Miss You "Diwan"!

So in January, my little sister Dillan came to live with us. She was on break from school and looking for a job. Not having any luck at home, I convinced her that there were a lot of opportunities in TX. So, she came and within 2 days of being here, she not only found a job, but took a job that was close to our house, so no commute or anything.
Well, I can't believe how fast 3 months goes, because she left yesterday to go back home and then school starts again for her at BYU-I later this month. While she has been here, we have had a lot of fun. It is so nice having family close by and a live-in sister is fun too. She was there to have adult conversation with and helped with cooking, cleaning and watching Harrison. I'm still not sure I am going to adjust quickly to her being gone. But we enjoyed the time we had her and can't wait to see her again. Harrison is still asking where "Diwan" is. He will continue to wait for her to come back I guess.
So, to show Dillan a little more of Houston, I decided to take her downtown to a couple of the parks. We started out at Discovery Green and spent some time walking around and playing there.
(We didn't read the sign about climbing on the art until after Harrison was down)
These are cool sound things and you could hear people in the other one across the way. Harrison was trying to show how strong he was.
Harrison and I talked with Dillan and Richie.

Not only did Dillan find a job while she was here, she also found a boyfriend. Richie is a great guy (and since Harrison seems to have a thing for men, he took right to him as well). This is at Herrman Park.
After Discovery Green, we went to Herrman Park. Climbing tree branches.It was hard to get a picture of the front of Harrison because he was always about 20 ft. ahead of us. Wanting to see the next thing. We enjoyed a nice stroll through the park though.

Longing for a train ride.
Discussing ducks with mommy.
Richie helped him see how to feed the animals. Normally he goes running after them so they run away.
Then he tried out his new lesson and it worked really well.
Then we had to run after the birds in the park.
It was a really fun day! I know I will always remember and be grateful for the time that Dillan was here with our family. Maybe next time she needs a job, she can come back again. For now, we will treasure the memories and the time together and wish Dillan the best of luck out at school! We love you Dill (or "Diwan"-as Harrison likes to call her!)
