I got a new cousin. Her name is Alexia Cathrine Seefeldt. She was born on the 26th of December and we are going to visit her. I call her 'little sister'. We're leaveing at 7:00 am because it's four hour drive, and my uncle wants to take me shopping for my birthday present. The bad news is, that a flu is going around up here and hospitalizing people. My mom has a headache and a sore throat. I think she's imagining it because she said if she got sick, she wasn't going.

I need to meet little sister. I haven't even seen her, but I feel really close to her already. It's kinda wierd.

I wonder if mom will let me drive down. I doubt it. This sucks, I don't even know if I'll see them.
