“Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously,
My own.
Never forget, For a single minute:
You didn’t grow under my heart. But in it.”
Beautiful beautiful poem from my friend D’s blog (I had a chance to catch up with my e-mails today - lol) Anyways…
Beautiful friends, beautiful kids, beautiful family, that I’m proud to be a “part” of it! =) -(Yours too Tati!!!!) BTW - I saw Daniel yesterday - it was so nice to have him over!!!!
Its being a week in Brasil...
A week an a half away from our home…
Now that Im done bitching and being frustrated i can share the good things about this trio so far…
Im not even close rested as I would like to be, last night both boys were up until like 3 am, but i guess I just need to rest when I have the chance and give them time to get adapted.
We got some good news – like dad is feeling like 75% better this past two days – he actually went out with Benjamin and played a lot with the boys…
Everytime my dad pops at the door Noah runs to him with wide open arms to hug him and to be held by Vovo boy .
Benjamin had a nice & long talk to dad tonite thruw the camera, he got to show dad all his new toys and games. He is actually playing with a real fishing poll from Vovo boy
Noah hasbeing fantastic when it comes to eat… he also has a few new words – he says
Pirah = Pirate
Tatau = tchau- bye in Portuguese.
I being eating like a pig! Heheh My mom – the one who said all the time over the phone how overweight Im and how much I need to control how much I eat… and ^Im gonna help you diet when u get here^ has being cooking me all kinds of yummie meals… My plates are always so big – you would figure I had nothing to eat in days… but we just eat all day long!!!
Angela – that DVD player was a life saver on the plane! Girl – I dont have words to thank you! I must get one of those when I get back!
M + K – the finger paint and markers mess free were also AWESOME
Dani – I being doing prayer request every service I get to go for Isaacs surgery, Im really sad Im not gonna be there for you guys… I really wish I was, but just keep your peace and faith that everything will go well because our Lord is in control!
Jennie – You were so guide by God when u sent me that e-mail about my dad, because those words have being what is getting me trought this bad weather… God bless ou for that!
Im pretty much done with LOST season 3 – and I ate yummie Mangos like them! LOL

We already saw Tia Sandra, Guga, Kadu, Mariana, S. Rose + hubby, S. Emilia + hubby, most of the friends from chirch, Lis, Daiane, Tia Su, Tio Geroge, all boys and Ana…

So it's raining again
I’m not sure why I’m so frustrated since I got here, I guess its because everything is being going on a diferent direction then what I expected – That is why we should have none… I got to remember this next time.
My dad is not doing very well, he is having way too many reactions from the chemo… he has so many sores in his mouth he cant eat – he is weak and barelly enjoyed the boys since we got here.
His cold freaks me out since his lungs are so debilitated…
My mom is always in function of someone or something else – she is great with the boys, always feedinthis house is g, bathing or changing them… She is also like amaid here…. serving and cleaning after people. This place is always full…
Claudia really upsets me – she thinks I have no consideration and I think the same about her. We being here for 4 days now and the house its being full everyday. I understand she wants to hang out with her boyfriend and Im totally ok with that, but all I seing so far is a very selfish person that has no consideration to anyone. Our parents – I mean forget about it…. if its not convinient for her she wont listen to them, and this is just really sad because I guess its the way she is and I never wanted to see it. She is generous – very much so. I mean she would undress herself to dress someone else – when I talk about selfish its beyond that matter…
Its not about material things – but things we do – or dont do in this case.
I really want some quiet time – let the boys have some time alone with my mom & dad – let them bond a little! Everytime my dad wants to do something with Benjamin there is always someone else involved!
Its freaking cold here – I have not seing any sun – and when we were getting ready to come here all people talked about was how hot and nice was in Brasil. Well, that is no true
Its cold and grey – and I miss my love… and I just had to vent a little…

I screwed up really bad
We get our tickets to Brasil – we leave to Columbus Sunday and Monday to Brasil so here I was happy packing when ….
BLAAAAAHHH!!!! Benjamin’s Brazilian passport is expired!
Man – I felt like an idiot! Dan drove all night to Washington DC in order to be at the embassy 8 am and get Benji’s passport renewed. It was very nice that Mike drove with him - it made me feel more calm the fact he had someone to talk to – share the driving and make him company.
They stopped at our friend sister Marilvia’s house in Maryland for a little nap & shower… They made back around midnight.
We still don’t have the new passport – it should come in the mail within the next 24 hours. I guess I’ll keep on packing!!
It was a long long past 48 hours for all of us

Bowling Saturday for the kids!
Dan made plans with Kip & Tim to take the kids out to bowl! At first Benjamin wasn’t so excited!After Dan & I gave up, Kip with all his patience talked Benjamin on giving it a shot – and of course he enjoyed! =)
i’ll be posting Daniela’s movie soon - dancing - just HILARIOUS!!!!
I loved the shoes!!!! =) Too cute!
Grace - man she is a pro! It was sooo fun to watch!
Isaac was always wipping his bowling bowl with the towel and doing s lot of strikes! =)
Robyn’s funny “spinning” trow and Noah getting a turn too! =)
We had a great time, lunch, dinner, and watching the game later that night. Shannon & Tim came over later for a little bit - They brought us (Dani & I) Guarana! heheh So nice!
i’ll be posting Daniela’s movie soon - dancing - just HILARIOUS!!!!
This was better then a party…
Music of the day:
“…I’m gonna party cause it’s my birthday…We gonna party cause it’s my birthday…” (My version! Lol)
After a lovely time with my family Thursday I went out with the girls Friday night for some desert & drinks at Grand Finale.I had SO much fun – and so did everyone else! =) We had the best food and the best time!!! I think we all got 2 years younger from laughing so much! We even talked about man, politics & religion and still laughed! ( I mean – if you know these woman you know what I’m talking about!)It was awesome to see Melissa – she is already showing a “bump”. I drove with Shelly (thanks for making this a great night!), Dari & Katia, we also meet with Dani, Simone R , Simone M, Nicole, Leslie, Angela & Vanina.Even thou I wrote in bold – NO GIFTS – on the invitation I still got a bunch of gifts, one cooler then the other! But the best party of course was enjoying the girls and having a great time!They kicked us out of the place because even after closed we were not ready to go…– I don’t think they’ll ever take a reservation for a Golan again! lol___________________ * _____________In another note:I just publish a bunch of posts I had on “draft’ – make sure you scroll back and take a look! =)
Girls and their deserts!!!
Sorry to the other girls that I didn’t post pictures of you - it’s probably because I looked a little too funky on them! =oP

Today I’m turning 27
I went to the Y with Dani & kids – we had a great time! Noah is amazing in the water – he impressed me! Diving and “swimming” just like a fish! Very different then Benji that still doesn’t like to get his head wet!
Dan got me a bunch of yummies for my birthday, all my favorites: Cocktail Shrimp, Turtle cheese cake, a regular cake (more for the boys) and my favorite Ice cream! =)
It was a very sweet birthday! =)
He gave the funniest card ever and he managed to get the kids to “sign” another card for me too! So cute!! We had a great family birthday night thing just the four of us! Hmmm I’m so happy! I love my 3 boys so much!
We are SO under the weather…!
Man, I hate being sick!
We were in bed the past 3 days – Dan & I with freaking strap!
That is the nastiest thing an adult can have! I can’t remember when was the last time I felt this way! I thought it was never gonna end! Amy drove me to the Dr because I was so “passing out” and she took care of me, took me to pharmacy, and her mom sent us food. She was incredible! Dani too took Benjamin for the day on my worst day so Dan & I could rest! It’s good to have friends like family!Thanks so much girls!!! =)
Everyday they look more alike
Noah looks more like Benjamin!!! 
They do but they don’t! They are so different but look alike at the same time! Funny
Everyonce in a while Benjamin looks a lot like Fynn (their older brother that unfurtunally we don’t see anymore…)
Cute Noah, his works are much better now! We actually can understand things like:
baba - byebye
te te - cheese
dada - dad
i may sound little yet but the progress has being very noticeble! =) And I’m glad to report!
He felt off the chair the other day - playing pee-ka-boo and hit this month on the table – his little front teeth cut thru his bottom lip! It gace me the goose bumps to take it out - lots of blood!

LOST
I talked to Angela last week about TV shows and she mentioned about Lost – it got me curious so Dan & I decided to give it a try…
Within 3 days we were done with season 1 – We watched over 1000 minutes of TV (Our wuote for the whole year - lol)
Within 3 days we were done with season 1 – We watched over 1000 minutes of TV (Our wuote for the whole year - lol)
Everytime an episode would end Benjamin ran out to us and said :Yeahhh! It’s over!
Then a new one would start and he shouted : Oh noooooo another one!!! LOL
Poor kids! So we are gonna give it a break before starting season 2 (Even thou we are dieing to see) but the kids need family time!
So we had a date…
After ages without going out alone yesterday Mie & Kristen came over to watch the boys so Dan & I could go out alone.
Man! Isn’t that good!?
To know that they are with family is like if they were with Dani or Tati. We really don’t get to relax if they are with a baby sitter!! I’m SO ready to do this in a regular basis! And I absolutelly love that my kids are bonding more and more with family!
We had a nice dinner, and had all kinds of time to talk! And apparently the boys did very good with M + K. =)Thanks again guys!
A hair cut & a chocolate doughnut
Benjamin did so good during his hair cut so I thought he deserved a chocolate doughnut! A Mc Donalds with chocolate on top - that is how he calls it!
Anways… We showered and there was still little pieces of hair here and there so I got the powder and put a little on his back, inside his shirt so they would slip right out.
He turns to me as asks: -Mom, why are you putting sugar on me????
Bwahahahahahaha
Of course I aswered “To make you sweeter honey!” (as if the doughnut wasen’t enought!)And I was thinking would take long before I had this “kind” of posts!
About the hair cut – I’ll give myself a 7 – For someone with no training or experience I think I’m doing a pretty good job on their hair – this was my best so far (makes sense)

A new year already
New years was a blessing! Surrounded by our brothers n sisters IC, in such a connection with our Lord!
Connie and her family received us with so much love and care – So did everyone else too. We were there for like 5 days and it was more and more blessings everyday! =)
The drive was good both ways and we came back today because it’s supposed to snow more tomorrow, so we cut it short! still was all worth it!
Food 24/7 – all kinds of yummy! I eat *SO* much. The kids had a blast! It was a awesome relaxing trip! We didn’t sleep a whole lot but still, after Noah was anointed we absolutely feel the difference in him and Thank God we being able to sleep better every night…
I’m so mad I forgot my camera – it’s like the 3rd or 4th place I go and I forget my camera! Can’t believe it! This time I couldn’t pass it by so I got 2 disposable ones – now I need to develop them! So – pic are coming soon!
