The last two days, especially, we've realized anew just how grateful we are for the great neighbors that we have. Since Reeve has been out of school Thursday and Friday due to parent conferences, he has had lots of time to stay up later, play with his friends, and enjoy the neighborhood.
It is really quite incredible that we have an older girl (7), just next door, who is happy to play with a 4 year old, and a 4th grader down the road who willingly hangs out with a 5 (soon to be 6!) year old. And both of them are incredibly nice, kind, and very good role models for our kids.
So the past few days, lots of time swinging, riding scooters & bikes, visiting neighbors' homes, playing with remote control cars, and even getting a few treats.
Grandpa also helped with the fun -- taking Reeve & Gabi on Thursday for some time swimming, and then Rania had her special day with Grandpa on Friday -- swimming followed by a visit to the aquarium. By the end of the day, Rania just about had to be pried away from "baba." There is raging debate in the Woodward house whether Rania is more of a baba's girl -- or Baba is more of a Rania's grandpa!

This "raging debate" that I didn't even know about. You can tell that Doug wrote this entry (and all other entries for that matter....don't be fooled; it may say Tracy but it may be Doug commenting. If it's quite long, it's probably Doug's comment on your blog. If it's short it's mine.:))
I'm sure glad I wasn't your neighbor before, or I'd have hurt feelings. :)
love you all,

okay, Tracy, thanks for that short comment. so glad to see that your son has got the Asian peace symbol down for all photos. He truly has become Malaysian now. by the way, i have heard about that raging debate, everyone in Portland is talking about it. it's all the rage.
What are the names of your neighborhood kids that Reeve and Gabi play with? That way I could ask them questions about them.
