The Skillerns

Johnny skating the gap while Dillon looks on.

The other day, the doorbell rang. I am always curious when the doorbell rings, because we never have visitors. I was so, so happy when I opened the door to find Kevin's little skateboarding friend, Johnny and Johnny's friend on the front step. 

Johnny said, "Is, uh.....(leans over to other kid and says, "what's his name again??)" 

I said, "Kevin?"

Johnny: "Uh, yeah, is Kevin there?"

Me: (trying to contain my excitement) "Let me go get him!"

KEVINNNNNNNNNNN! YOUR FRIENDS ARE AT THE DOOR!!!!!

[I have been waiting for this to happen since Kevin met the kids]

Long story short, Johnny and his friends just wanted to skate the gap in our driveway (as seen above).

Kevin went out there and hung out for a while and took a few pictures. 

I know it might not seem like a big deal to most, but the fact that these kids came up to our house and asked to skate on the driveway really meant something special to me. I really hope Kevin and I can pursue relationships with the kids around our neighborhood and just provide a welcoming and loving environment in our home. Shoot, if we're going to live here, we might as well figure out what our purpose is for being here.
