I think I told you all about my husbands best friend Mike and his wife from Russia. Over all very nice people but they have a new baby and she's a first time mom.she buy all organic baby food and only the best clothes from America. They are teaching their daughter to talk Russia , English and also sign language. Poor kid is not even a year old.She's a beautiful baby her name is Maria a name both in Russian & English. Well we figured out a little secret that just dawned on us meeting my oldest daughters teacher.
Mark & I went to pick amanda up at camp awhile back. Mark finally met her I had met her several times she is great with the kids really down to earth.Mark said to me I think I know her. so she came over to chat with us again. Mark said are you so in so's sister? She said yes thats my older sister.they chatted and she remember Mark also. they finished talking about the old times. It was getting late and we were waiting for amanda to get her things Mark smiles at me and says I'll tell you something when we get to the car. I was dying to know. we got in the car we're not even out of the camp drive. I looked at Mark and said what is it? He said you know Amanda's teachers sister? well Mike had a huge crush on her. I said yeah and? he looked at me with a grin and said " do you know what her names is?" I said no he laughed and said Maria. I said no freaking way you mean to tell me he named his daughter after a school girl crush? He said yup!!!
So now we know why Mike loves the name Maria now :) I hear that happens a lot.
