My baby sister...


So this is my baby sister Vaiala Lealofi.  She turns 3 in December. She is the funniest sister that I ever had!  When she first came home, it was during my last year of junior college back home.  So I spent my whole Christmas break taking care of her before I left for college here in California.  So basically, I'm missing her grow up.  Every time I talk with my family back home, I hear stories of how she's growing up so fast and how smart she is.  She started talking at 1 and knew both the ABCs and the Samoan alphabet by the age of 2.  And now, she speaks fluent Samoan and is such a joy to my family.  

I miss her so much.  My mom told me this one story that when she was getting in trouble for beating up another kid, my dad told her to come into the room so he can talk to her and so she says to my dad in Samoan "hold on dad, let me go caca!" minutes later she comes out of the bathroom and says in Samoan "hold on dad, let me wash my hands!"... after that, she comes out and says to my dad "what is it dad? what do you want? i'm coloring.. hurry up!" 

It's crazy how fast kids grow up.  It felt like last year I was only 20 and now I'm 23!  But, I'm grateful that God has blessed me and my family with this little one.  I just pray that she grows up to be a woman of God and that God uses her in a mighty way.  I can only say so much... you have to meet her to know what I'm talking about! :) Overall, she's a bundle of joy! I love you Vaiala!
