Can't believe it has already been two weeks since I visited my little sis Rach in Rio Rico, Arizona...right near the border. It was such a great experience spending time with her, meeting the lovely new addition to her family, Lena, and getting to know little Caleb a little bit better. That kid looks just like rach did at that age...except, his head is a bit bigger :). It was also so good to hear more about Dean's job and to get a better understanding of what he's doing. It was neat to see how good he is to my sister. They are a great team!
Visiting with Rachel was so nice. I'm not sure there is anyone in this world with whom I can talk to and feel so understood, speak freely and not feel judged, and with whom I know I can always be my truest self. Feeling this way is such a gift. When I make a mistake, I know she will always forgive me and always help me be my best. Saying it was refreshing to be with her is an understatement - it had been a while since we were together and being with her rejuvenated me!
Hope you enjoy the pictures. I couldn't believe how perfect little Lenichka was...is. Seriously, the pictures don't even do her justice!
She is so precious!
Please excuse the camera lady. She still doesn't seem to know how to hold a camera upright nor how to refrain from saying weird, annoying things on camera :) How unfortunate for the viewer.
Here is Caleb telling me all about the cows :) Rach and Dean live in an open range area which means that cows roam the area freely...quite freely! This was especially funny when there were 7 of these guys right outside their back door.
Below, Caleb demonstrates several animal sounds...he especially likes doing that while on Dean's back. Though a little camera shy, you can get the idea. He's a pretty funny little guy :).
