Friends in the courtyard

One of the biggest challenges for the kids has been the adjustment to not having a yard to run around in. Even during our stay in Fort Worth, we had a yard with plenty of grass and trees. But the Father has been gracious in this as well. Our apartment complex has a great open-air lobby as well as some green space in the courtyard. Noah has recently met a group of boys who play together after school. We couldn't imagine letting him "go down" when we first moved here; in fact, we told him no for the first few times he was invited. We have discovered, though, that these are great opportunities for him to build relationships. They have taught him how to play cricket and even affirmed him in his pitching. :) Below are a few pictures of Noah being Noah. See if you can pick him out of the group!
