Thanksgiving break/ Feriadão de Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving break is almost over. We are already feeling sad about it because we had such a wonderful time. Luiz had to work but no school, so he had more time for his girls! It was a lazy family week. We took much needed naps, played together, watched movies.


We had a great thanksgiving lunch with some friends. Cecilia had a lot o fun playing with friends. She is finally learning how to play by her self without having me by her side every time, which is great!

Today we went sledding right behind our apartment building. It was really fun. Cecilia was all dressed up, she could barely move. It is hard for her to walk with snow boots. She liked sledding with daddy.

O feriadão de Thanksgiving está quase acabando e já estamos com saudades. Foram dias muito bons. Luiz não teve aula durante toda a semana, só teve que trabalhar, então sobrou mais tempo para passar com suas meninas. Nos divertimos bastante em família, tiramos sonecas, brincamos, assistimos filmes.
Tivemos um ótimo almoço de Thanksgiving com amigos. Cecilia se divertiu bastante brincando com amiguinhos. Ela finalmente está aprendendo a brincar sozinha, sem ter eu sempre do lado dela, o que é muito bom!Hoje fomos escorregar na neve atrás do nosso prédio. Foi bem divertido. Cecilia tava toda enroupada que mal conseguia se mexer. Ela adorou escorregar na neve junto com o papai.

Cecilia's First visit to ER

Early this morning was Cecilia's first visit to ER. She wasn't sleeping at all at night. I thought she was hungry and gave her a little bit of milk. Right after that she started throwing up. In less the 2 hour she had vomited 5 times. So we decided to take her to the hospital, it was around 5 am.

She doctor examined her and gave her some iv fluids and also did some blood tests. He said it was a food bug. She is doing much better now, eating good and everything.

Essa madrugada foi a primeira visita da Cecilia a Emergência do Hospital. Ela não estava dormindo durante a noite. Pensei que tava com fome e dei um leite pra ela. Logo em seguida ela começou a vomitar. Em menos de 2 horas tinha vomitado 5 vezes. Decidimos levá-la ao hospital por volta das 5 horas.

O médico a examinou e deu soro e fizeram uns exames de sangue. Ele disse que era alguma coisa que ela comeu. Ela está bem melhor agora, comendo bem e tudo mais.

Adorable

Cecilia talking on the phone...I think she was calling daddy to come home soon.

It's been a while

I know it's been a while I don't post anything. We are still alive and happy....I've been busy writing a new blog in Portuguese. It's a "lds mommy blog". There aren't many mommy's blogs in Portuguese so I decided to start writing one. It's maesud.blogspot.com. It's been a lot of fun writing it.

Cecilia is 16 months old and even cuter. She is adorable. She likes to play with her blocks, she loves to read. She goes to her room, picks up a book or two and brings it to me so we can read it together. She likes to go outside for walks. She love to go see the temple, which we can from our apartment complex. She says: "popo"for temple. She already says some other words like: papai, moma, vovó, Afa(aut Rafa), please, thank you and a few others.

Every day that goes by I love even more being a stay at home mom. It is wonderful to be able to teach her things like praying, singing, reading. I love watching her grow and do a different thing every day.

Luiz is taking 21 credits at school this semester so he's been very busy with homework, projects and everything else. He only has one more semester to go! We are so happy to be almost done...

We had a great Halloween. Cecilia was a cute "Minnie Mouse". We went trunk or treating at the complex. It was fun.
