Aunt Jodie

12 years ago (while in high school), I had a foreign exchange student from England. Her name is Jodie and we've kept in touch after all these years. She's been to visit nearly every year since Jacob was born. We love having another special "aunt" for the boys. She's taught Jacob and Kyle to speak "like proper English boys" (like saying "football" instead of soccer and "rubbish" instead of trash) and appropriately spoiled them. My children love Jodie and had so much fun taking her to Disneyland (for her first visit). We hope to get over there soon to visit her (trying to rack up those frequent flyer miles!)

One highlight of her visit was when we let her drive our van (it was her first time driving an automatic and on the right side of the road). She did great and ended up driving for 4 hours on our trip home from CA.
