We're here! :)


At bedtime tonight Diego asked me, "Does God know if I will like yogurt for the rest of my life?" "He sure does!" So, I had to document this picture of a shelf full of yogurt so that Diego will be able to look back and remember just how much he liked yogurt as a young boy. They were on sale at Publix, so we stocked up. We're down to about 6 now.

Well, the past three days were fabulous. Ricardo's little sister, Alessandra (Tia Ale) and her fiancee (!) Benoit came to visit from Friday to this morning (Monday). They arrived late Friday night so we had a special meal with them without the kids and it was so great. On Saturday, Ale and I went wedding dress shopping and SHE FOUND IT!! It is absolutely gorgeous and it was such a privilege to take her shopping and to be with her when she found THE ONE! Of course we took Alexia along and she thought it was just so much fun!


On Saturday night we had family pizza movie night and watched Planet Earth


On Sunday we went to church where we enjoyed an fantastic sermon and wonderful music. It was great to introduce Ale and Benoit to so many of our church family. After church we went to Jason's for lunch and had a fun time...




...then we made a quick trip to the mall so they could buy some luggage...


...and then on to Piedmont Park for the afternoon...






We dropped them off at the Marta early this morning and we miss them already! Tio Benoit and Tia Ale, thank you for such a wonderful weekend!
After Marco woke up from his morning nap this morning, we headed to Ruth's house for an all day play date. It was just what we all needed, to say the least!

And of course cookie time!
An action shot of Ricardo and the kids playing soccer last weekend. Yes, it was warm enough for shorts!


Remember the soccer ball pinata we made? Well, here it is! It was so much fun to hit b/c it broke to pieces in no time!



LOVE this picture!
