Bella is recovering very well!!! :)

Bella´s surgery went very well and she´s recovering very good!It was a heart breaking experince but everything is going good! :) Im amazed by how good she´s following her rules of not doing anything but walk! She cant leave with Jack and I tomorrow to USA until she has her 1 week follow up which is on wed. She will be staying with my family in Brasil and my mom will take her back when the doctor gives the ok to travel back home! Thank you for all your support and love! :)

Pray for Bella!

Bella has 2 hernias that need to be taken care of and she will be going into surgery tomorrow! The surgery should take 2 -3 hours, she will then be at the recovery room for about 4 hours and hopefully we can go home after all that. She is not going to be able to run, jump, swin, anything but walk for a whole month, which is going to be pretty hard for an active 4 year old kid! :( Jared and I are pretty worried about our little girl but she will be OK! :) Pray for our little princess!!!

Festa Junina!

Festivities in the month of June are part of the rich and beautiful Brazilian culture. June is one of the most special months of the year. It is at this time that Brazilians enjoy typical country food and drink, such as corn-based sweets and savory dishes, and drinks such as quentão. During this month people celebrate the three June saints: Saint Antonio, Saint John and Saint Peter. All over the country, schools, churches, companies, entities and city halls organize their own events. For the festival to be good, it has to recall the country culture and be held in a space known as an "arraial". In this place tents are put up where typical country food and drink are sold. The "arrail" can also have bonfires, greased poles (pau-de-sebo) and a lot of people dressed in country outfits.

Bella and Jack had a Festa Junina at their school and it was soo much fun. They got to dress up and dance the quadrilha. They had yummy typical food and the decoration was beatiful. It was so much fun to have the kids see this part of the Brazilian culture and for me to be at a Festa Junina like the old days! :)

Bella and Jacks school!

Bella and Jack have been going to a super cool school since they got in Brasil. They love it! Their Portuguese has improved a lot and they have tons of friends and fun there! Thanks mom and dad! :)

It´s winter here in Brasil but that did not stop the kids begging me to go to the beach when we went to the beach house for the weekend. The water was freazing but they loved playing in it. They had tons of fun! I just wish we could live closer to a beach!!!
