We're surrounded

Quite literally we are surrounded by men named Dan.  We have a Dan next door (who is referred to as other Dan) and a Dan across the street (whom we affectionately call Mr. Dan).  We are truly blessed in the neighbor department but the boys LOVE LOVE LOVE Mr. Dan and his sweet bride Nae.  Mr. Dan is outside A LOT as we are and I truly believe the boys think he is their personal playmate.  He was recently laid off and has been home much more these last few weeks.  I am afraid there will be some severe Dan-withdrawals when he goes back to work.

Yesterday we were outside playing when Mr. Dan came home.  Matthew jumped on his bike and rode over and parked at the end of his driveway awaiting his presence.  After a few minutes he rode back over to our house very upset that "Mr. Dan not come outside".  It was cute and within a few more minutes, Mr. Dan did in fact come outside.  Matthew raced over to greet his buddy and his day was complete.
