Finally some time to sit and blog!
-Man, let me tell you, I don’t see the end of my housework! After a day of much work and A LOT done I few like I still have 4 times more to be done! Is that possible? =oPPP
Going back to bloging… I don’t like when it takes me so long to blog because I always forget about something important but the reality is that I just won’t have as much free time anymore. The kids are growing so fast, their schedule is getting to be fill up and between driving them places, getting their activities done and keeping up with the house there’s no time left for the computer! (No! I’m not ok taking time of my precious sleep! –lol)
I guess I’m ready for one of those stickers “Soccer mom” on my Mini Van!
On top of it all - all kinds of stuff seemed to be happened, of course more bad and good… and it’s just a little overwhelming. Well – the good news is that most of these things had being resolved – and if not – they shall pass! =)
Robyn is back! She is safe and that is very good news! This was one of the scary things that worried us for about 3 weeks… It seemed pretty long 3 weeks to me – Can’t imagine how it felt for her family! The vigil was beautiful and very touching. We just need to praise the Lord that she is back! *Welcome home Rob! We love you SO much!*
Here some pics from the Vigil
In that same week Dan did something with his foot, couldn’t stand the pain, the Dr. also scared us a bunch. X-rays didn’t show anything broke but the Dr. mentioned about tendons and ligaments and a possible foot surgery! Man – what a week. Dan was in so much pain. I got him a pair of crutches and because of his kidneys he couldn’t take much pain medication.
What’s wrong with his kidneys? We don’t know either, the Drs don’t know. He has done blood work, ultrasounds, many tests and it’s possible that we’ll need to do a biopsy. Nothing was found, no stones, no cancer – nothing (yet). But his protein condition (and it’s worst then 2 yrs ago) so there’s got to be something.
His cholesterol and blood pressure are high and I think this all together has finally hit us bad. I don’t even like thinking about “what if” something happens to him – how hard it’ll be for him, the kids & me. I’m a little freaked out in this department. Or a little more then little.
One of out friends got married a couple weeks ago and the groom’s mother passed away right at the same time of the wedding ceremony (she was at the hospital) so even thou Dan & I had a great night out – T & K didn’t enjoy their wedding day at all!!
-The Same day Si's mom felt down the stairs and broke her face bone in 3 places. Had quite a few stitches and hurt her left arm. No words to describe the bruising and swelling! She is 80 yrs old and this got her hard! She is doing much better now! But poor S had to feal with it all while also coping with the idea of moving to Panama - because her husband just got transfered) and he was there for like 2 weeks while she had to handle it all.
Within this past couple of weeks also:
Our friend C lost his job – because he worked for the government and they cut the money to this department. Another friend of mine was pregnant and just lost the baby, my parents ha a car accident, everyone is fine but the car was total loss!
Shel’s dad was diagnosed with long cancer too.
And I’m sure there are more stuff that I can’t think of right now – what just may be a good thing – because this black cloud around has done enough and it’s time to GO!
SHARE IT OFF! =D
I need to thank God that trough all this I was able to be there for my friends and family and hang on the “good”, always looking forward and having a positive attitude (or at least trying to)! *Thank you!*
In the mist of all this many good things also happened! Stay in touch for a “GN” post!
A ton of pictures…
Man - I want to start this post telling you guys about this AWESOME chinese meal Dan made last saturday. S&T, Tati & Nicole and the kids came over… Tim helped Dan - they made crab rangoons, eggs rolls & general chicken! Awesome awesome awesome! Great meal… we had a awesome time… =)
My hubby rocks, let me tell ya… if all that we have hard times once in a while I only have reasons to be thankful! =)
And I’m also thankful because finally: “Spring is here, spring is here it’s the best time of the year!!! =))) ” (Lil Bill)My hubby rocks, let me tell ya… if all that we have hard times once in a while I only have reasons to be thankful! =)
Yeaaaah! =) We are just so so happy we can get to play outside, enjoy the weather… open windows!
Oh, how much I love spring!
The boys absolutely LOVE playing outside!
Here Ben wearing this Home Depot apron * Both boys playing in the swing set…
Noah loooves the swing! =)
Last week, playing Pretzel eater Pirate!
Mom was trying hard to get decent pics with broken camera! =(
Noah playing run. “Get ready, set - Go!!!”
Noah cracks me up! He is talking so much. He’ll go down on with his hands on the floor, say “GO” and run like there’s no tomorrow (Have I posted about this before?) Anyways, some of his new words are:
In portuguese: pah (pe = foot)
tabo (acabou = all done)
auau (cachorro = dog)
boca = mouth
bola (ball)
In english:
bid bid (bird)
tha (thank you)
He’ll start his speech therapy next week; with “Help me grow”. We think it’s a good idea for an early intervention, even though he has the 2 languages, still he needs to get more interested on communicating.
Benji – It’s just hilarious… makes me laugh so hard! Has an imagination that blows me away!
He found a box this morning and played inside of it for HOURS, first it was a train, than a car… than an elevator (alligator, as he says); soon the box was a boat (a baseball bat was his paddle) that transformed on a pirate ship and finally on a turtle shell.
He now has this new thing, every time we are going somewhere, I’ll open the door and say go, he’ll hold the door and say “after you mommy”
And I’m here trying to get little bits and pieces of time here and there to clean or sew or do some sort of craft… I’m loving to sew (sp??) . I hope I can get a place I can just put my sewing machine and not have to put it away everytime after I use it! Oh, here, let me show you what I made for Melissa’s baby shower last week (BTW, I have a great time!!!!)
Here is a diaper cake - just for decor and the fun of it:
For party favors, little baby socks filled with crushed lavander… turned out pretty cute, uh?
Clique aki para ler em portugues:

Ja o Benjamin como sempre me matando de rir…
A imaginacao desse menino nao tem tamanho! Hj tinha uma caixa grande ali na porta, ele pegou e brincou com a tal da caixa por horas! Primeiro era um trem, depois um carro, virou um elevador, um barco (usando um taco de baisebal pra ser o remo) – um navio de pirata e pra terminar um casco de tartaruga!
Ele agora com essa mania – quando agente abre a porta pra sair, eu seguro a porta e falo “Vai filho”; agora ele segura a porta pra mim e diz “Depois de vc mamae…”
Pessoal, E ai,e stao gostando???? Nao esquecam de dar uma olhada nas fotos la no teto em ingles, ta? -Beijao!
First day of school for Benjamin
This past August Benjamin started pre-school. He was just SO happy to go! Noah in the other hand was devastated! He must think “How come Benji is getting into this fun room and I don’t get to go in?”
At first he was upset not to see Mrs. P & Mrs. M (from HMG) since that was his referls from what teachers and school would be but he got over soon. He loves Mrs C now, He loved loved loves Mrs King - had an incredible connection with her (but hse is now leaving ) but seems to enjoy Mrs. Fair very we much too! So looks like this will be a fun school year!
So - yes! We have a happy pre-schooler! =)
He even had a field trip already! =)))
First day! =)
btw - this backpack looks big - but it’s not heavy at all!!!
Bear ears - one of his first projects! =)
