Catch Up

Since mid-February, we've been on a carousel in Daniel Land.  Little Man's first birthday, a nasty respiratory bug (that visited everyone but D), Cecilia and Will's weekend out of town, Cecilia's birthday, the MOVE; all have consumed the past 6 weeks like a brush fire during a burn ban.

Now that Cecilia and Will are one week settled into their new apartment, I'm hoping to catch up on a few posts here.  Actually, it's not really all their doing.  Truth be told, Daniel is so active that it's a challenge to get my hands on the camera in time, or, for that matter, take a clear (non-blurry) picture, so I gave up trying for a while.

There's also the full moon . . . and so I'm wide awake at 2:30AM.  *Joy*

The week following Daniel's birthday party,
Little Man sat down with Mae and Pai to open his presents.

Daniel tried out the top he received from Vovo Dora.

It worked!


When Cecilia and Will left town for the weekend,
GiGi and HeyYey had a good time with Daniel.
We were invited for dinner with 2 other pairs of grandparents, and
I was tempted to bring Daniel dressed like this--stains and all.
It would have been good for a laugh--all of us remembering
how crazy and messy life can be with little ones.
Stains happen.  Things don't always match, nor do they have too.
Life is not always a catalog moment.

Cecilia had a birthday celebration
on her first ever weekend away with Will.
Our present was waiting for her when she returned.

Every Brazilian homemaker needs this:
small coffee cups and the tiny spoons to stir in all that sugar.

When Spring weather arrived,
we took off our shoes
and got into the dirt.
