Brennan and "his girl"

Those of you that have ever been to my house, have probably noticed E*. E is Brennan's best friend, his "girl", the woman he says someday will be his wife. ;) They are adorable together playing legos, building forts, sharing a chair to play SPORE on the computer. E lives just a few houses down, and the days are loooooooong when we are home and she is not. They are adorably inseparable and we thank God that he gave us such great neighbors. E's parents are young like us, super nice, and share similar values (so I know Brennan will not come home to tell me all about the *new words* he learned at their house (rolls eyes)). Last night we had dinner together, and we had a great time. The kids (3 of ours+3 of theirs) played well together and it was a casual time of food and fun. I anticipate many more dinners together in the future, and I am thankful that we live in such a great neighborhood!

Two nights ago, Brennan and E were eating pizza in the backyard, and I noticed that they had a piece of yarn attaching themselves to each other. Each end was tied on one of their fingers. They ate that way, made a fort that way, and even figured out how to swing on the swings while tied to each other. Tomorrow night we find class lists will be posted at school. Even though we have prepped them to the possibility that they might not be in the same class together, I have a feeling there will be tears if they are not in the same class next year. I mean, it will be pretty hard to tie yourself to your best friend, if she is in another classroom. ;) Although...these two kids are pretty inventive. And I have a feeling that they won't let something like a classroom wall break their tie.
