showered with all kinds of toys and things from local businesses. It was nice 
for my parents and baby Nancy, I'm sure, and a little fun for the rest of us.But even aside from the media attention and little toys, we all loved having Nancy from day 1. She's got a lot of spunk, a little stubborn, but a very fun, happy spirit, and seems to love everyone.
She's very artistic, too--wrote a great poem about her baby awhile ago, and she made me a lovely necklace for Christmas. She also made me a matching pair of earrings, but one of my holes has closed up so I'm sadly not able to wear them.
What are my favorite memories of Nancy? Well, I actually shared a room with her twice. Once when she was a newborn. We had been taking turns having our own rooms at that point, but just when it landed on my turn, as I turned 12, Nancy was born and there weren't enough rooms for that any more, so I shared with her. I didn't generally mind, though. I took advantage and practiced my photography skills and other things. Good thing she's photogenic.
The second time was when I was at home waiting for my mission call in 1995. That year again! This was the other end of the year--the beginning. She was an imaginative 9-year-old, and very patient when I had my wisdom teeth out and had to spend lots of time in the room.
Most recently, because I was in Canada for Christmas in 2006, she was in California last Christmas, and I was out here this Christmas, the last time I saw her was at her wedding in the summer of 2006. But we've talked on the phone a few times since then and it's fun to have those conversations, as well as to communication through the myfamily.com site we have.
Now she has a baby of her own, if you can believe that. In the pictures up top, can you tell which one is my sister and which one is my niece? Okay I know one of them is obviously digital, but don't they look alike?
