The rain finally let up today and Evan and I took the morning to check out our neighborhood. It's fabulous! I like that on a day like today when Jeff needs the car for work, we can walk to places and there is plenty nearby, in case we do want to get out of the house.
First we walked to our library. On the way, we went by the fire station, police station, baseball fields, a playground, about 5 pizza joints, an ice rink, a hockey shop, WaWa, a few hair places, a nice restaurant that serves organic and local foods and an Italian deli. Could we have picked a better neighborhood for us?
After walking about 8 blocks, we arrived at our library. It has an entire floor devoted to kids, with crafts, music, toys, toddler-height computers and books, of course. There were about 25 kids under age 4 running around, and Evan was in heaven. "Fourteen kids!" he exclaimed.
After the library, we stopped by the park for a bit, then at WaWa for some milk. It was a refreshing break from working on the house!

Sounds wonderful - enjoy! The house and yard are beautiful.
It does sound like the perfect neighbourhood for you! We've still not sold our house, have taken it off the market for now, and hope to sell it next spring if the market here improves. I want a neighbourhood just like yours!!! To be able to walk to everything is our goal. :) Enjoy!
Is that the Lower Merion Library on Lancaster Ave? I used to LIVE there when I lived in Haverford.
I wish our local libray had a seperate children's section, but everything is on one floor, and the children's section is just one corner. It's tough having to keep G quiet.
Mama L: no, but I know the one you mean. It's about a 15 minute drive from us.
