worked (hence, the small world).

I don't feel as bad about the noise level over on our side now, but still would LOVE it to be quieter!!
