Xmas Parties !

Yes ! We had more than one party for Xmas Eve and one on Xmas Day...
Added to the fact that Eric was playing on all Xmas services at Church (2, 5, 7 and 9), it made for a very interesting day....

First our Neighborhood Party ( click on the picture for the whole Album)




Second The Brazilian Party




and finally, Xmas Day Lunch ( and Pedro's Bday Celebration)

Multinomah Falls

On Friday we went down to Portland for a seminar and decided to visit this fall. It was raining, so we could not enjoy it for very long. Here are some pictures.





One tragic-comic moment was when leaving the falls going to the Hotel, our GPS unit would go in loop and reboot trying to find the place. It only found itself a few miles later....

Summer in Whistler

It was a amazing trip with lots, lots of activities. See all the pictures we took here.

All good things...

Must end. We left the Hotel on Friday with plans to return next year, this time for a whole week.



Those "monitors" will remain in our hearts

Now we will spend the rest of our time visiting friends and Family, in Araras, Leme, Campinas and Sao Paulo.

This picture is how I feel today. In peace. This is the sunset I was able to witness today, after a Bike Class, after a movie, after...
Today I finally relaxed and let the kids have fun with the monitors without my presence.... It is very cool.
I've uploaded more pictures today to the album.

As I write this, kids are in bed, very happy and very, very tired.

See you tomorrow.

Brazil

We made it to Brazil ! All is well. This week we are spending on a Hotel in Pocos de Caldas .
Kids are having a great time. We are too !
Look at the pictures so far....

Harrison Hot Springs

We went to a Hot Spring place in Canada (1 hr East of Vancouver) that was amazing.



Even though it was under 40F (and sometimes snowing),
the boys didn't want to leave the whater

We must come back in the Summer !

Mid winter Break in Canada

We went to Canada for mid winter break.
We stopped at Vancouver for Lunch and some cool shops.
