This past week…
We have had a busy past few days; I guess we are always busy! =oP (I feel like I have said this in every post this summer - but it’s true!) Still they were very enjoyable days!
One cool thing about the place we live is that during the spring/summer/fall our street gets together pretty much every Friday and Saturday nights… and the party goes until you have energy… it’s usually a lot of fun! So even when we have no plans for the weekends we do!!! We end up hanging out with our neighbors!
Saturday was SO nice to get together with Shay and her fam to celebrate her birthday! We had a very nice time! We also got to go to KI with them on Monday and we stay all the way to Fireworks. Dan met us there after work and kids, of course, had a blast! =)
It was awesome to see Lane “grow out” from the “Nick” side to the bigger rides! (Especially cause I got to ride some decent rides – lol)
Sunday after church we went out for lunch with the Dani, Kip & kids to say good-bye, since they are living to Brasil for quite a long time! Dani is so cute; she wanted the kids to spend as much time as possible together so they would “stay connected” She was afraid Benji was gonna forget about Isaac & Grace! Imagine that!!!! =) *We’ll definitely miss them!*
Today Angela and I went out to the new house and finished painting the kitchen & dinning room – it’s amazing what a coat of paint can do! =)
Can’t tell you the about of weight it’s off my shoulders for having this done (long story – I’ll write about it in a couple of wks)
Not sure when I’ll get to blog again! (I have a ton of pics to post too) We’ll be heading out of town of a couple of days and I’m not sure if we’ll have Internet access.
I have so much I want to blog about…
Benji has this amazing imagination; his creations just blow me away!
Noah is starting to talk more and more.
They are such good friends, they play together 75% of the day and it’s just beautiful to watch!
Benji has being BAGING! Everyday to go to school, I don’t think we are gonna homeschool, at least not for now. He is so seeking so bad for the companionship and the “teacher” figure. I know 2 co-ops close by that would very well sooth this needs at this time, when “mama is no fun to be a teacher” but with the moving and so much going on for us I have no brain to think off it all. I think we need to be well settle before I can dedicate decent time to his needs. So most likely he’ll be in pre-school this coming fall and I’m content about that.
We resumed TV time to nothing; they maybe get an hour or so at night, maybe an hour in the morning. Dan & I don’t watch anything but Hell’s Kitchen – and that will be over soon…
Dan & I started watching him last night and the amount of energy he still had in the end of the day.
Man! I’m absolutely overwhelmed with all the changes happening (and they are happening fast!)
I have so many things to do and at the same time I don’t want to put my kids thru a “confinement” (is that the right word?) while is such a beautiful weather outside and they have all this energy they have!
And God is just so awesome - he has kept me “together” everytime I’m about to fall apart all this time!
I have so much to say/blog… and so little time.
Maybe I’ll do a voice recorded blog for a while – lol!
A few pics: (Shay, send me the ones from KI when u have a chance pls!)
Benji Lane play so well together * Shay & Noah
What? Is cheesecake? Let’s go eat!!!! (I can’t believe I actually just published this picture of myself! I’m nuts!)
Nós temos andado muito ocupados. Eu acho que nós sempre estamos ocupados! =o (Eu sinto como se tivesse dito isso todos os dias nesse verão – mas é verdade!) Ainda sim tivemos dias aproveitáveis!
Uma coisa legal do lugar de onde agente mora é que durante a primavera/ verão/outono o pessoal da nossa rua ficam juntos todas as noites de sábado e domingo… e a festa vai até você ter energia… a maioria das vezes é muito divertido! Então mesmo que a gente não tenha planos para os finais de semana nós temos!! Nós terminamos saindo com os vizinhos!
Sábado foi bom ver a Shay e sua familia para celebrar seu aniversário!Nós tivemos um dia muito bom!Nós também fomos ao KI com eles na segunda e ficarmos pra ver os fogos.Dan nos encontrou depois do trabalho e as crianças, claro, se divertiram pacas! =)
Foi legal ver a Lane ‘’crescer’’ do ‘’Nick’’ para montanhas maiores! (Especialmente porque eu consegui andar nos brinquedos maiores – haha)
Domingo depois da igreja nós saímos para o almoço com Dani, Kip & crianças para dizer tchau porque eles vão pro Brasil por um tempao! A Dani é tão fofa, ela queria que as crianças passassem o maior tempo possível juntos para ficarem “conectados’’.Ela estava com medo de que Benji fosse esquecer do Isaac & da Grace! Imagine isso! =) * nós vamos definitivamente sentir saudades deles! *
Hoje Angela e eu fomos na casa nova e terminamos de pintar a cozinha e a sala de jantar – é incrível o que um pouco de tinta pode fazer! =)
Não posso te falar do peso que saiu dos meus ombros por terminar isso (história longa – eu vou escrever sobre isso em algumas semanas)
Não tenho certeza de quando eu vou blogar de novo! ( eu tenho uma tonelada de fotos para colocar também ) Nos vamos para Kentuky que tem culto em portugues e eu não tenho certeza se vamos ter acesso à internet.
Eu tenho tanta coisa para escrever…
Benji tem essa imaginação incrível; suas criações me imprecionam!
Noah está começando a falar mais e mais.
Eles são tão amigos, eles brincam juntos 75% do dia e é lindo assistir!
Benji está IMPLORANDO todo o santo dia para ir para a escola, eu não acho que vamos ter aula em casa nao, pelo menos por enquanto. Com a mudança e tantas coisas mudando para nós eu não tenho cérebro para pensar em tudo.Eu acho que temos que nos fixar antes eu possa dedicar um tempo decente para suas necessidades (Do Ben).Então é mais como que ele vai estar na pré-escola nesse outono e eu estou contente quanto à isso.
Nós resumimos o tempo de TV para nada; eles talvez consigam uma hora ou então à noite, ou então de manhã.
Dan e eu não assistimos nada exceto Hell’s Kitchen – que vai acabar em breve…
Cara!Eu estou completamente acabada com todas as mudanças acontecendo ( e elas estão acontecendo rapidamente!)
Eu tenho tantas coisas para fazer e eu não quero colocar minhas crianças através de uma ‘’confinamento’’ (essa é a palavra certa?) enquanto está um clima lindo do lado de fora e eles tem essa energia que eles tem!!
E Deus é tão incrível – ele me “junta” toda hora que eu estou prestes a cair todo esse tempo!
Eu tenho tanto para dizer / blogar… e tão pouco tempo.
Talvez eu devá fazer um blog de voz gravada por um tempo – hahah quem sabe…
Vi Mag. – onde vc tem andado? Ta sumido?

Noah’s speech therapy group
He always has a good time. We meet weekly for a couple of hours.
They are very organized and we always see progress in the end of the sessions…
They do all kinds of activities, always start and finish with songs… here are a few pics:
They always have snack time * almost always some sort of Crafts
playing at the “rice” box * and when the weather is nice they get to play outside!
One of Noah’s work * and Benji’s drawing (Benji stays at the sibling’s room)
Essas fotos sao da “terapia” do Noah (Fono)They are very organized and we always see progress in the end of the sessions…

Tem sido bem divertido, vamos uma vez por semana por 2 horas. eh tudo de graca, pago pelo governo e para ele eh so diversao!
Eles sempre comecam e fechas as secoes com musica! Super gostoso! E sempre vemos algum tipo de progresso na comunicacao do Noah antes mesmo de sairmos de la - eh incrivel!
Eles sao bem estruturados, tem lanchinho todas as sessoes, quase sempre tem uma atividade com papel, ou colagem, giz de cera, canetinha, alguma coisa assim…. qdo ta sol brincam la fora…
Naquela foto que ele esta de costas e eh uma caixa vermelha eh cheia de arroz cru (ao invez de areia), eles gostam muito! E aqui em baixo uma “arte” do Noah (a esquerda) e uma do Benjamin (a direita)!
O BEn tbm vai ne, mas ele fica na salinha dos “irmaos” - ele chama de escolinha, tadinho. Esta doidinho para ir! =)
Um barato!
a lil more
This is (was) supposed to be a much calmer week, so maybe I can get to blog a lit more… and last night we had a pretty empty calendar for this week and a phone call here, a phone call there BOOM – calendar is full!
Still I’m gonna take the day to stay in today and rest, catch up with laundry and give the boys a TV day (they sure can use a resting day)
BS was fun last week, we had a game morning, it started troubled because AP got in a car crash; everyone was ok, Thank God (and it wasn’t her fault! J)– so we were able to just enjoy the rest of the morning… It ended up good.
We never made to KI, so last minute Angela showed me how roll grape leaves – man! They are awesome! I love it. I think I can eat a whole pan of them!
Angela got this very good tasting German beer that reminded me a LOT of Brazilian beer. Very tasty!
It was good because the boys played in the pool in the back yard and rested and were happy enough when we met up with grandma.
Later we went for dinner at Dewey’s pizza with Frances + Steve & Mike & Kristen to say good-bye to Frances
before she left to PT. We had such a nice time, dinner was awesome and we had TCBY for desert! =)
Saturday there was this thing… well, from the beginning:
We met this Indian Lady at the Y the day of Isaac’s birthday and she organizes a potluck picnic every year for everyone who wants to come. So since we are moving to Mason (where she is from) and they meet in a park Mason I thought it would be a good idea to go there… Tim, B& L were over, so we all headed out and I actually had more fun then I expected! =)
I tried some different Indian food (Yummie!) and meet some great people!
The kids played as if there was no tomorrow! There was a nice playground, we took bikes, the ice cream truck came by… they ran ran ran…
And if that wasn’t enough Dan & I took the kids + Dani & Grace to KI, we enjoyed there for another 1.5 hour before fireworks.
If it was up to Benji every Saturday would end with KI fireworks! =)
Sunday morning we got dad fresh donuts from a local donut shop!
Father’s day was very good. Dan wanted nothing more than take-out Thai Food (could he had made any easier for me? *BIG SMILE*)
We had an awesome relaxing day, he got his Bengals tickets and a bunch of crafts from the kids. We got him this awesome political father’s day card lol lol, later Tati invited us for her neighborhood pool, and that was good too.
Benji jumped right into the deep side when we were not around, I was so proud of him for not freaking out so bad; trying to rise up and wanting to go back into the water after this incident. Also proud of Monica for helping him in a VERY smart way!
We were just 5-6 feet away so we could help, but still... it was a little scary.
I better get back to catching up (or trying to) my dishes, get lunch to the kids and the laundry folded… and still this is not even the beginning, hu?! =)
IN PORTUGUESE:
Isto é (era) para ser uma semana bem mais calma, então talvez eu possa blogar um pouco mais... ate a noite passada nós tinhamos um calendário bem vazio para essa semana e um telefonema aqui, um telefonema ali BOOM – o calendário está cheio!
Ainda assim eu vou pegar o dia para ficar hoje em casa e descançar, colocar as roupas sujas em dia e dar aos meninos um dia de TV ( eles com certeza vao gostar do dia de descanso).
BS foi divertido semana passada, nós tivemos uma manha de jogos, começou com problemas, porque a minha vizinha Amy teve um acidente de carro; todo mundo tava ok, Graças á Deus (e não foi culpa dela!)- então, nós aproveitamos o resto da manhã... terminou bem.
Nós acabamos nao conseguindo ir ao Kings Island, então no último minuto Angela me mostrou como enrolar folhas de uva (um prato tipico Greco) – cara!Elas são demais! Eu adorei. Eu acho que posso comes um pote cheio delas! Eh cheio de cerne mioda e arroz, quase que um charuto, sabe.
A Angela conseguiu esta cerveja alemã de muito bom sabor que me lembra UM MONTE a cerveja brasileira. Muito boa!
Foi bom porque os garotos brincaram na piscina no jardim dos fundos e descansaram e estavam felizes o bastante quando nos encontramos com a mae do Dan mais tarde...
Nós fomos jantar na Dewey’s Pizza com a Frances + Steve & Mike & Kristen para dizer Tchau antes da sogra ir para casa da cunhada por um mes.
Nós tivemos um tempo tão bom, o jantar foi demais e tivemos TBCY para sobremesa =)
Nós conhecemos essa mulher Indiana no Y no dia do aniversário do Isaac e ela organiza um picnic junta-panela todo ano pra quem quer ir.Então, já que a gente está se mudando pra Manson (de onde ela é) e eles se encontram em um parque la eu pensei que seria uma boa ir..., Tim, B & L estavam aki, então todos fomos lá e foi mais divertido do que eu pensava! =)
Eu provei umas comidas tipicas indianas diferentes (Humm!) e encontrei umas pessoas legais! As crianças brincaram como se não tivesse amanhã!E teve um ótimo playground, nós levamos bicicletas, o carro de sorvete veio, eles correram, correram...
E se não fosse o suficiente Dan & eu pegamos as crianças + Dani & Grace para Kings Island, nós aproveitamos ali por mais 1,5 horas antes dos fogos de aritício....
Se fosse pelo Benji todo sábado terminaria com fogos do KI! =)
Domingo de manhã a gente trouxe pro papai donuts frescos de uma loja de donuts!
O dia dos pais foi muito bom. O Dan não queria nada mais do que pegar comida Tailandesa (ele podia ter pego algo mais fácil pra mim? *SORRISAO*
Nós tivemos um dia relaxante, ele ganhou seus ingressos do Bengals e um monte de coisas das crianças. Nós conseguimos para ele esse incrível cartão pólítico de dia dos pais, mais tarde a Tati nos convidou para a piscina do condominio dela, e foi bom também.
O Benji pulou para o lado fundo quando nós não estávamos olhando, eu estava tão orgulhosa dele pois não se apavorou tanto; tentou subir e entrou na água de novo depois do acidente. Também estava orgulhosa da Mônica por ajudá-lo de uma maneira MUITO inteligente.
Nós estavamos apenas 1,5 - 2 metros de distâcia, então nós pudiamos ajudar, mais ainda assim... foi um pouco assustador....
Eu acho melhor voltar à dar um jeito ( ou tentar ) nas louças, pegar lanche para as crianças e dobrar as roupas... e ainda sim isso não é nem o começo, hein?! =)
VALEEEEEEEEEEEU VITAO pela traducao! =)
Super beijo a todos!

It bothers me
That a church we being to a very few times in the past has our information such as all our names and birthdays, has never sent us a “welcome letter” birthday card, x-mas card – or a “we miss you” card when we stopped going… never ever being contacted by them
– but yet just recently we received a letter asking for money! =]
Im always the 1st on the help but….
Weelllll – Let me think on that one!
PORTUGUES:
Fiquei meio chocada…
Porque aqui as igrejas sao todas mandam cartinhas… qdo vc comeca a ir, no aniversario, no natal, qdo vao fazer coisas novas… e qdo vc para de ir..
Entao foso umas 3 vezes nessa igreja X a uns anos atras… e nunca recebemos nada deles… ate ai tudo bem
Ate outro dia qdo recebemos uma cartinha querida “pedindo dindin”
“Hmmm, deixa eu ver…”

hellooooooo people!!!
Yes I’m alive! - BTW I love the e-mails and messages of people worried about us! Thanks thanks! It makes me feel BEDY BEDY special! =) xoxos!!! (Priscilla you cracked me up – you having withdraw from our blog! Lol lol)
We just being so busy and I have had ZERO – NONE – NADA computer time! Don’t you just love summer time? I DO!
I’m not even sure I’ll keep on blogging anymore… Priscilla was right, blog.com SUCKS, I don’t want to transfer over 3 years of data, but also I don’t want to start a whole new thing blahhhh! Not sure… I can’t not even remember what I have done this past 2-3 weeks to post, I guess I can go back and check out pics… lots os pool, lots of Boomerang Bay, Kings Island… Park park park. I’m exhausted. My body it’s just totally giving out, cause I just being doing so much!
* I think last week there was some crazy weather, t-storms, tornado warnings… we went down to the basement one night. I actually really got scared for the 2sd time in 6.5 years living in Cincinnati. It was very creepy. Worst party was that Dan and I were out on a date and the boys were home with a sitter, we didn’t even know about the weather until we started driving back home and OHMYSHOES! Let’s just go… The sitter did great, but still it was kind of a “hellooooo you are human, V-U-L-N-E-R-AB-L-E” moments… (Like when Nathan felt out of the dirt bike a couple weeks ago… reality check type thing- like – don’t take life for granted- love yourself – love life love your kids. Life life to the fullest! Be prepared and be in communion with God… You are here now; you may not be here in a minute?
Ya know what I’m saying??
Weird – I know… anyways… No tornado – Thank you dear Lord.. Everyone was nice and after all it felt good all the adrenaline (oh dear, the things that excite you when you become a parent!) Nevermind!
* Monica has spent the night a couple of times (wow, that has being a while since I blogged)… and it was smooth and enjoyable times…
* Jessie had a birthday party and Benji really enjoyed that! It was a fun party for everyone!
* Benji best buddy Isaac wasn’t around this past week, so it was kind of cool, Benji had a lot of time to bond with Grace and they both found out that they really enjoy each other’s company! Also, Benji made friends with this new boy from the street up, Alex, he is really really quiet boy, he is 7, very much in to video games, likes trains like Ben, car race, airplanes and water activities. So it’s being cool to see Benji play with him, learn new stuff and all. Benji got into the video games quickly. And man, he learned fast, now he can turn it on, set up the surround sound (I don’t even know how) and gets the x-box working so he can play video game. It doesn’t bother me, yet… Yes, he is only 3, but at least now during summer time, the time he spends on it’s irrelevant.
I painted the dinning room and the kitchen in the new house; I still have the second coat and a few details to finish. (Soon I’ll tell you something about why I think I shouldn’t done that)
* The church we being going t has a meeting at a local park every Thursday for the kids to meet up and play, we had attended to the meeting and I had really enjoyed the time. I had really connected in that church and I like knowing the people too. In a few weeks VBS will take place, Benji will be able to participate this year and I’ll be volunteering! =) I’m very looking forward to that!
* This past Wednesday night we went out to a couple of bars (I guess the first one was fine, but then we decided to go to a Karaoke one) T, Angela, Daia, David and Julie (she just gotta a new job, so we were celebrating) and man I LOVED IT – I’m SO doing this every couple of weeks… this one place in Lebanon I being on before a fez times before, Angela took me there first… but this other place in Maineville man, it’s the worst karaoke “bar” I ever seeing! Lol but it’s fun! =)
* Tati blessed woman, one day last week said: “Lilian, you are so stressed out, you have so much in your plate, pack a little bag to your kids, I’m driving now to pick them up so you can have the WHOLE DAY all for YOURSELF!”
Man, I got to be honest, I cried… I was so excited! I didn’t know what to do! I had so much! I went out to meet up with Dan for lunch and only got a couple things done… and TA! DA! It was over! But still, what a break! God bless you Tati! Only God knows how much I needed, and it came on the PERFECT day! =)
*I was so excited to talk to Roger and Ari this week - I love to connect with old friends! =)
* Noah’s speech therapy is doing great. This week his “teacher” as Benji calls it, said he cleared said “bah” (bug) & fish.
Last night we got him saying eyes… perfectly. Not sure that this was what he was saying Dan and I made him repeat it a million times throw the night, and sure enough, she says “eyes”… with that “tongue in the middle of the teeth sound” ykwim?
Well, I whole lot more happened but I need to go now… I’ll try to get online later on today or tomorrow and post some more. Enjoy some pictures in the mean time! =) Benji has run from the camera lately so you’ll notice we don’t have as many pictures of him…

We just being so busy and I have had ZERO – NONE – NADA computer time! Don’t you just love summer time? I DO!
I’m not even sure I’ll keep on blogging anymore… Priscilla was right, blog.com SUCKS, I don’t want to transfer over 3 years of data, but also I don’t want to start a whole new thing blahhhh! Not sure… I can’t not even remember what I have done this past 2-3 weeks to post, I guess I can go back and check out pics… lots os pool, lots of Boomerang Bay, Kings Island… Park park park. I’m exhausted. My body it’s just totally giving out, cause I just being doing so much!
* I think last week there was some crazy weather, t-storms, tornado warnings… we went down to the basement one night. I actually really got scared for the 2sd time in 6.5 years living in Cincinnati. It was very creepy. Worst party was that Dan and I were out on a date and the boys were home with a sitter, we didn’t even know about the weather until we started driving back home and OHMYSHOES! Let’s just go… The sitter did great, but still it was kind of a “hellooooo you are human, V-U-L-N-E-R-AB-L-E” moments… (Like when Nathan felt out of the dirt bike a couple weeks ago… reality check type thing- like – don’t take life for granted- love yourself – love life love your kids. Life life to the fullest! Be prepared and be in communion with God… You are here now; you may not be here in a minute?
Ya know what I’m saying??
