Our visit with "alela" and "tia pata"

I posted a picture of the cousins the other day, but didn't have much time to write anything. Tia Marta, or "tia pata" as Kateli calls her, and Daniela, or "alela" as Kateli calls her cousin, had just arrived in our home. We were overly excited that they were here and would be here for an entire week. Yesterday was the end of their week with us, and sadly we had to take them both to the airport. Throughout the rest of the afternoon, after they left, Kateli asked several times for "tia pata" and when I would try to explain to her that she and Daniela had gotten in a big plane and flown home, she would look at me a little puzzled; and then she would say "tia pata, peek a boo?" She thought tia Marta and Daniela were hiding, or as she calls it "peek a boo" So, needless to say Kateli was very sad when she couldn't find Tia Marta and Daniela in our house!!

We had a great week with them though; well as great as it could have been, given that we all got a little bit of a cold. I was the worse one off, I think I had a sinus infection. But I toughed it out and opted to do things rather than just sit at home and try to get better. So, we went out to eat a couple of times, we took Kateli to the mall playing area one afternoon, we drove to Edmond to visit with Maria and the kids and we played with the kids a lot when we were indoors. Daniela is such a happy baby, it was so much fun to get to know her a little bit better during the time that they were here. I hope that we can see them again soon; but I've already been warned by Marta that we shouldn't expect them again during the winter months. They will limit their visits to us to warm seasons!! Fair enough!! I have lots and lots of picture that I would love to post but I'll do that later!
