Living the Dream

Simple Fun. We've been drawing closer and closer with our new neighbors. We're really blessed that we have some neighbors who approach relationships the same way we do. They are kind and generous and extremely interested in building lasting relationships with one another. We talk of summer barbeques together and have already started a carpool to take the children to the bus stop in the morning. We all seem to get that 'it takes a village' and the enthusiasm for building a life together is genuine and enthusiastic. We came together this Easter to have an Easter egg hunt for the children. We stuffed close to 600 eggs and spread them around the front laws of the cul de' sac and the children had a blast.

One of our neighbors has a blow up water slide for the children she set up yesterday and Kajal was in heaven, riding down it over and over again. We started our day with running through the sprinkler on the back lawn and even that simple pleasure had Kajal laughing with glee.

I had to run my mother to a doctors appointment today and our neighbor with the water slide came by and asked if Kajal could hang out with them while we were out and when I agreed, Kajal jumped for joy, screaming:

I'M LIVING THE DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then she ran off to change into her swimsuit.

How beautiful is that?

    That is very beautiful indeed, I am so glad your "village" is developing - single mommies need them even more that others! I enjoy your blog so much Lisa, thank you for sharing your journey with your lovely, wounded little angel. She is so lucky to have YOU for a mom - did you know you would be so good at healing? I am always very intrigued by her "process" and think you and your mom do an amazing job of reassuring her and helping her to bloom as she was meant to. You are such a blessing to each other.
    Fondly,
    Mom to another precious little Kajal from Mumbai
