Ethan and Isabeli

SACRAMENTO

Estamos em Sacramento, capital da California. Chegamos ontem depois de uma longa ROAD TRIP. Nossos amigos(Alex, Jason, Alannah e Avila) estavam em Los Angeles, mas moram aqui(onde estamos ficando). Ai eles passaram la na casa dos pais do John em Camarillo na sexta a noite e partimos. Era 10 horas da noite qdo saimos. Paramos em Passo Robles,CA p/ dormir num daqueles hoteis de beira de estrada e seguimos viagem na manha seguinte(ontem). Chegamos eram 3 horas da tarde aqui em Sacramento. Foi legal a viagem...mas eu estava exausta.  Jantamos na casa de outros amigos e fomos dormir.  Agora sao 10 da manha e to aqui escrevendo p/ vcs. Saudades de casa...;) mas ja ja chego ai! beijos, amo vcs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

update

It's been a whil since I posted anything good here. So today I decided to do so. Let's see... we are gonna spend the weekend in california, for Jennifer's husband's birthday(Matt). Happy birthday dude!

Our friends Tracy, Greg, Marea and little Jack spent a few days with us last weekend(and beginning of this week)and we all had a blast. Had a great dinner on friday(Sheaperd's pie..made by me! soooooooo yummy!!!) and as appetizers we had crab legs and some HUUUUUUUUUUUGE shrimp!!!!! unreal...and too good for words! Watched the superbowl at home with them while Ethan and Marea had  fun (and some arguments) together. I was so nice to have a baby in the house again. Such a good baby...never cried! On moday we had a ton of fun on the strip(John didn't go to work...hehe) was such a perfect day...we parked at the bellagio and walked for a while. Luch at Outback(so good!kkkkkk seems like all we do is eat!) and went to the Madam Tussauds wax museum at the Venetian hotel...check out pics! I even "married" George Cloney there!

Ethan has been going through some changes...definately showing his little personality and how unbeliavebly inteligent he is. I couldn't believe how fast he did a 100 piece puzzle I got him(those one with little pieces!). Now he can write his own name and spell anything. If I spell any other word he can write it as well. He is also a computer dude like daddy...knows how to open/close windows, type things and loves to play nickelodeon and noggin games online. We are soon getting him his own computer.

We are all very excited for our trip to Brazil in april. John's sister, Lesley, will accompany us this time. We all leave on april 9th, John and Lesley come back April 23rd and I only return june 2nd. My family is so excited we are all coming and that Ethan will be there while my dad is on vacation. They never seem to be able to spend a lot of time together. We have a few trips planned and maybe a cruise.  can wait for sun, sun, sun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The house is awesome...I am having a blast decorating it. Love everyhing I have done so far...the living room is almost done and I am ready to start a new project...maybe the bathrooms(not sure what yet!) My bedroom is gonna wait a while...I want to have my mom make me some curtains..something different. Already have some ideas...but not gonna tell. ;) Also...while in Brazil I am gonna be decorating my sister's apartment. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED! It's empty...huge and ready for some makeover. We are changing floors, walls, light fixtures, plugs, doors, sooo much! show you all pictures when it's done! Will be gorgeous!

anyways...wrote a book! be back later...check out the new pictures. and my new look! beijos xau xau
