Where did July go??

WOW, July came and is almost gone, and here we are in only our 2nd post of the month... Shame on us!

This month has been full of great activities though!

We have been enjoying our municipal pool (with the floating hippo, currently a big hit with our little rascal):



The best part of July? Vovó from Rio was with us:



Amélie and Vovó played a lot together! Also, we of course went to our favorite breakfast place (Vovó loves their pancakes too):



It was fun to realize that our little rascal understands pretty much everything in Portuguese! Vovó, as always, had infinite patience in dealing with our spirited Amélie!

Transition, toddler style:
M: Amélie, Vovó is leaving today, she will take a big plane and go back to Rio... When are we going to see Vovó again, do you know?
a: On the computer Mammy!

So thank you very much Vovó for a great visit, and see you again soon on the computer :)!

4th of July Weekend

What are we up to during our 4th of July Weekend?

We have been to the movies two days in a row, to go and see 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'. Great fun for the whole family, and when you add popcorn to the adventure, these were probably record times in terms of the longest stretches during which Amélie stayed in one spot...

Case and point about her ability to stay in one spot when we tried to have her relax before bed time tonight:



Our plans for tomorrow, going to the movies again of course :)...
