Sunday in Santa Barbara/ Domingo em Santa Barbara

The next day after the shower we headed up to Santa Barbara for a girls day out. It really was fun! We had lunch at Palazzios(my favorite restaurant!) Amelia loved the pasta and rolls there. Then we took the shutter down to the pier and walked around there for a bit(Amelia as always freezing cold. haha! My friend Cynthia brought her a snow jacket while I was only wearing a t-shirt...gotta love being pregnant!) Lesley, Amelia and Avila had Ice cream while we sat down to rest and talk( and take pictures...of course!) We had a great time there...Then we all went over to John's parent's house for a delicious dinner(as always!) and a game of Apples to apples. :)

No domingo depois do cha de bebe nos fomos a Santa Barbara p/ um dia fora so mulheres. Nos divertimos muito la! Almocamos no Palazzio's(meu restaurante preferido!) Amelia amou a macarronada com molho alfredo e os paezinhos de alho. De la pegamos o trenzinho p/ o pier e andamos por la um pouco (Amelia sempre morrendo de frio. haha! Minha amiga Cynthia trouxe um casaco de neve p/ ela enquanto eu estava so vestindo camiseta...e muito bom estar gravida!) Lesley, Amelia e Avila tomaram sorvete qdo sentamos p/ descansar e conversar (e tirar fotos logico!) Foi tudo muito legal la... voltamos p/ camarillo e jantamos na casa dos pais do John( uma delicia como sempre!) e jogamos Apples to Apples! ;)

About the kids! / Sobre as Criancas!

I decided that from now on I will only be writing and posting photos about our kids, Ethan and Isabeli and things related to them. I will have a whole different website devoted to the business. Not sure exctly when that's gonna be up and running but no rush...I have plenty going on right now. Have to set my priorities straight and get ready for the arrival of our sweet Isabeli. Have been busy this week getting ready for the baby shower that is already this saturday! only 4 more days...gosh..time really flies!!! So many little things to take care of still...but it will be great and I am very excited! The baby's room is filling up with things but not much in place yet...can't wait to see it all ready! It will be so sweet and delicate! Ethan has been the best helper...going shopping with me, and cleaning the house, putting his stuff away... always reminding his mommy about things (especialy to buckle him up!!!!). such a cutie! well...more later!

Decidi que de hj em diante irei somente escrever e colocar fotos sobre nossas criancas, Ethan e Isabeli e coisas relacionadas a elas. Terei um outro site que vai ser somente p/ meu trabalho. Nao tenho ideia ainda de qdo vai estar pronto, mas to sem pressa. Tenho muita coisa acontecendo agora. Preciso me preparar p/ a chegada da Isabeli que sera muito em breve. Estou bastante ocupada essa semana preparando as ultimas coisas p/ o cha que ja e sabado. somente 4 dias mais...o tempo realmente voa! estou muito anciosa!! O quarto da baby esta enchendo de coisinhas mas nada no lugar ainda...mal posso esperar p/ estar tudo prontinho...vai ser muito lindo e delicado! Ethan tem sido o melhor dos ajudantes...me ajuda nas compras, arrumar a casa, colocar os brinquedos no lugar e lembra a mama dele de muita coisa (principalmente de colocar o cinto nele!) eu to com uma cabeca pessima!! Muito gracinha ele! bem...em breve tem mais! bjo

Power Ranger dude!

Ethan started to watch Power Rangers a lot lately...today we went to Toysr'us and he picked out a set. so cute! funny thing is I remember when I was a kid I used to play power rangers too. I was always the yellow one...hahaha

Ethan comecou a assitir Power Rangers agora...hj ele escolheu uma fantasia qdo fomos a loja de brinquedos. tao lindo! Engracado que eu gostava de brincar de power rangers qdo eu era crianca tb. Eu era sempre o amarelo...hahaha
