It’s being a while since I had time to write – I probably won’t remember half of the things that happened this past couple of week, but at least the most important ones will be recorded!
* We had a visit to the zoo with the bible study group and kids to do a egg hunt but after walking all around Benji and Jessica felt asleep and never got to do the egg hunt!
* Lilly, Derek and the kids came for Easter, we already had plans for Sunday so Samantha stayed with the kids on Saturday so Dan & I + Lilly & Derek could hang out Saturday night and we had a very nice time. * Easter Sunday was fun. There was an awesome service at Lifeland. Dan cooked this awesome meal; he stuffed pork two different ways; one with Fresh Mozzarella, Basil and Roma Tomatoes (OMG!!!) and the other with a Spinach Paste he made up, Cheese and some other seasonings… We also had some Italian Sausage, and some sort of beef on the grill (That tasted very much like a Brazilian cut), all that with Vinagrette and rice “the perfect combination”. For he grand finale we had some Maracuja Mousse spread on this delicious white cake with coconut! (Dear, I gained 5 #s just thinking about it!) * Not sure if I already said that but Noah is cruising around very well and fast too. Standing up by himself, clapping, dances on sound of music
* Benji is finally done with pacifiers – he now can se them and still be ok. Now that is over it doesn’t feel like it was that hard. Very much into sports, outside (and frustrated with the weather), books and trains. Just got another couple molars (ouch!) and talking like a parrot! I’m introducing more and more words in Portuguese daily. Sleeping good 10 hours *alone* in his bed! Using the potty occasionally.
* I finished watching the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy and surprisingly I enjoyed it! Now I started reading “Finding God in the Lord of the Rings” by Kurt Bruner & Jim Ware Other books to finish are:
Free at last by Larry Huch
Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn
Bringing up boys by James Dobson
My brother’s keepers by McCormick
Hold onto your kids by Gordon & Mate M.D
* My dad, Claudia and Tia Sandra meet with my 2 uncles and grandfather for the first time and it sounds like they got along very well – It made very happy; this was something I always wanted to happen and even thou I was sad for not being there I was really please to hear how well it went. * We worked on *some* of our landscaping – there’s still lots to be done around the house and the deck but the front it’s looking pretty sharp! I’m very pleased. Tim and Dan worked on past Tuesday and Tim worked alone for another 4 days…
* We went to the Y at the pool with some Brazilians, Katie meet us there w/ Sage and the twins. Benji is just in love with the pool and it’s pretty neat to watch! Katie looks so good – she is due anytime and her belly it’s just awesome! We are excited to see that baby’s face!
* Talking about babies – Isabella is here!! She came on 04/04 - Congratis guys!
* Melissa B. is pregnant!!!
* I drove both boys and me to Perdue and back last Saturday, it took me about 7 hours total (Man – I was tired) for a Brazilian service – that by His grace was pouring His good promises! (Dan 3)
And soon pictures from the past couple of weeks!
