I couldn't get her to look at me with her super fun big sister dancing around behind me! Oh well!
Not quite so well posed but a cute smile!

4 Years!

Look at this cute young couple. This was us 4 years ago when we were packing up to move over here. Notice - we look younger... and there's no kids! Wow, how our lives have changed in 4 years. New home, new country, new language, and kids!

Also, my dad is there in the picture helping us load boxes onto this moving van. He's always helping with something - it was his 60th birthday yesterday! Happy birthday, Dad! I love you!

Our 4 year anniversary was on Thursday but my computer decided to die on Wednesday so this is late... poor sad computer...

A few days off

After a CRAZY busy month we were able to take a few days off and we spent one of them at the beach with our good friends. Here's the play by play of the day...

As many Portuguese do, our friends spend ALL day EVERY day at the beach for at least 2 weeks. So, we arrived late at 11am and settled in to enjoy the day. The water was beautiful and much warmer that California's beaches. We played in the water, played in the sand, napped (well, some of us), and got sunburned (some of us :-[ )... Jonathan taught them how to throw a frisbee (not common here)!


After a day in the sun we headed back to their place, freshened up and had a barbeque... complete with sopa like a good Portuguese kid needs at every meal...
This family has become really good friends...
(Carly fell asleep about 2 minutes after this picture. Poor exhausted baby girl!)

...and headed out for a night on the town... with 2 year olds!
Bounce house here we come!
There was a carnival across the street from their place with a carousel, bounce houses, trampolines, and little cars. Wow! The girls were in Heaven! Popcorn and Cotton Candy too!
We ended the night racing around in these bike/cars. It was so much fun!
Sooooo sweet! They've known each other their whole lives! It's pretty cute, really.
(Notice Katie with only one pigtail stil intact. It was a long day!)

It was great to get a few days off to recuperate after a busy month and even better to make fun memories with some friends.
