Silvia was in PA on her way to a conference in NJ and was soooo kind and thoughtful to come in a few days early to spend with her favorite American niece and nephew (and American sister). It was so great because she just jumped in to our day to day life. Julia and Andrew are crazy about her (and so am I). She and Julia have had a special bond ever since she was born. When we visited OH over the summer, I walked into our room and they were just laying on the bed talking and stayed there for quite some time, just enjoying each other. It is a blessing to have such a strong Christian infuence in her life, and boy do they have fun together too (along with Crazy Uncle J)! Oh, and Andrew just thinks that she is a human toy! And Silvia and I never run out of things to talk about; she really is like a sister to me. We are so comfortable around each other and enjoy talking about our faith and "crafty, artsy things" together.
These pictures are taken at a really cool road side stand a couple of blocks up the street. I have to share that I got that HUGE yellow mum behind Silvia, for $4. I felt like I was stealing.
