an old post
I finally got around and got some time to blog. It’s being pretty crazy since I got back from Brasil. Elan was visiting, loads and loads of laundry and a whole lot of bunch of things to catch up with.
My last few days in Brasil I was in Sao Paulo at tia Ro & tio Paulo’s house. They TOTALLY spoiled me! It made much harder to come back home – it’s SO nice to be treated like a princess!
Tia Ro paid for all kinds off little treats, nails, pedicure, wax, all kinds of yummy snacks but my favorite was a 90 minutes full body massage *just AWESOME* – only a few hours before my flight!
Man! Life is good! =)
I know my mom and dad wouldn’t treat me like that if I lived in Brasil, but man! All I being thinking about lately is what can I do to move back! LOL
The flight back home was very smooth! I was so impressed how well the kids did the whole trip! They both slept most of the flight and even I got to have a few minutes of shut eye!
We got back home to all that snow you saw in the pictures a few days ago… It was nice because it melted very fast! So we got to enjoy the snow but also didn’t have it long enough to get sick of it! =)
Anyways, we are REALLY happy to be with daddy again! We all missed him SO bad! =)
Past Saturday Mike went with Dan to take Elan to Clmbs airport and I hanged out with Kristen. I had this major asthma attack – I have NOT had anything like that in YEARS! It was really scary! So this Monday I rushed out to the Doc to get an emergency inhaler (my was expired) and get my lungs working again! Especially if I have any intention of working out… I’ll totally need it!
We suspect it was just a “shock” from the 85 to the 25 degrees change… It may be allergies too and we’ll find that out soon – if it comes again!
I had a lot to drink that night, but I always drink wine and that NEVER bothered me before… I also had eggs and milk… but again; even thou these are very trigging foods they never bothered me before… still – our bodies change… and I’m getting older!
Huge WHOLE in my wallet – the inhaler alone (doe’s NOT have a generic version) costs 70 bucks!!! All the money I made last week doing studies is gone *sniff * sniff* =(
Oh yeah - I alsmot forgot:
HAPPY SAINT PAT’S DAY!!!

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
I wasnt too impressed this season and Im getting a little confused…. oh well!
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…
She is giving birth at anytime now and no one is going with her - So I offer to go and Ana was so surprised! I cant wait to be able to witness another miracle!!! Baby girl Maria Eduarda should be here soon (EDD Jan 30) - Im just so trilled to be able to be a part of this!!!!
Ill try to post some pictures of the boys tomorrow. Things are defenetely getting better, Im much happier – so are the kids!

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…

Happy as a mom - sad as a daughter
I got hit by my first “Mommy, I love you” before bed time just a couple of nights ago… what an awesome treat for a mom!
In the other hand – as a daughter I just got hit by the news my dad has more cancer – liver this time – it’s the same as the colon what makes it bad (metastases) and he is having surgery as early as next week.
I want to go see him but I don’t want to leave Dan alone (we don’t have $ anyways) but I feel so guilt that he won’t be able to be with the kids!
Right now I feel very desinencuraged. Extra prayers, positive energy or whatever is that you do to my daddy and family =(
Thanks!
Later that day I wrote:
I wish my family & a few of my friends were closer too…
I’m very thankful for the neighbors we have in our community! There’s like 5 families that are just amazing people and good friends!
We hanged out last Saturday night, grilled out some dinner, had a fire, roasted marshmallows, smoked cigar and make some music, played “But Tarts” (I didn’t – I crashed before it but I heard it was fun!), the kids had a good time and it’s just a nice nice evening/night.

–Thanks mom!
My mom got some sort of shit on her head and showed up last night, 10 pm with this new toy for Benji when he was already asleep! He - of course – woke up instantly and did not stop playing until 2 am; she went to bed and I stayed up!
–Thanks mom! =]
–Thanks mom! =]
BirthdaySS
Sunday after the Bengals game went to Frances’s house – she had a nice dinner for Mike’s birthday. Benji was so good.
Then Tuesday him and Kristen came over for a Brazilian Dinner – that was good.
– It’s mom’s birthday today, so:
“Feliz aniversario mamae! I love and miss you SO much.”

Back from Brazil - what a trip!
Brazil was awesome, even thou I’m exhausted I would do it again! My parents and Dan got along very well ~ we had a great time, Busy Busy, but great!
- Wednesday We left home about 4 Am to CVG Airport, went to Miami for a 4 hours layover – after that we flied to Sao Paulo, got in the Airport about Midnight, and my Grandma was there with Aunt Sandra, Pedro, Ariela and my Aunt Marisa. ~Dan almost went to jail for not paying a box of matches $0.30 – very funny! We hanged out there that night
- Thursday Our plane to Curitiba was very late so we didn’t get there until like 10 am, got home so tired, we had lunch and slept for the rest of the day. Mom was waiting for us with a key lime pie; she cooked lunch and dinner ~ very good! It’s so nice to see mom and dad, I miss them so bad. At night Gabriel, Julio & Andrea came to visit with us, he is just about Benjamin’s size but doing other stuff, Benji almost walk, claps and does “so big” while Gaby waves bye-bye and it’s like very hyper and biting everyone. I think he learned too because since he’s being biting everyone and everything.
- Friday The time changing got up to our brains – we can’t sleep until 2 am then next day we can’t wake up until Noon! So again we didn’t do anything, but we had people over later that day. We met Nicolas – sooo cute and sweet – Thiago and Dan had lots of Fun trying to communicate, I think! Hehheeh And Katia – of course looks great!
We took Dan to Wal-Mart, to “Barriga” Mall and just a quick drive to the park – It’s being rainy for two days now, which has kept us home as well the guests.
- Saturday We woke up at Noon again and went for a hair cut, I had my nails done as well my wax… it feels great. =)
For lunch we went to BATEL GRILL for churrasco– it was very delicious, and we had to rush back home to see Wanda that was waiting with most of her family to see Dan, after they left we barely had time to get dressed for church – it was really nice! “Daniel’s God is the Best”~Amen.
For dinner Dan tried Brazilian style Pizza, with Catupiry… About 11 pm Erika, Paulo, Ariane and Carol came over, we talked until about 3 am, it was very nice to see them! Oh how much I miss my friends!
- Sunday A supposed quick stop at Tia Sueli’s house became lunch; we had a homemade Churrasco, Ana was there and it was very nice to see her… The food was good and it was a very nice time. Dad stopped by for us to see the lot we are thinking about investing on and after that we drove to Sao Paulo – to Tia Sandra’s house; didn’t get there until 10 pm. In the way we saw a fire going up to the forest… It was a great time driving with my parents, like in the “old times”, brought me back a lot of memories.
Dan was anxious to hear the score and the Bengals made us proud again! They are going great – Actually they are first in their division! ~ Claudia went to the game instead of Dan and she said the game was good & a lot of rain too.
- Monday Tio Luiz made Feijoada! Hmm – it was very good and we had dinner at Tia Rosangela’s house – Tio Paulo cooked my favorite Eggplant rice – it sounds gross but it’s delicious! The Boys and Dan got a long very well. I had a blast watching them! Speaking in English and playing, I think Dan left there with a Migraine. Mom and Dad left ~ it’s already getting sad… It’s getting harder and harder to leave them the first couple of times.
- Tuesday Dan took a Metro ride with us to Tatuape Mall, also we went for a tour at my Grandma’s old house and stopped by Tio Carlo’s Pharmacy. I went to church in Bras with Grandma and Tia Marisa, but we got there almost at the end but it was worth it. Basically everyone came to the airport to say bye. Gigio was also there, he was coming to Miami to work.
- Wednesday We are back home, I believe we all had a great time – resuming our trip it was very delicious and a lot of people – that was basic it! Meeting people and eating their food eheh. Benjamin was great at all the times and I got the opportunity to see my dear family that I miss so much again. Dan thinks I have a BIG FAT GREEK BRAZILLIAN FAMILY! J And guess what? He is right! And I love them!
Hopefully next time Dan will get to see more of ! ~Pictures to come soon right here.
