Ore por mim quando lembrar, estamos precisando (quem nao precisa, sempre, ne?)

an unfinished post…

If I had to describe what I’m feeling in one word it would be exhaustion.


I though long weekends were supposed to be more time to relax… more time to rest – not more tired!

I’m excited about the moving and I’m ok doing all the work in the new house – I’m just exhausted! And I have a feeling it’ll be long before I feel rested!

Friday flew by, I was at the Hospital pretty much the whole day – btw, baby has a name; Angelica! And here is a pic:


I’m just “in love” with her Latina looks - Awesome, hu?

So anyways… it was actually pretty relaxing to be at the hospital all day, but than we didn’t go to sleep until 3 am that nite…

Saturday Dan was working out his bad hangover from Friday (these old people, just not used to party anymore!!!  :oP) and I drove to Columbus to Mara’s with Ben. The service was AMAZING! I can’t tell how many Brazilians were there, I never counted but there were a LOT of them! I got to eat Brazilian style bbq, Benji eat very well too. It felt SO good to be surrounded by brothers and sisters – I actually saw this one lady, her name is Madalena, whom I met in Brasil while visiting my parents! I wrote her a little note saying next time she was in America to come visit me, and it was just so nice to get to see her there too!
I drove back, it’s about 2 hours late at bight, I think we got in about 1 am but still – it was ALL worth it! The friendship – the fellowship it’s just awesome and straightens me so much! I’m so sad I forgot my camera – so I have no pics! M, if you can send yours to me!!
Even though it was busy and tiring it was also such a special time for Benjamin and I – we talked all during the drive back (he slept all the way there) and we just spending time together, sharing lots of laughs.

When I got up Sunday morning all I could think was “oh, TG it’s a 3 days weekend, I still can rest on Monday” lol

Isaac has a birthday this coming week and Sunday was his party! It was SO fun! Not just for the kids but looked like the adults had fun too! =)  The little ones sure spent all kinds of energy! =)

They made a “mud pie” with pudding, Oreo cookies and gummy worms on it (where does Daniela get those ideas? lol)


 * Monica and her “mud pie” * And Isaac’s lovely muddy smile! =)
  
  * Boys having fun! =) Doing what they were born to! 
  

  
 Oh yeah I forgot, Benji gave Isaac his gifta week ago, when he was over! I think Isaac was happier about the money he got to up inside then about the piggy bank itself! lol * I love the “hand on the waist”
  



 * That is it Issac - liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick (sp?) those fingers! Benji concentrated * Noah only wanted to hydrate! 
 
 

 From Sam’s birthday, Noah eating a cup cake * later on: “maaa, get the vaccum, pliiiis!
   

 

  Hey, at least someone at this house is using tha pedals! * Benji loves his “Mr. Conductor’s hat”
   

  Grace, doing great at her gynastics * Buddys hugging! =)
  

* So you see this picture - Oh yeah! lovelly - Noah wants to use the potty!!! He is ready to go without diapers??!!

 Sunday nite Perry cooked this awesome mexican dish I love and I got to have one! =) We watched Narnia! (The first one - What an awesome movie. I’m mad at myself for taking so long to watch it! now I really want to see the 2sd one!
 They also had a cookout on Monday - for Memorial day, and it was so melow and quiet! All we need to finish the long weekend top notch! We eat like crazy and crashed on the couch while the kids ran around and burned out their energy!!
 Because I… I haven’t had energy since Friday… I being working on “auto” mode! =)


Exausta - se eu tivesse que descrever como eu me sinto em uma palavra so, essa seria! Exaustao!!! =] (sorriso amarelo)
Eu to podre, aqui foi feriado hj, segunda, e eu nao descansei nada!
Sexta feira fui no hospital, fiquei la com a minha amiga Melissa o dia todo em trabalho de parto, ainda nao consegui ver o nenem nascer, vim embora so umas horinhas antes. comecei a me sentir mal la, no sentido de que eu estava encomodando sabe, e vim embora, e em mais ou menos uma hora a nenem naceu!!! ai ai ai !!!!
Vai se chamar Angelica! nome bonito, nao?! Eu achei lindinha, com tracos bem latininha, sabe?!
Eu ainda nao fui ver, minha amiga Mel nem ligou e eu nao quero incomodar, mas nao vejo a hora de ver a pimpolha! Ai o Dan saiu sexta a noite, foi ver nosso amigo Kevin que veio visitar aki, veio da California neh e ai nao fomos dormir ate as 3quase 4 da madruga, entao ja viu, o Dan ficou na “resaca” e de mau humor o sabado todo. Eu nao perdi tempo e fui pra Columbus que ia ter culto la, e em portugues… fui na Mara, comi um churrasquinho delicioso, o Benjamin tbm comeu super bem, fomos no culto, com os irmaos e as irmao que sao uns amores viu! Estar no meio do povo de Deus eh uma bencao muito grande e nao tem palavras para descrever o amor!!!
Eles dao uma “forca” para gente que nao tem preco!!! E foi legal tbm porque la encontrei uma irma MAdalena eh o nome dela que eh da mesma comum da minha mae… la no Santa Quiteria! E eu vi ela la porque ela tinha levantado pra testemunhar que tinha vindo para os USA e eu tinha dado um bilhetinho pra ela com o meu endereco em caso ela viesse para ca de novo… entao foi super legal ve-la! =)
Deus eh tao legal, ne? Poderoso, Ele se usa de cada caminho… eh incrivel! A viajem foi tranquila, fui eu e o Ben e apesar de ter sido “tumultuado” la e cansativo eu e ele nos curtimos muito, conversamos, demos muitas risadas… so nos dois! =)
Ai domingo foi aniversario do Isaque, o Amigao do Benjamin…
Foi super legal, num campo de futebol… as criancas amaram, depois fizeram uma “torta de barro” com minhoca de gelatina, muito divertido! Eles usaram pudim de chocolate, ai esmigalharam bolacha negresco e depois tinha jujuba em formato de minhoca sabe… muito joia! =)
A Daniela tem cada idea legal!!! Nao sei daonde ela tira essas coisas malucas!!!
….
termino o resto depois ta?
pois eh Vi - sou eu que tenho que traduzir aqui… nada automatico!!
CLaudia…..
traduz ai pra mim!!!! =))

Good > Bad

A couple things that made me feel BAD this week:

* Yesterday I had to call Dani and let her know I couldn’t watch her kids – when after all it really would not be a problem – I was just overreacting! She is just always there for me and it felt so bad to call out on her with such a short notice.

Also canceled out on Simone in less then a hour to our plans - and again - that just makes me feel like crap! Maybe beucase I hate when people do that to me and/or just because I really care about them…

* Today I missed the actual “birth” of my friend M’s baby; by a couple of hours. I absolutely overreacted again, got extremely overwhelmed and messed up. This really upset me, I am *SO* disappointed but I’m gonna get over it.

Especially because it was about a birth, something that I’m very obsessed about it.

* Now - this is no “bad” but I’m bummed that I haven’t got a time that works for the both of us to take Shay to the new place yet! Let’s try this week girl!

But it makes good to talk about the GOOD, so let’s do it:

* Angela got me excited about the new house, I actually got so see some potential after we walked around getting some ideas and even painted one of the walls. Angela is such a strong woman who has an awesome life story that amazes me! She is always cheering me up, giving me some of the greatest advices, and spreading her positivism all around!

* I’m actually overall happy I got to go to the hospital with M, I’m happy for them that they had a healthy baby girl, 7 lbs, no name yet! I’m so proud of her for doing it pain medication free and very honor that she called and wanted for me to go! =) I did what I could and I just need to remember that!!! I can’t wait to see this baby girl!!

* Our friend Kevin is in town! =) We haven’t seeing him in a while so I’m very excited to get together! Dan is out with him tonite – tomorrow we are heading out of down for the day but Sunday we’ll be back for more! Kevin is the very few of Dan’s friend that had become “my” friend too, when and he first moved to Cali it was sad! - (still is). I’m glad to have a chance to see him and for the boys to once again play with uncle Kev.

* Daia turned 22, we had a great time at her party and met some very fun people

* I just realize more and more each day how much I love my 3 boys, how much they love each other, how much we are DOEOs and DOGs and that get us so close and tight as a strong and happy family. When I look back and see how much we being trough together all I can do is thank God.
I’m addicted to them! My love it’s like Dari said “Unquenchable”.

News

* New blogs - Dan started a blog a couple of weeks ago. I love it!
I loved the idea of a “dad’s blog”. I always love to hear Dan’s opinions, I don’t always agree but he has very good points, a very strong ground and down to earth way of thinking! It’s awesome!
I love to know what he is thinking, about his feelings and view on different occasions.
Also – I started a blog to our BS group. It turned out very cute and practical! It also seems like the girls really embrace the idea and are all for it! =)
* New church - We being going to the church at the Y - Antioch; and we really like it! Most likely we’ll keep on going there even after the moving, we’ll be farer (is that a word?) away but still it’s not a bad drive!
__
Oh, this is not really a news, but it’s way too cute & funny:

Benji: Mom, what is Jesus name again?
Me: What you mean? Jesus? IDK – Jesus! Jesus Christ I guess
B: Yep! That is it – Christ – Jesus Christ
Me - Trying hard not to bust out a big laugh
B starts praying: Thank Jesus for mom… dad… baby Noah… blah blah blah…
…thanks for uncle Mike, Maceo, Kristen and dog “puma” (lol lol lol)
…thanks for Lil Bill’s roller coaster
… thanks for Thomas the baby – and Thomas the train


Entao, eu estava contando como o Dan comecou a escrever um blog! Eu adorei a ideia, sempre achei que ele escreve muito bem e eu adoro ouvir a opiniao dele, sabe. Entaoe stou super empolgada!!!
Nao vou postar o endereco aki porque ele nao quer que certas pessoas vejam, ta?
Eu tbm comecei um blog pra grupo de oracao das mulheres aqui do bairro que eu participo. FIcou bem legal, elas todas adoraram mas nunca mais foram la ehhehe

ah… e eu queria contar aki o Benjamin… nao eh novidade mas eh engracadissimo:

Benjamin: Mae, como eh o nome de Jesus?
Eu: Ue filho, Jesus… Nao sei! Jesus… eh Jesus Cristo eh no Jesus.
B: Issooooooooooo Jesus Cristo… vamos orar para Jesus Cristo ( eu me segurando para nao explodir uma super risada)
Benjamin: Obrigada Jesus pela mae, pelo pai, pelo nenem Noah… bla bla bla…
… obrigada pelo meu tio Mike e o cachorro dele Maceo, a Kristen a o cachorro dela “puma” (mas o noma certo eh KUMA) hehe
… obrigada pela montanha russa do pequeno Bill
… Obrigada pelo Thomas, o nenem e pelo Tomas o trem!!!!
HAHAAHHAHAHAAHAH

Nao sei da onde ele tira essas coisas… me mato de rir!

Yesterday... Oh dear!

I went to KI with the boys on Saturday night; since they opened we go pretty much every Friday and Saturday night; Ben absolutely delights over the fireworks and they usually sleep very well after so much fun. So this past Saturday was no different, we did our other plans for the day and about 6 – 7 pm I headed to KI for a fun night was usual except…

Except…

Dan couldn’t go with us right the way, he had to start a project that night, so I went with the boys first… we get there and Ben was all about riding stuff he had never done before, so I was very excited for him. Luckily we met up with Dani for a few minutes and later on we saw Joanna too; she was able to watch Noah so I could go with Benji to try new rides.

The big deal is that there are no many rides that Noah is allowed and just so much Benji can do alone… anyways…
it was almost time to meet up with dad, I called him a couple of times to ask him to bring us some more water, didn’t get a hold of him… ok, I knew he was coming.
Then, one of those people dressed up as a Nick character came by us – Benji FREAK OUT, he had a panic attack, lost it and wanted to go home. I head out to the front gate to go home, strapped Noah on the stroller, gave him my cell phone to play with (what was I thinking?) so I could hold Ben and calm him down.

He was finally settled and said he wanted to stay and ride Lil Bill once more and watch fireworks (typical) and I said: “Ok, let me call dad and find out his E.A.T.”

… and where’s my phone????

Gone!

I looked everywhere… this family that was closed by me said they saw Noah holding the phone just a few minutes ago, they helped me to look around, the KI guy helped out… I looked and looked and looked at the same time kept my eyes out to see if I saw Dan coming to meet up with us. It got dark… NOTHING!

I then decided, it’s almost 9:15pm, I’m gonna go to “Lost –n- found” – see if it’s there, if not I’ll get someone’s phone and call Dan, seat, watch the fireworks with the boys if I can’t find Dan and go home. I’m sure after 10 he’ll either be parked by my car waiting on us – or at home!
I talked to the guy at LnF, filled up a ‘lost form” and when I turned around here comes dad!!!!!! =)

Yuppppppiiiiiiiiiiiie!!!!

And guess what???? He has my phone!!! =)

He called my phone several times until someone decided to answer (thank you nice Lady!!!!) That was somewhere in the parking lot (don’t ask me how!!!) met up with him to retuned it. Then he thought “when she notices she lost the phone, she’ll go to LnF – so I’ll go there” -and there we were!!! =)
Oh I was *so* happy to see Dan! =) (happy for my phone too, even though I don’t care for the ENV, I was ok going back to my old phone =oP)
We went right out to Lil Bill where Benji had 2 turns with mama, 3 turns with papa, we did bumper cars twice cause Noah loves it and got to watch the fire works from this bench we found on the Nick said that has an AWESOME view and it’s very quiet and not crowded at all! =)

It turned out to be quite a nice family time… I couldn’t believe it – after such a stressed hour… =)

“”Me like happy endings!!!”” (Insert perky face here)



Ai ai ai
esse fim de semana foi meio turbulendo la no parque de diversoes.
Nao sei se vc sabe, mas aqui na nossa cidade tem um parque de diversoes bem pertinho, coisa de 8 minutes. Eh tipo um Hopi Hari, e temos um passe, que da direito a entrada o ano todo! E todas as sextas feiras e sabado a noite eles fazer fogos e tal, muito bonito, o Benjamin adora assistir os fogos..

E temos ido assim no parque ja mais a noite quando nao tem muitas filas, deixamos os meninos brincar, agente ve os fogos e volta pra casa ne… o detalhe: esse sabado o Dan nao pode ir comigo porque tinha que terminar um projeto do trabalho, coisa de uma horinha que silencio que ele precisava aqui em casa, entao eu fui com os meninos e ele foi me encontrar mais tarde.
Eu fui, tava bom, via Dani um teco, ate o a Joaninha la eu vi um pouco tbm, a D segurou o Noah para eu ajudar o Ben a ir nos brinquedos proque ele estava com um ar de aventura, queria ir em todos! grande ou pequeno, alto ou beixo ele tava indo em tudo ( e nem sempre o Noah entra ne, tem muito poucos que o noah pode entrar) ate que deu a hora de encontrar com o Dan..

eu tou indo pro lado do portao de entrada e de repente vem esse bonecao (pessoa fantasiada - pq eh um parque da Nickelodeon entao tem os personagens andando pelo parque) e o Benjamin PANICOU animal, morre de medo desses bonecos de 2 metros de altura - feio que doi. Queria porque queria ir pra casa, e eu coloquei o Noah nocarrinho, amarrei e dei meu celular para distrai-lo (tem que ter bosta na cabeca ne) e fui acalmar o Ben, qdo o Ben tinha acalmado e decidido ficar e tal fui ligar para o Dan porque nessa altura do campeonato achei que ele ja deveria estar no parque, ou pelo menos perto…
Cade meu celular?????????
Uma familia que tava pertinho de mim disse ter visto na mao do Noah, me ajudaram a procurar…
e procuramos, procuramos procuramos e nada!
Ja estava escurecendo e fui no achados e perddidos, pois nao sabia mais o que fazer…
chego la, explico a situacao e eles mandam preencher uma ficha porque recebem muitos celulares no fim do dia e eles entrariam em contato comigo case achassem…

qdo viro as contas e tatataaaaaaaaaa - eh o Dan! E adivinha?
Com o meu celular!!!! =)

Ele ligou varias vezes ate uma senhora atender! (muito obrigada, minha senhora!) Essa mulher disse que o cel tava la no estacionamento tocando e ela atendeu, marcou um lugar com o Dan la no parque para devolver o telefone. Entao o Daniel pensou “qdo ela perceber que perdeu vai no a&p, entaou vou la” e la nos estavamos!!! =)

Ai, fomos na montanha russa de criancas que o Ben queria ir, fomos no carrinho bate bate pro Noah poder ir tbm e ate achamos um lugar especial, semmuita gente a de boa visao para assistir os fogos! Apessar de ter sido uma hora de stress ali achei que anoite foi uma delicia no fim das contas… super familia, so nos 4 nos curtimos muito!
Legal, ne? Adoro qdo a historia tem um final feliz! (Uma carinha aqui com um SUPER sorriso!) .

Update on Noah

Help me grow came again last week. They did another 6 or 7 assessments. Dan took the afternoon off to be here with us. It was great! All tests came out with good results. He does have speech delay, sounds like this mouth muscles are weak, but nothing we can’t fix with some exercising.
He’ll start group therapy 2 hours/week! Not bad, hu? I’m looking forward for the time I’ll spend with him only, having FUN! =)

PORTUGUES:
O programa “Ajudando a crescer” veio aqui em casa de novo a uma semana atrass, reavaliaram o Noah, com 7 testes, e concluiram que ele esta bem – atrasado na fala mas bem! Gracas a Deus! Eles concluiram que os musculos da boca dele sao “fracos”. Entao vamos fazer exercicios como bolhas de sabao, ensina-lo a mastigar, das coisas “borraxudas” para ele comer…
Semana que vem vamos comecar a ir ao um grupo de “fono” com outras criancas da idade dele como mesmo problema (eu nao acho que seja um problema, mas sim um pequeno obstaculo) Ele vai fazer 2 horas de terapia por semana por 6 meses a vamos reavaliar. Estou empolgada para passer essas duas horinhas com ele, so nos dois – nos divertindo!!! =)

Some random things to talk about

I’m pretty behind here, bloguing only like ½ the stuff that is going on around, I know. Its awesome these sunny days – we do so much… then we have so much to blog and no time! Funny! =)

* Man – Didn’t you love getting this Rebate from the government? We got to pay a few bills, get our Bengals season tickets, I hope to get a new dinning table set and have a little left for some fun! =) Good stuff! =)

* Did I tell you guys about my mother’s day?
We had a nice quiet brunch at the W’s house, Mike & Kristen cooked some yummie food. Then for dinner we went out with the FUNSS families/girls.
Dan & the boys made me the cutest handmade card (I need to picture it – with my new camera – that is was my mother’s day gift a few weeks early)

* Sad news for us - Dr. Pam is moving to Chicago! I’m glad for her (and kind of jealous - lol) because I would love to move closer to my family too! And she has an awesome job opportunity there! Even though we’ll miss her dearly I’m happy for her!

* I went out for a few drinks with Angela a couple Friday’s ago and I remember now WHY I don’t drink! Man – It was fun – funfunfun I laughed my insides out… later I barfed my insides out! lol

* Every once in a while a do those paid studies, ykwita? You go there, see something or use something, talk about and get a check, go back home. Now I signed up to this new company that is GREAT. They call or e-mail with questions, upon approval they’ll MAIL me a product, I’ll use – answer an on line survey and in a few week – a check is on the mail!!!! How cool is that? With this CRAZY gas prices – this can’t be beat!!! =)
Interested? – I don’t have a phone number for this company – but I can refer you to them if you would like me to!



Falando de uma porcao de coisas, nada a ver…
Se esta chovendo ou frio nao fazemos nada, ai nao tem muito o que escrever… se esta gostoso la fora temos um montao de coisas para contar, mas ai esta calor e os meninos querem brincar la fora, ai nao sobra tempo para escrever ehhee vai entender, ne?
*Sabe que o governo americano mandou um check para todo mundo esse ano? Para ajudar na economia? $300 por crianca e $600 para cada adulto!!! Nossa, nos amamos! Pagamos uma porcao de continhas, acabei comprando o pass̩ para os jogos de futebol americano que o Dan gosta (pois tava sem grana para comprar esse ano) ele ja tem todo ano por 4 anos, estava triste Рagora esta contente!
Quero ver se compro uma mesa para sala de jantar e quardo um pouco para diversao – para ir pro Brasil!!! =)

* Eu contei o que que eu fiz no dia das maes? Fomos tomar um café da manha/almoco na casa da mae da Kristen, ela e o Mike cozinharam, foi bem gostoso e depois na janta fomos num restaurante mexicano com as “familias unidas nao sentem saudades” e mae nao pagava aquela noite!!! Ganhei um cartao lindo feito a mao pelo Dan e os meninos, agora preciso usar a maquina fotografica que eu ganhei – tirar fotos e postar aqui ne?

(Vixe - nao consigo mudar a cor do paragrafo seguinte!!!!)
* E uma noticia ruim, a Dr. Pamela vai mudar para Chicago! Quer dizer, triste para nos, mas estou feliz (e morrendo de inveja) porque ela esta mudando para perto da familia, com os netos e uma super oportunidade de emprego! Entao no fundo no fundo estou feliz por ela, mesmo sabendo que vamos sentir muita falta!!! J

* Sai com a minha amiga Angela outro dia para lever a Daiane para passear, tomei um martini e pronto! Lembrei porque que eu nao bebo! Hahah. Passei mal para caramba, com uma enxaqueca do caramba, um super mal estar com o estomago todo emborlado!!! CREDO!

* Sabe como de vez enquando eu faco aquele estudos para dar a minha opiniao? Eu vou numa empresa, eles fazem uma porcao de perguntas, ou mostram opcoes de produtos novos, coisas assim… e agente fala pacas e depois ganha um cheque bem joinha?

Eu adoro fazer esses estudos – ou seja la como se chama… Dar minha opiniao! Agora eu achei essa empresa aqui eh eh demais! Eles me ligam, fazem perguntas – se eu for aprovada eles mandam um produto para eu “testar” – absorvente, papel toalha, fralda.. sei la – Uma porcao de coisas diferentes, eu uso – por 2 semanas… eles mandam o produto pelo correio, no fim de duas semanas eu vou na net e respondo as perguntas sobre o que eu ahcei de produto – uns dias depois chega CHEQUE PELO CORREIO!!! Nao neh demais? Com a gasoline carissima da maneira que esta nada melhor que isso, ne????

So - we are moving and I'm going NUTS!

So, let tell ya, I’m freaking out. It’s freaking 3 in the morning, I being awake to whole night even though I had a exhausting day and my body it’s tired.

I’m so overwhelmed with the moving. Good thing I lost my contact lenses because my glasses king of hide my swollen eyes from crying for 3 days. I didn’t want to post here because my mom reads this blog, but what the heck? I just won’t do this part of this post in Portuguese, that is all.

The new house is ok, there are good and bad things, and that is ALWAYS gonna happen if you compare something, and I know no place it’s perfect. I love the location, it’s just the best place to be (specially with gas prices so high, we’ll be in the middle of everything) Mason has great schools in case we decided not to homeschool, at the same time the kids will not have nearly as much freedom as they have here, they can play in the front and back yard so freely because it’s a calm neighborhood, no traffic expect people that leaves here and drive slow… and man – there’s so much space and so many friends.

I love love love our neighbors, I feel like I’m among family here, Ben has so many friends, Noah has friends… Dan – Me! Good friends. – so close!

I never thought I was even gonna say this but I’m AFRAID of making new friends at this new place – I’m afraid I’m not gonna like it, I’m not gonna be nice… I’m not gonna be ok.

I trust God, I trust His plans – I REALLY do, and I’m sure we are gonna be fine, we are still gonna be happy, a family full of love, but as off right now I’m hyperventilating!!!!

The new house has many positive things; it has more bedrooms, more bathrooms, the basement it’s nicer, and it’s a great price!!! What can beat that? The owner was so nice, he did everything we asked, the backyard fence, he even got as a box of BAKALAV!!! ( I now it’s because the market it’s horrible) but still!!!

And all I can think of it’s the “bad thing” the downs… what we are loosing, what is missing…

I literally gained 10 pounds this past 2 week – TEN POUNDS! My face has more zits than a teenager; I can’t sleep – I being a negative and petty person and that just feel like I’m out of my skin! This is not who I’m.

I always look at the good things, at the blessings!!! Always turn out to the positive.

I being looking for comfort where there’s not! I eat, and eat and eat. I want to sleep all day, Iw ant me time, go out and find a job, or go back to school… Here I being such a disconnected mother to my boys this past couple of days and here I’m thinking of having another baby – for MY comfort only – how selfish!!!

And why am I so angry at God right now? I have NO reason for it.

If I know He has a plane, He is with us on this as He has given us confirmations – daily,. And we are healthy, happy (ykwim), we have everything we need and way more… and we have NO reason to complain! I know He is with me but I the same time I feel as He let me know – and I dare myself so say something like that!!!

I want my mom! I want my mom to hold me! To tell me everything it’s gonna be ok!!!

I’m done complaining. It’s 5 am and I’m getting so tired… the boys will be up soon, and I’ll have a long day….

Entao,

Nos vamos mudar, ne? Ja assinamos a papelada e se Deus quiser em julho nos mudamos. Eu estou uma pilha de nervos. O bairro eh bom, mas eu nao estou bem. So nao consigo ficar em paz com essa casa.


A casa eh o mesmo tamnho da nossa casa agora, mas em diferente distribuicao, entao nossos moveis mesmo nao vao caber la. Muitas diferencas, coisas boas e coisas ruins… mas eh claro que agora eu so consigo concentrar nas ruins.!
Eu sei que Deus tem um plano, e que eh o melhor para nos, mas mesmo assim estou “triste” com os planos d’Ele. Eu quero ficar em paz e confiar no Senhor. Nao temos NENHUMA motivo para reclamar. Temos saude, amor - uma familia perfeita! E eu me sinto muito mal de reclamar… pois sou muito abencoada e ao memso tempo estou super pra baixo com isso tudo.
O dono tem sido um amor, mandou colocar a grade no jardim como pedimos, ate comprou uma caixa de bakalavas para nos! Acredita? Sei que o Mercado esta ruim mas mesmo assim… ele tem sido muito joia desde o comeco!

Foi tudo muito rapido e muitas mudancas… eu estou super anciosa e nervosa… estou totalmente desconectada da minha familia, dos meninos e do Dan. So quero comer, dorimir… nao consigo me concentrar em nada!

Manheeeeeeeee – eu quero colooo!!!!

Another big first

Benjamin went to the dentist for a cleaning today. A little crying but great for his first time! =)
No cavities or problems! =)
Goodie bag in the end of it and way more excited to brush teeth now! Cool



O Benjamin fez limpeza nos dentes hoje, foi a primeira vez! Deu uma reclamadinha mas nada serio! Fiquei muito feliz pois se comportou bem. =)
Nenhuma carie, nenhum problema ate agora! Gracas a Deus!
Achei demais a ideia do oculos de sol para a luz nao ir na cara! no fim ganhou um saquinho cheio de surpresas! =) Ele ficou super feliz!

The word today is: SORE

This week I did 2 hours of fencing lesson. It’s being 2 days and I still can’t walk right. Lifting my arms hurts SO bad! (the sword it’s not heavy -we just keep it UP the whole time) -Going up and down the stairs it’s a nightmare – lol
Sill I’m so glad I did and I plan on sticking with it.

It’s a different sport - all about speed, can’t be boring if you are not into it. But I like it!

There are no girls; only me (this week a friend came along). It’s very exciting that I actually got to use the swords, fight and all. I personally thing I did very well for starts.

I did get one in my stomach that got me out of breath! Lol

It’s great exercise… I pain in places of my body I never knew I had!!!!
Can’t wait until next class!!! (I mean, if I can walk by then!)

A weekend of firsts

 So, Noah founded outhe can get into the washer… and on top of the over door!!! *Heart attack here* - And to answer your first question after looking at this pic *YES - WE DO HAVE A LOCK ON IT!*   
 Noah and Thomas had a plesant and CALM (believe me or not) afternoon! =)
 

 Noah first time riding by himself!!! (He has done the Lazy Town helicopter and Scobydoo with us) he loved loved loved - cried because he didn’t want to leave! 
 
 Ben enjoy this ride a lot! Him and Isaac went like 7 or 8 times…

 And I had a lot of fun “swaping” kids for rides! =) Grace and I did the “Scrambler” and a bunch of other rides i don’t quite remember the names…
 Grace, Isaac and I took a nice “shower’ on the kids water ride! =oP
