First, congratulations on the new L. I, too, recently got a 70-200 f/4.
Next, I\'d get glass first, and save for a new body; you\'re going to want something wider than 50mm for street photography and chasing the kids. The 17-55 IS isn\'t cheap (it costs more than some L lenses), but it\'s an excellent lens.
A 28-135 came with my 7D, so the gap between the 17-55 and the 70-200 is covered when the light is good, but if I didn\'t have it I don\'t think I\'d miss it.
Canon should be releasing some new bodies later this year or early next year, so getting your lenses in order now while saving for a new body seems to me to be your best option.
