Boys in the Neighborhood

This is Cullen's friend Nathan, who lives down the street. I have been meaning to get a photo of them together for awhile now. Nathan and his mom came over for lunch last week, and I finally took the opportunity. More appropriate would be a photo of them in their strollers though, because Nathan and his mom have been our walking buddies since last November. (Ken actually met them first, while he was out with the dogs one day.)

It is fairly mild here in the winter, so we were able to walk a few times most weeks all winter long. We live in a great neighborhood for walking too. The way it's laid out, you can easily go for over an hour without retracing your steps or being super far from home (this being especially handy when you are strolling a baby). Nathan is 6 months older than Cullen and is a firstborn also, so his mom and I have enjoyed comparing notes, trading coupons and recipes (wow this sounds so domestic but it's true!), and watching these two grow up side by side in their strollers.

These past couple months it has frequently been too hot to walk together, especially since Nathan's mom is pregnant! Due on Christmas eve, and it is another boy :-)
