Daniel's "try-out" Karate lesson

We just got back from Daniel's "try-out" Karate lesson with "Mr. Daniel" and he loved it! I filmed the lesson so you get to see it too, enjoy!



After the lesson, he said he wanted to take classes so we signed him up and he got his first ever kimono with white belt -- he looks so cute wearting it!  He will start his first class this coming Friday! He is SO excited and we are too!

The Budding Musicians!

Daniel and Enya were reunited today and had so much fun together! Friends for almost 4 years!

Family Photo Shoot: Grussai Part 2

Photos from Brazil: Grussai Part 1

We spent one week in Grussai, the beach town outside my mother's home town of Campos in Brazil, over New Years. It rained most of the time but we still had a wonderful time catching up with the extended family. Daniel had a blast playing with his cousins and felt comfortable even though they all spoke Portuguese. It was so wonderful to see him playing and loving Grussai too -- just like I did as a little girl! So very special to be there, we loved every moment of it!

1. New Year's Eve with the extended family -- so wonderful to see everyone again and a great way to start 2012
