It's all about community

So this is the school from where our garage will be. It is about half a block walk, which will be so nice when Grant starts going there. I am sure there will be a house built in that empty lot, but this is the veiw for now.
 Looking South East
 Here you can see Jared is standing about where our porch will be and I am looking East. This will essentially be our front yard.
 This is a veiw looking West. If you are not familiar with Daybreak, this is what is called a green space. It is basically a shared space between houses. Our house will face North but as you can see there is a row of houses on the other side of the grass that faces South. We will all share this grass/yard area.
Some people dont like this idea. Jared and I love this idea for many different reasons. One of the reasons I love this is that my kids can go out front and play without having to worry about any cars. We have met several new neighbors already just from going out and checking the progress on the house. Everytime we are out there it seems we meet someone new. One couple that lives right across the grass from us has a little boy just a few months older than Grayson. I cant wait for them to be able to go out front and play together next summer. Grant has already met a few different boys his age who live really close as well!
This is a veiw from the street looking toward the houses across the grass from where our house will be! (Grayson's new little buddy lives in that yellow house)
