Vamping Up Our Social Lives

Townhome living is fun. We love the social aspect of it. We meet people on our walks, while we're playing in our driveway, and whenever Sassy rudely pulls us over to another dog. Luckily, a new family moved in right across from us and they have an adorable little girl who is 15 months old. She and Topher have already discovered the joy of each other's toys although Leah, I must admit, has more. Her best toy is a Little Tikes castle slide that Topher fell in love with, and which we have been trying to find on Craigslist ever since.

Leah's parents are young and social and a lot of fun to hang out with, and the best part is that after an evening of letting the kids play, we only have a few steps to walk back to our house. It's perfect, and as the weather warms we're meeting new people all the time. There are a few things that a house can offer that a townhome cannot, but we've lived in both and we've honestly never been happier. There will be a time to move on to a "real" house, but not yet. We're quite enjoying this grown-up version of dorm living. You know, minus the communal bathrooms and plus a couple heart-breakingly cute babies.
