Happy 2009!!!!

We had a nice party, it could only be better if Dan could be with us! Here in Brasil New Years is always a big party, everyone has fireworks - it's beautiful! We got just a few part of our family together (about 28 of us), less then usual but still we had a great time! I saw cousins that I haven't seing in 6 or 7 years! It was only my mom's side of the family, but still not all her siblings were there. The menu was awesome, we had so much food and deserts. We all had a blast!

* My mom cooked one of my favorite dishes: Past with pumpkin puree and almods! Yummm!


* Trying to get everyone in the picture!



* My dad & I - I love this man!



X-mas 2008

We had an excellent x-mas! Our family joined in Guga’s family on x-mas eve. During the day I talked to the boys about what x-mas means, we had a nice time at dinner…

Guga and Kadu put together this fun video (that included us too) to play for their family, they had a “funny videos” from both their and our family afterwards, where there was Tia Sandra falling down on the mud, me falling on the snow he boys getting into to trouble! I'm gonna try to post at least the familyvideo as soon as I figure it out how...

Tio talked about stating 2009 with a “Clean cut” look and had a great beautiful speech about cleaning out the clutter in our homes as well about the clutter in our souls.
It was all so cute and well organized; the food was insanely good, of course! This day was the hardest since Dan has being gone. We missed himbad! We called to wish him a Merry X-mas and talked with the WebCam. On the 25th we went to my Tia Sueli's house for a BBQ....

....and of course Noah is up and I can’t finish this post… =oP

Partyyyyyyy

The T Party was fun; I missed a lot of people but it was fun at the same time, the 10 of us got to talk and enjoy each other’s company. Having a sitter for all the kids was also a great idea!


Priscilla was sooo helpfull! I even got time to do my hair!!! =)

The Bengals won I didn’t get to watch the game because of the party but I knew they won cause Dan was so perky when he got home!
He left extra early for tailgating and after those two busy days I feel like we haven’t spent quality time together – we are ready for our weekend now!

I’m more tired then ever…

I’m getting desperate about our yard – it’s looking worst everyday! I don’t know what do to! I can’t bend down but I’ll just have to do it!


This weekend it’s pretty much gone since Dan will help Perry put their play set together and Sunday Brazil is playing for the world cup and Tati is having a big party! It’ll be fun I’m sure! And even if we tried I know we won’t find time on Sunday…

Then during the week there’s no way I can get it done with Benjamin around!
I seriously need to learn to pick my battles! Some things just really upsets me too much!

Everyone’s mom is coming to visit/help - Daniela’s mom, Tati’s mom, our friends from KY are having their parents over - How much i wish my mom could come! For a week - for a day! I miss the 3 of them so bad. Latelly it’s getting worst. It’s like I’m not gonna be able to see them again!

Anyways…

I’m planning a baby shower for Tati – I got the invitations yesterday and it’s the cutest thing ever! A little body of a pregnant lady w/ green pants and a pink shirt! I loved it! =)Simone offered to get some decoration and stuff… it should turn out ok!I’m only getting a couple of games because it won’t be a lot of time! =)I also want to see if her mother can bring party favors from Brazil (We always have the coolest stuff there).

It got me all excited to work on a birth announcement for this baby (If we can ever agree on a name for the poor guy!) I’m debating rather I stamp or print something for when he comes.. i’ll work on today while stuck at the model!

We being trying to get Benjamin out of the pacifier – it’s being a few hours – since last night. It’s being thought but I think he can manage it! He went days without before! I won’t make him suffer but as long as he’s ok I won’t have it around! Then after we go thru this one I want to try getting him to drink his milk out of a sip cup! He’ll drink water and juice but the milk when it’s on the sip cup makes him gag! It’s so funny! I’ll try w/ a straw cup, but later – let’s work on the pacifier thing first! =)

Our Friday 2 days later…

Friday morning someone from Warren County came to fix our back yard, there was something there – all the way down the hill to be fixed, some sort of pipe and hopefully they will be back in this coming week to re-grade our yard! ~I need to do some serious work in our lawn but I just don’t have the green thumb!

We stopped at Dani’s house for a while to bring her medicine and had lunch w/ Isaac, Grace and Monica since our playgroup didn’t meet this past Friday. Also brought medicine for Midi that is still not doing good! I should call to find out what the Vet said on her Saturday appointment!

Me, Benji, Monica and Tati went to Kings Island after that to meet w/ Lilly and the kids! Benjamin had the best time (but the fact he had to go back into the stroller between rides!) and I was bit up!

Still I got straight to go to Try-County Mall and meet up with Linda, we did some shopping, got a gift for Mike’s Graduation and I ran a few arrows…

Michael and our cousin Frank came over for dinner; we grilled out somewhat Brazilian style and talked about the Church Venue the rest of the night! * I think it’s a great idea! I got to go to the building on Saturday after Mike’s graduation and I was really pleased w/ the structure (not that it matter what I think) LOL –There’s a lot of potential and I think the locations is great; a great project going on there. Now there A LOT – I mean A LOT of work to be done. I wish I could help somehow. It’s so exciting! Walking in there and picturing in my head made me want to be part of it, be there and see it happen! =) It remind me a lots of Brazil. The place, the church itself and hte project. I remember when hte “Moinho St. Antonio” was used in the same way. Very Cool!


Thursday, June 8, 2006  Our Thursday posted 3 days later…

This morning I went to my first LLL meeting. It was very interesting to watch moms discussing, all with different opinions. Benji kind of got frustrated with the crowd. What makes me feel we should participate in more groups. He was really shy but not when it came to the toys. He wasn’t social at all (Kind of strange - because usually he is!) I think he has changed so much from the past couple of weeks. Understanding more what’s going on around him and having more opinion on this. Starting a lots with a bad attitude, and here I go read about it to work with him!

Lilly came in town today for Mike’s Graduation Party. She drove from  Memphis with Elan and her two younger kids & they are all going to stay here at our place.

Benjamin completely LOVED having the kids in the house! I couldn’t resist how bad they were having fun so… – forget about bedtime: They played *TOTALLY* plugged in until close to midnight! Of course they crashed badly!

Busy Bee

It's being so crazy for me and really for all of us - *Benjamin - Dan - House - Work # 1 - Work # 2 - and Myself! But it's being good!*

All thou I'm still taking a couple of days off to rest - if not my body will crush!
The Party yesterday was good - much better then what could have being - still we alsways expect more deep down - but besides sales it was great!

And Today's event went much better than I expected! I'm getting good on talking to groups of people - I being trying hard to get my english clear and talking slow! =oP

Benjamin is more beautiful everyday - doing a couple steps from here to there - in no time this boy will be walking! Stading on his own and adventuring himself thru the place. Up and dpwn the steps and open and closing things....

Oh yeah and BTW - Happy Birthday Mike!!!! =))
