We live in a very beautiful neighborhood and have great neighbors. In fact a new family moved in next door recently, the Sokoloffs.
Howard and Cindi have two children, Jared is seventeen, and Marla Lynne is thirteen. The parents seem friendly enough, the son mostly keeps to himself, and the daughter, she's one of the most outgoing children I have ever met.
She's a cute brown-haired girl, about 5'1", 5'2", with blue eyes and a great smile. She's very pleasant and talkative, the only really outgoing member of the Sokoloff family.
Marla Lynn comes over a lot to play with out children, she's even babysat our two younger children a few times. She's a bit of a tomboy, always in jean, t-shirts and flannel shirts, all loose-fitting, and she's also a pretty decent singer.
The girl doesn't just come over to play with our children, Marla Lynne also loves to talk to my wife or me. She says her parents aren't much for talking, and Jared just sulks, missing his friends back in San Francisco.
