I live on a cup-de-sac, with the BEST neighbors ever. I have another group of neighborhood friends one street over.  They are AWESOME also! IMG_5907We had a little get together last night to say goodbye to one of our favorite families. IMG_5944Every morning Bradley Cooper is greeted by the kids. They love him and he loves them. He is going to miss them a great deal.IMG_5900
