My neighbor directly behind me is Nancy, the retired single lady with a pool that Nathan is going to marry when he gets older. She is also my visiting teacher and she invited me and my family for breakfast last Thurs. morning. When we got there she had the table set with her Christmas dishes, linens, Santa centerpiece, sausage, bacon, waffles, orange juice and raspberry cheesecake hot chocolate with marshmallows! Alex leaned over to me and whispered, "she did it all fancy for us!" I told that to Nancy and she said that she wanted us to feel special. We did feel special!
What a nice thing to do for us!

Nathan and Alex get $5 every Sat. for allowance. They can spend it on whatever they want, so that instead of them asking for everything, we say they can get it with their allowance. Well, they have been great savers! With Nathan's birthday money, he is now at $100! He is very excited and I am very proud of my savers boys, a skill they did not learn from me:)

Todd's sister Tawnya and I are good friends. She moved to Iowa a few years ago, unfortunately, because her husband is going to school there. She got pregnant with her first baby a few months before we got pregnant with Katherine. When she came to visit, she said the name they picked out was Spencer Bradford (Todd's family are direct decendants of William Bradford). I told her the name we had picked out for a boy was Nicholas Bradford. We had a girl and she had a boy. In July when they came out to visit, they called Spencer "Bubba" and we were caling Katherine "bubba", too. She is visiting right now and now she is calling Spencer "Bubs" and we call Katherine "Bubs"! She is now pregnant and one month ahead of me, and we found out we are both having girls. When she got here on Friday I asked her what they are going to name the baby and she said, "Abigail and call her Abby!" That is what we had picked out, too. I guess we'll have cousins with the same name! Her middle name is Lynne but we haven't decided on a middle name yet, but it won't be Lynne. We have it narrowed down to a few but haven't decided yet. Too wierd, huh??

What a wonderful visiting teacher & friend! And with you and Tawnya, great minds think alike, right? I think I'm a descendant of William Bradford, too.
