Seba

Two days ago, on September 13, was my nephew Seba’s 10th birthday. He is the oldest of my nephews. Like Pedro and his brother Juan, I haven’t seen Seba in a bit over 4 years, and I miss him a great deal. I hope he had a wonderful birthday and that he enjoyed his gifts. Seba has always been very affectionate and any time my brother Walter e-mails, Seba always sends lots of kisses. He’s also very proud of his new Uncle Tim, even though he hasn’t met him yet. It seems everyone likes Tim, even many of my relatives who only know him from pictures.

Seba is very careful about his toys and keeps certain ones on a shelf that is out of bounds to his friends. He is currently in the 4th grade and is doing well, especially now that he has been able to control his talking. Walter was telling me that he used to talk incessantly in school! Seba loves animals and currently has a dog and a parrot with whom he runs around and plays a lot.

I am really looking forward to seeing Seba again. If it weren’t for all the pictures I’ve been seeing I would probably hardly recognize him because he has grown so much. But then again, looking at a picture of him as a baby and a picture of him a few months ago, it is clear that they are both photos of my nephew Seba.
