the boys next door

we moved into our house in the summer of 1999. the family next door had two little boys, ages seven and ten.  they used to come over several times everyday and ask if they could swim.  

now they're all grown up and I hardly ever see them.  the boys never come over to ask if they can swim.  over the Christmas break, their mother asked if I would come over and take some family pictures.  one of them did make an appearance at our New Year's Eve party, which made me very happy.  here is a picture of the boys next door.
