It's awesome having older Siblings to visit!

Really,it is!!! 
It's been so much fun hanging out with them. Getting together every so often and just sitting in the living room chatting about when we were younger,and all the funny memories! And basically just anything! Joking back and forth and laughing a LOT! It's been great!
Often if Nelson's  went somewhere on their own  instead of me staying home alone with the kids they'd drop us off at Patricks and we'd  do a lot of lounging on the couches again,:) Of course Alayna needed to be with Patrick!:)
Xander also was quite content sleeping in Patricks arms!:)

Rhoda came to pick me up at Nelson's once  when I was planning to stay the weekend with them,and she let me drive around for a while so that I could get used to the feel of  driving!:) ah! Just a bit nervous!!!! But also excited!

Then later in the week I went with Patricks to State College and again Patrick was teaching me how to drive at the Walmart parkinglot;/ and then I drove home!!! I was sooooo nervous and tense and had Patrick a bit nervous(HA!) but we made it home and was having fun!


He's a great teacher, if it wouldn't have been for him and Rhoda encouraging me and just trusting me I don't know if I would have actually done it,but thanks to them I did!!!,

 Then during the week us sisters would get together again and go shopping! 
Here we are at the sale barn!it was cold but we still had fun together!

Lol! This picture makes me laugh! So we had both kids in the stroller and it was really hard to push and Vanessa thought it was just because of all the weight. So we were all taking turns pushing the stroller making sure to not bump into other people around us since the stroller had a mind of its own and would pull to one side!!! So once it was my turn and I couldn't get it to go in the right direction,I kinda kicked the tires so that they would function right, and that's when I saw that the brakes were on!!!!lol!:)))) so of course we laughed and laughed!

Alayna LOVES shopping or "going to town" as she says,so even she "bought" some stuff at the sale barn. 
Here she is with her purse,pumpkin,and 2little plates, she was quite pleased with her find!

Then their is helping Vanessa with supper, but since this little guy thinks he always has to be held and everybody was busy right then,I laid  him up on the counter and he was happy watching me cut vegetables. At least for a bit...

This little guy is already big enough to sit in his bumbo seat! Crazy!

I'm noticing that this post is kind of weird,because the pictures were all taken at different times. But what I'm trying to say and show is that I've had so much fun living with my older siblings and spending time with them  making a whole bunch of great memories!! They are great and I am so thankful for this opportunity to visit them!
Even though they are great and we've had a great time together, I'm also really looking forward to seeing my other siblings and my parents down in El Salvador, cause I've missed them a lot, and because they are great too! 
So see you guys on Tuesday!~Cecilia

  2. Speaking of the ugly little purse... It's one that I got at grandma Kauffman's sale. I guess I'm a bit sentimental, but it was one she bought in El Salvador the first time she ever went to ES so it was extra special to her. And Alayna kinda claimed it :) loved the pictures ceci! Keep posting now that you're back home, cuz now I'll be the one skiing for updates! :) -Vanessa
