And Inácio is growing...

Our baby Inácio is almost 2 months old and he weights 8 pounds and he is 21 inches long now. He is an adorable baby who loves to sleep all day. He's starting to smile when we tikle his little face, he is just a bundle of joy.
His big sister Bella loves to "take care" of him, she likes to give him his binkie, put on him her pink baby close.LOL she is funny that way. But her and her little brothers are having a lot fun with their new baby brother, they love him, and so do we, mommy and daddy.

We are happy

This has been a very good week, we have been happy and good things has happen to us. Our little Inácio is doing great and I'm so happy that his eyes are going blue. Bella, Kadin and Leander love to be around their little brother. Bella and Kadin like to hold him, and Leander likes to kiss him on the top of his head. They are just cute!

Brent, is getting ready for his graduation here in 9 days, he is very excited and he can't believe he is so close to be done -not eitheir I believe he is almost done, oh boy! I'm so proud of him!- Only 9 days and my "lindo" is going to be officially a Manufacturing Engineer. Congratulations honey!!!


Now me, I'm doing pretty good, specially after the phone call I received from my brother and my sister from Brazil. That made me so happy!!! I was very glad to hear from them.
Other good news from Brazil that I heard is that my best friend Lucy finally got her visa to come to USA, I'm so happy for her and her husband Ben, because they finally get to be together after a 15 months of waiting for her visa.


And the other good news is that my dear friend Denise is going to have a baby boy! Congratulations to both of them.

Living one day at the time

Life is so precious, is so great.
Full of challenges that sometimes sees to be unberable; impossible to the point where blind us for the true meaning of the why we are here. But is during those trials that we must learn to aprecciate what life has already offered us, and aprecciate everything that we already have. Is during the hard times we must learn to be greateful for the things that money can't buy, because those things, they last forever. But it's when we get so close to walk in a path where there is no coming back, that we learn how powerful and strong love can be.
But it's living one day at the time that we must learn, that it is possible to be happy even with all the imperfections that we all have, because there is no need to be perfect, because happiness brings perfection with it self.
