When James’ best friend came to visit one weekend, it was love at first sight when he met Erin’s best friend and they were married six months later!  Our daughter thinks of them as another aunt and uncle.  When we go out for a date night, normally Erin’s parents or our friends will baby-sit, so we never worry about the care our daughter receives.

We have a daughter who is now three, and so our house has gone through some initial preparatory changes to bring a new child into our lives.  It’s a two-story house with all three bedrooms and music room upstairs.  The downstairs contains the kitchen, living room, and dining room.  Our neighborhood is your typical residential neighborhood that includes a park and small playground a few blocks away from where we live.  We are also located a mile away from a community pool and large playground.  More importantly, we are lucky that our neighborhood has not had any issues of crime, and we picked a house which is not a main thoroughfare through the neighborhood, so the traffic is minimal.
