Extended Family

I know I post often how wonderful our neighbors are so back away if you don't want to hear it again.

Saturday, Ellen calls and asks to speak with Isabella. She invited her to go see a movie and then go out to eat afterwards. So, Steve walked Isabella next door yesterday at 1:00 and they told a little fib to Ava about where she was going. heehee I, on the otherhand was suffering from a 24 hour virus - ugh - but, I'm down 2 pounds. :)

Isabella comes home around 7:00 last night and she has the biggest smile on her face. Steve had given her some money and told her that if she wanted something at the movies to pay for it herself - Ellen apparently didn't let her spend her money because she was flashing the money along with her smile. She was so excited she got skittles, hi C and popcorn. Then, she flashes her hands out and they went and got their nails done too. And, to top it off - they went to On The Border and had dinner. She talked about how "fabulous" dinner was and how she had to save room for dessert because they got a brownie sundae. Jenny (JD & Ellens daughter went with them).

I had tears come to my eyes several times yesterday just thinking about how sweet, kinda and blessed we are with our neighbors. They are way more than neighbors to us - they really are extended family members.

Thanks Ellen and Jenny - Isabella had a ball!!!
