Shaun and I decided to take a short trip down to California to visit family, before we loose all our free time. It was a great drive down to Cali, and I had the chance to spend lots of time with my baby sister, Katelyn, who will be turning 3 years old this year. My how time has gone by since the day she was born. I was a few weeks away from graduating high school when she was born and left for college a month after she was born. This was not easy for me at all because there is something about having a new sibling enter your family when you, are at an older age. There is a different kind of bond that is formed. I love her to death and she really bring sunshine to my day and I can not wait to have children and be a mommy, because Katelyn has given me a small glimpse into what it is like to be a mommy. I remember when she was brand new and came home, I asked if she could sleep in my room for the night while my mom caught up on sleep. I learned a lot in that one night. I am grateful for children in our lives and the simple lessons they teach to us. They are so innocent and knowledgeable. She has grown up so fast, and she has become a very intelligent little girl. It is amazing the things that come out of her mouth, and the things she does. Whenever I have been at my parents house since our visit here, she just follows me around. I love it! I am so happy she know who I am and that she wants to spend time with me. I took her down to Santa Clarita with me to meet my friend for lunch because she didn't want me to leave without her. It was fun to have a day out with Katelyn and I am grateful that my friend also wanted to see her and didnt mind her coming. It was a fabulous day and of course I spoiled her, and loved listening to the funny things she had to say.
That's the cutest thing. Alyssa, you will be an amazing mother for sure! I am glad you got to spend some time with the family. That's always great fun.
