Ethan and Isabeli

Bowling!/Boliche!

We went bowling this past saturday to celebrate Ethan's little friend's birthday. It was so much fun and Ethan had a really good time. He keeps saying he wants to go back soon... too cute! We were there for a few hours actually and he bowled the whole time. Daddy tried to help him but he just wanted to do it his way...I was seriously worried about the floors. The kids were throwing the ball so hard it sounded like it was gonna fall into pieces..haha We do plan on going back soon...maybe a daddy/kid night out?! So mamas can have a very well deserved break! :)

Nos fomos jogar boliche sabado passado p/ celebrar o aniversario do coleguinha do Ethan. Foi muito legal e Ethan se divertiu bastante. Ele agoravive dizendo que quer voltar em breve...uma graca! Nos estivermos la por umas 2 horas e Ethan jogou o tempo todo. Daddy bem que tentou dar umas aulinhas, mas ele queria fazer do jeito dele... e eu estava preocupada com o chao o tempo todo. As criancas jogavam a bola tao forte que parecia que ia quebrar tudo. haha. Nos planeamos voltar em breve, quem sabe uma noite de diversao entre pais e filho(a)s assim as mamaes podem ter o descanso merecido... hehe

27 Anos!/ 27 years old!

My dad  wrote this beautiful message for me on the previous post and I cannot tell you how happy it made me. I confess I was completely unaware my birthday was coming up until a friend asked me what I was gonna do "next monday". I was like "what do you mean?" haha silly me. I guess between Isabeli's birth being so close and John's big 30th next thursday I simply forgot. oh well... Daddy, thank you so much for the beautiful message, I love you and miss you so much. Wish we could be closer on this special day. Thanks for being this amazing person and so important in my life. Of course not only him but my whole family and friends who I love and miss so much, especially on days like today. Happy birthday to me!! :) ps.: here is the smile you asked for dad! :)

Meu pai escreveu essa mensagem linda p/ mim no post passado e nao da nem p/ descrever o como fiquei feliz. Confesso que estava completamente desligada que meu aniversario estava chegando ate uma amiga me perguntar "o que eu ia fazer na proxima segunda". Pensei comigo "huh? como assim?" haha lesada que sou! kkkk Acho que entre o nascimento de Isabeli e o grande aniversario de 30 anos do John na proxima quinta eu simplesmente esqueci de mim. Painho, obrigada pela mensagem linda, te amo e sinto muito sua falta. Queria que a gente pudesse estar mais perto nesse dia tao importante p/ mim. Obrigada por ser essa pessoa tao incrivel, meu modelo de ser humano. E claro que a mesma saudade e amor vai p/ todos da minha familia e tb amigos que estao longe hj. Saibam que nunca esqueco de vcs e que cada um tem um pedacinho do meu coracao. Parabens p/ mim!! obs.: Ai esta o sorriso que vc pediu painho!

Menos de 2 semanas!/Less than 2 weeks!

My mommy is on her way to see Amelia and I. Sooooo very exciting! She arrives in Virginia on the 28th of July(yah, next week!) and here on the 2nd(that's less than 2 weeks!!!!) Cannot even believe she is acually coming. For those who don't know...she HATES flying. So this is huge! Only my mom to do this for me. Isn't she the absolute best? She will be meeting Isabeli, spending time with Ethan(who is so excited about it! My mom is like a kid when dealing with Ethan...so cute. They run, they drag themselves on the ground, they get dirty... so it's like having a play date.. for 45 days!!!) She will get to see John too...they don't see each other for 4 years now...time flies huh?  So so nice! Can't wait to show her around and for her to meet my american family too. Slowly the Elkins and the Peixotos and getting to meet. haha

Minha mae ta vindo p/ ver Amelia e eu! Ela chega na Virginia dia 28 de julho (isso mesmo, semana que vem!) e aqui no dia 2 de agosto (menos de 2 semanas!!). Da nem p/ acreditar que ela esta vindo de verdade. Para os que nao sabem ela detesta voar. Entao isso e grandioso! So minha mae p/ fazer esse sacrificio por mim! Ela nao e a melhor? Ela vai conhecer Isabeli, aproveitar da compahia do Ethan (Ele esta tao feliz! Minha mae e como crianca qdo esta com Ethan...tao lindo. Eles correm, se arrastam pelo chao, brincam de esconder, bola... vai ser maravilhoso p/ ele... 45 dias de pura diversao com a vovozinha dele). Vai rever o John tb que nao ve a 4 anos ja...tempo voa ne? Muito legal mesmo! Mal posso esperar p/ mostrar os lugares por aqui e p/ ela conhecer minha familia americana tb. Devagarinho os Elkins e os Peixoto estao se conhecendo. haha

Lost Everything!/Perdi Tudo!

I have been having problems with my computer for a little while now. So I had saved all my files, documents, PICTURES, and favorites into DVDS so John could format the drive and I could have my computer working like new again. So I thought! Last night while trying to put back my photoshoot pictures into the computer I realized they were GONE! The DVDs were showing as if they were blank(when they weren't...i checked after saving the pictures there and by looking at them you can see that there are things saved in them) So of course I freaked! For a while at least...could not sleep and came back to see what I could do...tested the dvds in John's computer and for my surprise some of them did work(not my photography ones though!). But at least I have some of my pictures saved...especially my pregnancy ones. Will try the dvds in other computers and see if they work...not sure what's going on but seriously will not try to understand if somehow they decide to work. All I want is my pictures baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!! :(

                                  ----------------------------------

Eu estava tendo uns probleminhas com meu laptop a algum tempo ja. Entao eu salvei todas os arquivos, documentos, FOTOS e sites favoritos em DVDs p/ John formatar meu HD e assim ter meu computador funcionando como novo again. Assim pensei! Ontem a noite qdo tentava colocar minhas fotos de clientes de volta no computador percebi que elas nao mais existiam! Os dvds apareciam como vazios(qdo nao estavam... eu olhei depois de gravados p/ ter certeza que estava tudo ok e ate olhando os dvds da p/ ver que tem coisa gravada neles) Entao e logico que eu endoidei! Por um tempo pelo menos... nao consegui dormir e voltei p/ computador p/ tentar ver se conseguia abrir algum de novo. Testei-os no computador do John e para minha surpresa alguns deles fincionaram( nao os das minhas fotografias!)...mas pelo menos algumas das minhas fotos caseiras estao la...principalmente as de gravida. Vou testar os dvds em outros computadores p/ ver se funciona... nao entendo o que aconteceu mas sinceramente se por algum acaso eles resolverem funcionar de uma hora p/ outra eu nao vou nem querer entender...Tudo que quero sao minhas fotos de voltaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

4th July

We had a very fun day on 4th July. We spent some quality time at the beach just the 3 of us(plus tummy! hehe). Ethan loves the beach and the water has been ok actually so he can go in. The weather was just awesome too, so nice and warm! We met a brazilian family there who live pretty close to us, so that's cool. Will be good for Ethan to have some brazilian friends his age. Their older kid is 4 and 1/2. After we got back from the beach I got to take a very long nap while John played video game with Ethan and then we had a delicious barbecue, It was all very nice and yummy! Baby thanks daddy...the grill master! :)

Nos nos divertimos muito no dia da independencia. Passamos umas boas horas na praia, so nos 3(e meu buchao! hehe). Ethan ama praia e a agua ate que tem estado ok entao da p/ ele entrar. O clima esta muito bom tb e bem quente! Conhecemos ums familia brasileira la que mora bem proximo a nos, entao foi otimo. Vai ser muito bom p/ Ethan ter amigos brasileiros da idade dele por aqui. O filho mais velho do casal tem 4 anos e meio. Depois da praia eu dormi o resto da tarde enquanto John jogava video game com Ethan e entao ficemos um churrasco muito delicioso, estava tudo muito gostoso!! Bebe agradece ao daddy... O mestre da churrasqueira! :)

TAE KWON DO

Ethan and Sammy have been practicing Tae Kwon Do for about a month now. Ethan absolutely loves it and can't wait for the days where he goes to class. He says he wants to go everyday and he is so good at it...I guess all the years or Ninja Turtles have finally paid off. haha He loves martial arts and we are seriously thinking about having him continue doing tae kwon do since he loves it so much even do it's so damn expensive! So basicaly between school(that starts next august 29th), soccer league and tae kwon do my baby is gonna be a very busy bee and so will his mama..haha

Ethan e Sammy vem praticando Tae Kwon Do por mais ou menos um mes ja. Ethan ama e mal pode esperar pelos dias que tem aula. Ele diz que quer ir todos os dias e faz tudo tao direitinho e uma graca! Acho que todos esses anos de tartaruga ninja se pagaram ne?? haha Ele ama artes marciais e nos estamos pensando seriamente em deixa-lo continuar Tae Kwon Do ja que ele ama tanto mesmo sendo tao caro! Entao entre escola(que comeca agora dia 29 de agosto), liga de futebol e tae kwon do meu bebe vai estar bem ocupado...assim como a mamae dele...haha

fun day for mommy/dia divertido p/ mamae

I know I said I was not gonna be writting things that are not related to the kids anymore, but it's me and I had Isabeli in my tummy anyways! So... I had a super fun day yesterday. I went to see my friend Fabiana In LA. She has been in LA since past wednesday working. I drove down to Pasadena(where the shooting location was) and from there we went to this very nice brazilian restaurant...oh man!!! I ate like a pig! So much to choose from.. all you can eat meat, going around and around until you can have no more...that was so yummy!!!! Pretty expensive restaurant but amazing food, very much so worth while! We talked so much and laughed and tried to get someone to take a good picture of us...hahaha no one could use my camera right! haha but we got a few good ones so I will post here... :) Got home at almost mid night. Fabi leaves today to NY for a day and then straight to Paris for the high fashion shows that start tuesday(if I am not mistaken). SOOOOOO awesome to see you again friend, had a blast! come back soon!!! :)
