The Coolest Neighbors

We have the coolest neighbors. We love them all but our neighbors to the North of us are truly remarkable! They live in the pink Victorian next door. Jack and June McGreggor are like grandparents to all of us. Jack is a crazy CUBS fan who lives and breathes according to the Cubs schedule. June, a retired teacher, is amazing with kids! She is also the most creative and crafty women we know. Often times we sit out on their porch and talk or have happy hour or whatever while the kids play. June is even making BBQ bricket for our demolition day of our basement this Sunday!



Anyway, June has made each of the neighbor kids their own "wimsy" character. She takes a photo of the child and then create a little doll designed just for them. Alaric's is perfect- it's a Cubs player!!!!!!!!She uses baby and kid clothes to create the dolls and makes them special to each person's interest. The shoes on Alaric's doll were his when he was a baby!



Thanks a million June!








Amara is so stinking cute! I wish pictures did her justice. She is just a beautiful baby and she looks just like Alaric did but with brown hair. She's such a big girl! Check out her first time in her Bumbo seat!
