Mother's Day And Recent Fun Times


Hi Loved Ones! Sorry for the silence; we were sick during the last couple of weeks but thankfully, are all better now.

Today was Mother's Day here in the U.S. and I was treated very lovingly by Jonny and Daniel. Jonny gave me a special mouse-pad with photos of Daniel and a home-made card from Daniel and Jonathan David with photos. Daniel also made a special gift in Sunday school for me: he painted a vase (with his name and that said "I love you") and planted flowers and drew his hand on a beautiful pink heart which I have now displayed proudly on the wall!





Daniel said some cute things today; he noticed I was wearing different earrings and necklace and he said: "Wow, nice mamae!" It felt as if I was being admired by my little boy, very special. Jonny asked Daniel: "Doesn't mamae look beautiful?" And he replied: "Yeah!"


The weather is still very spring like - hot days mixed with cooler, windy ones. But on a recent warm afternoon, I kept Daniel busy on the deck playing with water - very simple, just a couple of bowls, spoon and jug, and he had was busy for over an hour while I cooked dinner! I also got some cute close-ups of him that afternoon.






We went to a Truck-Touch Fair this past Saturday and it was lots of fun - except for when we had to wait in line, Daniel doesn't get the concept yet so it was challenging at times. He enjoyed seeing all the different trucks, touching and going inside of them. We also got to do some painting which he loved - must try it at home soon, he really is enjoying artsy things more!


















Wishing you a blessed week ahead!

  1. I love your update. What a brilliant idea, to have a Truck Touch Fair, I have never heard of it, but I can imagine it would be a hit anywhere in the world with little boys. Daniel looks totally entranced sitting at the steering wheel! I hope you get to try painting at home I guess it's not so messy if you have plenty of newspaper or something.
    It is just great to see what a charming little boy our Wonder Boy is becoming.

  2. I wonder for how long Daniel will want to become a truck driver! Glad you enjoyed the Mothers' Day and that the boys made a fuss of Mummy. It's super that you make such a lovely blog and we are really looking forward to a meet up in the autumn. Lots of love from Fordingbridge xx

    Aninha-Jonny,

    Thanks a lot for the update of your blog with beautiful pictures and wonderful news about Mother's Day gifts, cuddles and seeing our Boy Wonder enjoying "driving" the trucks! How special opportunities Daniel is having in his life! We are back in Portugal and preparing to go to Papua New Guinea for over 3 months. But we will continue seeing and "matando a saudade" of our Little Prince through your blog. Then....you have a huge responsibility for the months to come. Otherwise I will not be able to survive without to see "a paixao da vozinha". I love him very very much! With God’s blessings and lots of love for you three. Vozinha and vozinho de Portugal.
