our love weekend.

this weekend was one to remember. on saturday after we cleaned the church we spent the entire day in our pool downstairs. usually there are muito peeps down there on the weekend, but somehow we got the whole pool to ourselves for a good four hours. daniel played as a bubbling boat, dolphin, shark, race car, rocket, and many other things for the boys.

chalres is a water baby! oh baby! he has no fear and loves to press his older brothers buttons. henry is the opposite of a water baby and is a water worry wart. (it makes life easier for me). chalres likes to jump in the pool and go under and have henry run to his rescue. he giggles and then jumps into the pool. henry screams. it really is just the funniest watching these two play.

after the pool we got dressed and found ourselves at igutemi eating the tastiest fruit popsicle there ever was and roaming around the mall. on sunday daniel gave a talk and i gave the young womens lesson- in portugues! holla! it was actually a really great experience and i learned so much. there was only one girl that showed up- but it was perfect. then we had a bbq, played at the park with dad and then had family soccer games in our apartment. it was so wonderful spending two full days with daniel and talking and laughing and making memories with him. we were all so happy. this is what life is all about. i am so grateful that one more little person is coming to join the fun.

lets go us!

I said "one, two, three, smile!" and this is what i got!^^^^

wiggly!

 hey happy henry face!^^^

last weekend we went fishing! my fist time! henry's first time! charly's first time!

we had a fishy blast.

we went to a place that had about 6 different ponds (man made) each with a different kind of fish in them. our first pond, on my *first cast i caught a fish. wiggly was her name. we chatted, took pictures with her and then threw her back in. she liked us but was rather ready to say her good-byes and wiggle her way back into the pond. henry caught three by himself, with his bamboo fishing pole! i was so sad for the hook part of it all, but the man there said it doesn't hurt them (but how does he know that?). it was all catch and release- but we loved every bit of it!

*ok my real first cast i wound up a little too far and threw it right at the back of henry's head. yes, the hook! at his head! i freaked out and then he freaked out and then he screamed. but i think we were all fine and no blood.  hah!

oh and it was baby's first time too!^^^

happy monday to you!

back

hey folks, we're back in business.


the last 3 weeks hit us hard and we are finally feeling normal again. henry woke up today and shouts, "mommy! i happy! mommy, you happy too?" yes my dear, happy son, we are all happy in this apartment.

charles got some new walking shoes last week and loves to wear them and walk hand and hand with me. we walk everywhere. slow and and not so steady is the name of our game;) his hair is still red and makes us all giddy.

it has been cloudy for two days and i am loving every.single.second of the cool-ness.

so here's to more blogging! cheers!
