Five Little Friends

When we moved to our new neighborhood we were delighted to find that we were living on a street full of boys. Packer, Holland, and Cannon could each walk one house north, south, east or west to find another boy their age. The one thing our street didn’t have was girls. There must have been something in the water, because every house had a family full of boys.

When we learned that Harper was on her way, we were curious how she would survive on a street full of boys. Who would she play with? Would she be forced into being a tomboy?

Well again, there must have been something in the water. All of a sudden there was an invasion of little girls. Within 2 weeks, 5 baby girls were born within walking distance of our house. Harper must have pulled some strings in heaven because what was once an all boys street now has pink woven throughout it. Harper has her playgroup all worked out. One family insisted that we do a photo session with Harper and their little girl Cami. They are just a few days apart and sure to be lifelong friends. We need to have a photo shoot with all five girls!

The boys had better watch their turf, because the girls are back in town!

Dear Baby Princess Harper Afton: This is Grandma Brown from New Zealand. You are a beautiful Angel. I love you very much and ache to hold you in my arms. You are a sweet blessing to our family. Please don't get too big before we get to see and hug you. We understand that you already have 4 best girl friends. What fun you will have with them playing with dolls, dress ups, tea parties, and beauty shop.
But always remember that your very best friends are boys - your loving brothers: Packer, Holland and Cannon.
I love you very much. Grandma Brown
