Photos Highlighting Special Moments Of The Past Month

To start, some cute photos of the boy wonder...

And of Buffy too!

 Every couple of weeks or so Nena has us over for lunch and spoils us with her love and food...

When tia Fafa visited us for Daniel's 3rd birthday, she got to enjoy tia Nena too...

And Daniel as always...



Then vozinha and vozinho arrived and pampered us for 3 weeks. Lots of wonderful moments together...



 

Let's just say Daniel enjoyed being the "baby" of the family again!

And what a special present Daniel got: Vovo Stephen wrote a book for him called "Daniel the Fire Chief and Fergus the Fire Dog", which included some illustrations from Uncle Thomas, Stephen's son. It's one of Daniel's favorite books now! The other main character is Enya, the Fire Woman!

We spent several hours in DC one day with old friends and Daniel had so much fun playing with Alex, Helen's son, who will soon be 11 (he was only a few months old when he came to our wedding!).

We had Dim-Sum for lunch at a fantastic Chinese Restaurant. It was Daniel's first time and he loved it -- must be the Chinese genes!



As always, tea was a favorite -- Chinese green tea!



With special friends from our time in Sri-Lanka and Holland...



Tired boys after lots of playing...Alex was just great with Daniel!



Jonny and I went away on a "24 hour honeymoon"(first time we got away together alone since Daniel was born) and my mother and Stephen took care of Daniel for us and visited with family in town...

As a special thank you, we took vozinha and vozinho out to a Japanese restaurant and it was fun to dress Daniel and papai in a "doctor shirt" (as Daniel likes to call white collared shirts)!

And then it was time to say good-bye, once again, at the airport...

We miss having them around so much... but we are focusing on being grateful for the special time we had together, first with my sister, and then with vozinha and vozinho. Thanks again for coming tia Fafa, vozinha and vozinho! We love and miss you!
