Priceless

Ana

São nove e nove você ainda nem voou
Cheguei e corri pra ducha
e depois pro ar
O Rio ascende em sua espiral quente
queimando, em partes a descolar

Você não precisa mais decolar
A fila crescia tanto que se esticava até América
E graças a uma certa fada
A preferência era tua
Foste teletransportada!

À primeira filha!
Primogênita herdeira do amor de mãe e do país do pai
Conjunção maternal de beleza verdadeira
anaelisabella!

O meio ano de saudade
eu deixo em tinta branca
a tristeza da partida
quase apagada
amarrada na garganta

Rio da piada da vida
sempre rio quando não choro

então enxergo que estás ao lado do bem
só ai fico mais calmo
a ele agradeço pelo aço, pelo abraço
até pelo vinho que continue vindo!
E por todo o resto

A visita faço em breve
Ah se eu pudesse!
fugir do forno pra neve!

SEVENTH MONTHIVERSARY CAKE!

I made this cake for Isabella's seventh monthiversary. It was inspired by her favorite stuffed animal. It even has a tag! (her favorite part of any toy!) It was really fun to make but it was more work that I thought it would be!

Meeting Xan!!!

Right before we went to Brazil, we got to meet Xan. Hillary came from Atlanta and we were able to get the cousins together. Bella wanted to give him a lot of love and he just wasn't having it! Men...

FUN IN THE KENNEL!

Ben, Bella and I went to the Zags x Peperdine game yesterday. It was fun to dress Bella up in full Zags gear. People thought she looked really cute. She enjoyed most of it and even slept for about 40 minutes, but at the end it was just getting too loud for her and the noise was startling her.The Zags won and we had a good time!

Figure Skating Championship 2010

Last Sunday(01/17/2010)we went to the Figure Skating Championship in the Spokane Arena.
It was really fun! We watched the Novice Men Competition and Novice Pairs. A 10 year-old Asian boy won! He was so cute and so good! Isabella had a good time too. She loves music so she enjoyed listening to the different songs. Grandpa Jim got her a really cute teddy bear that has ice skates on. We decided to call it Zambone! She loves it! She especially loves chewing on his ice skates. It was fun!

6 MONTHS!!!!!!!

6 months! Where has time gone?!?
Isabella gets smarter, cuter and funnier every day and it's wonderful to see her grow.
She is a sweet baby and we have so much fun together!
She has just started eating vegetables and fruits, she has 2 teeth coming in and she can babble like there's no tomorrow!
We love you Bella!

BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!!

We had a wonderful time in Brazil with family and friends. Warm summer weather, good food, good company and lots of love!
