Halloween

More birthday pics.

What a mess! Happy Birthday, Thomas! We love you =o)

Thomas is one year old!

Wow! It's been a long time since we have last added something here. We have been busy. Thomas turned one on Oct26th and we had a Halloween party for him. It was a lot of fun. He had some friends over, also Pappo, GrandMona, GrandMa & Aunt Rayna. Thanks everyone for taking the trip down here to celebrate with Thomas. We did webcam with my Dad (thanks Pappo!) and talked on the phone with my family. Thomas was dressed as Sebastian, the Little Mermaid crab, and Bianca as JoJo (from Jojo's Circus - Disney). They were very, very cute. Our friends at the party were: Hope, Daniel, Liliane, William & Kaylee - she was just 2 weeks old. We are very happy that they were able to come. Thank you. =o) We had some interesting snacks, such as sausage toes, rotten teeth apples, haha, and other things. Listened to the Doodlebops and had a wonderful time. We celebrated on the 27th (Sat), and then on the 31st it was Halloween and we did Trick or Treat in our neighborhood. GrandMa was a fortune teller, Aunt Rayna was an ... lets say ... super ancient lady haha, I was a witch and Abram was ... we don't know yet. hahaha.
Ah, also in October it was my brother's Guilherme birthday. Happy Birthday!!!! =O)
Other big news is that Thomas started walking during his party! Cool uh?! Now he is great at it.
He's gotten 3 teeth now and he says one word I guess .. I say 'oi thomas tudo bem - how are you?' he says "ta, ta, ta" meaning he is well. haha. Bianca is great. She is talking like a politician and she loves to dance and sing, specially the Doodblebops. She still loves Dora a lot and other cartoons too. She also enjoys drawing a lot, pushing Thomas away, playing with her old new kitchen hehe and cooking with me. I just love seeing how big they are getting and how much fun it is the day by day routine, watching them grow. Thomas likes looking at books and, more than anything, he loves his airplane. Oh boy! He will walk holding onto that for a long time. Sometimes even pushing Bianca.
Well, I guess that is it for now. We are very excited about going to see our family in Brasil soon. Probably next post will be from there =O) We just cannot wait to see everybody. I am so anxious for them to see Bianca and Thomas. Oh my! We will be thinking about our family here while we are there, wishing that everybody could be together, but we won't complain, because we are very fortunate to have and see everybody, at least sometimes.

Have a great day everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read it.
Tati.

We're here!

Hi everyone!! We know, we know, it's been forever since we last wrote in here, but we are back now! Wow! Thomas is gonna be one year old in 4 days! He will have a costume party. Actually, a Halloween party! We wanted to do just costume and not halloween, but the halloween plates and cups were soooo cute hehehe. We will post pictures after the party. We are so happy to know that some friends will come, Aunt Rayna, GrandMa, Pappo & GrandMona. Of course we wish everybody could come, but of course it is not possible, so we may have some webcam section with Vovô. =o) We love seeing the Halloween decorations in our neighborhood. So people really get into it. hahaha We have some things up, including the Christmas tree with litthe ghosts, pumpkins and spiders (all plastic cups haha). We will have to check the sales after Halloween for some more things for next year. =o)
We went to a Pumpkin patch a few days ago. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of pumpkins hahaha.
Also, we want to send a big hug to our Tio Guilherme, who turned 28 on Oct11th. Te amamos!
Beijos para todos.

Thomas x Dora ... Who gets the bottle?

Aren't you proud?

Bianca showed me her new trick today. Don't ask where she learned it. I have just no idea. Then, later, while showing it to Abram, she wanted me to do it, I kept saying 'no, no'. Then she asks me: "Red? Green?" Thinking that maybe I just wanted a different color. huahauhuahua Oh boy!

Grandparent's Day.

This is a special post, to send a mega kiss to our Grandparents here in the US.
It was GP day here yesterday and we want to say we love all of you very much.
Thanks for everything and, one more time... we wish we could see everybody often. Or, at least more often. =o)
Bianca & Thomas.

Renatha, come back soon! =o)


Hi everyone. It has been so long since we last posted.
We have been very busy. Last month it was my Mom, my Dad and my Uncle Tony´s birthday.
Lots to celebrate! We had a super cool party for Daddy, luau style! (above is mommy preparing the watermellon. more pics soon!). For my Mom, the celebrations are still happening! We went to this new place in Fort Worth, it is like the beach. It is like a lake with sand around it. Super cool. (http://www.burgerslake.com/) And we will go to a new place here next Saturday, it is like a city inside the city! Very beautiful. With lots of shops and restaurants, movie theatre, etc. It is called ..... hehehe I forgot now! My Dad, again, made a treasure hunt for my Mom. He gave her a water camera and a blender (she really wanted it). It was not easy (I mean it!) to find the gifts. With about ten clues all over the place, including the bottom of the pool and a bench at the park! Oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!! =oD Also, my Mom and Dad have been married now for 4 years. They got married on Mom's birthday =o) For Uncle Tonny, well we could not be there, but Bianca made a beautiful card for him, which he can sell on ebay for big bucks when she is a famous artist hahahahahah.
My Mom's former boss Diogo has a daughter named Renatha. We didn't know her, but she was here in August for training with her new company, and we got to meet her. We L.O.V.E.D her! Had such a great time! Please come back soon! =o)
Some pictures now.

Have a wonderful day and happy birthday everybody!

More pictures from the weekend.

A few more pictures from the weekend and some extra ones! =o)

Weekend in LA.

Hi everyone!
What a wonderful weekend we had! We went to visit the family in LA.
Thomas met Papa for the first time. We got to see Aunt Pat and Aunt Susan, which was super cool. Even got some gifts! Thank you! =o) Also, we saw Emmy, Sam and Benet, our cousins. Went to Pappo's house where we got to spend time with GrandMona, visited Aunt Rayna's new place, where Uncle Tony wanted us to beleive that fuschia is the same as pink. And even visited Neil and Donna, where Bianca got to sing a little bit in his DogHouse.
We stayed at Papa's house and he made ice-cream for everybody. It was d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s =o)
We wish we didn't live so far away, so we could see them often. It took us almost 8 hours to get back, but thank God, we made it. Soon we will visit GrandMa and K-Pa in AR. And then, maybe next year, we will visit our family in Brazil. That would be great if there was some kind of transportation that would put us at everyone's house in about 1 hour or so =o)

Pics coming soon.
Love,
Bianca & Thomas.

Teeth.

Hi everybody!
Here is Thomas! I just want to say that I have two teeth now! Uh huuuuuuuuuuuuu. They are about 7 days old or so. I love having them! They are very useful and I look better, I think. =o)
See this funny picture of my sister feeding me. She had a lot of fun and me too! Then, there is a picture of Bianca and her favorite TV show. Caillou! Ahhh, the one of me and the basket, Bianca loves doing that to me =o/ She will see when I am bigger! hahaha
Have a great Sunday!
