It's been a little easier since we've had the boys because they naturally make friends, and then we have more of an opportunity to talk to and become friends with the parents. I've baked stuff and taken it to our closest (in proximity) neighbors at Christmas, and I've also taken dinner to a couple of families when they've had babies. We also hosted a neighborhood barbecue when we lived in East Memphis & that was a lot of fun. You'll have to keep us posted on your endeavors :).Katiehttp://www.abiggerstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751094758518020393.post-91532429610936042292011-03-30T09:59:17.071-05:002011-03-30T09:59:17.071-05:00Sharaze!

We met most of them when they came by wanting to know what construction we were doing on the house and I introduced myself to the rest when I took Autumn trick or treating. We invited all the people on our street to our New Year's party (only two couples came). Not everyone is interested in being "friends" but it really has been fun having neighbors who stop by and wave and ask when the baby is due. And one neighbor is having a baby next month so I'm getting ready to make them a frozen dinner. :D<br /><br />So, Operation Don't Be a Stranger is plugging along, haha.Sharaze Colleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210368068116946461noreply@blogger.com
