Once I had unpacked everyone's luggage, with a tiny bit of help from Tony but he didn't do anything other than whine so I let him entertain the kids. All together it took me about 2 and a half hours to unpack everything. Luckily the house had a lot already in it so we didn't have to take too much luggage.

As I walk down the stairs, I hear a knock at the door so I open it to find 2 people standing on the other side with a basket of what looked like fruit.

"Hello, my name's Isabella and this is Brody, we live next door and we thought we would come and see how you are moving in".

"Hi, my name's Amelia. It's nice to meet you" I say as I shake the blonde-haired woman's hand.

"Come in" I tell them as I move out of the way so they can walk through the doorway.

At that precise moment, Tony walked into the room.

"Michael babe, this is Isabella and Brody from next door" I tell him as I place my arm around his waist.

"Nice to meet you" Tony said as he extended his hand.

"So... is it just you two?" Brody asked as he let go of Tony's hand.

"No, we have 2 kids" I tell them as I lead them towards the kitchen.

"Aww... what are their names?" Amelia asked as she sat down on the edge of the couch.

"We have Tali who just turned 3 and Matthew who is a 4-month-old" Tony said as he sat down next to me and placed his arm around my shoulder.

We talked for a bit longer but then I heard a screeching come from the baby monitor on the coffee table.

"I thought that nap was going to last longer, sorry" I say as I escape out of the living room and run up the stairs towards Matthew's room at the end of the hallway.

I pick him up from his cot and calm him down before walking back downstairs to find our neighbors still there.

"Oh, hey babe" Tony said as I sat back down next to him while holding Matthew in my arm. He was still in his blue and white striped all in one suit and it was adorable.
He kept trying to lift his head so he could see us but couldn't manage it just yet.
"Oh Moteq, al tigedal (Oh baby, don't grow up)" I say quietly chuckle.
"Do you speak another language?" Brody asked.
"Yes, I speak English, Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, French, Pashto, German, Italian, and Russian but I mainly speak Hebrew and English" I explain.
"That's so cool, where were you born?" Isabella asked.
"I was born in Israel, Beersheba to be precise" I answer even though I am still staring at my baby boy who is laying in my arms.
"That's nice" Brody answers.
Then there is silence. Not a comfortable silence either.
It felt like we needed to say something but we didn't know what to say.
Luckily that silence is broken when Tali runs into the house, laughing.
"Aba, Ima!" she screamed as she ran into the living room.
When she noticed Isabella and Brody, she immediately stopped and walked shyly into the room.
"So, this must be Tali" Isabella said as she walked closer to her.
Tali wasn't happy that she was near her so she ran to her father and jumped onto his lap and refused to move from his embrace.
I don't blame her though.
Isabella and Brody are very outgoing and unusual to say the least.

After talking for half an hour, it was time for the Hopkins to leave.
