The Joy of Neighbors, The Blessing of Friends

One of the great joys of living where we do is that we have dear neighbors. Jen and Eric are friends from church and they live just a one minute walk away. We tend to see each other often, but we especially look forward to visiting with them on Sunday evenings. Jen is expecting her seventh child in a few months. Their large family means that Belle has a handy reserve of friends to play with. Our friends, Belle's friends -- the Penrods are a blessing in our lives.
