My little brother, Ian (trying to look cool lol). He's 11, will be 12 in November I think. He's pretty annoying, but usually I am ok with that, because I've never had an annoying brother before. I feel kind of bad for him too. I get the sense that sometimes he feels left out because, well first of all, he doesn't live with his own parents (don't know the story on that), and also I think he might feel that my host mom is more interested in her 20-something daughters and foreign exchange students and her granddaughter than in him. I think sometimes she is. Anyway, he mostly just wants to use my computer or look at my American stuff. He really liked my navy blue bandana, so I gave it to him, and he gave me his favorite baseball card (rookie card for a Seattle player) in return, even though I told him he didn't have too. He also was really excited once because I gave him an American dollar.



My host-neice Amanda, chillin' in her grandparents' bed and watching tv while my host mom cooks lunch. hahaha.




And Sarai. This picture is from a couple weeks ago when it was colder, hence the hopping around in her sleeping bag. Haha. But I don't think I've posted a picture of her, so there it is. I thought it fit in well with the picture of Amanda. lol
