We Love the Beach

Galveston is on a short distance from our home so we love to go have luch and check out the waves when we have a chance. Julia seems to enjoy it too.

She is completely intrigued by the camera

 

 

Julia at 4 Months

Here is Julia at 4 months. Time is going by so fast.... She loves to "talk" and have giggle sessions with mom and dad. In fact, you can hear her say "dahdahdahdah" almost as if she is asking for her daddy. We also have to keep a close eye on her because she can move around at the blink of an eye! She is also such a big girl with her pierced ears - a true Brazilian-American beauty. Still all this charm has not gone to her head - she continues to be the sweetest little baby who sleeps well and smiles all the time.

It is Beggining to Look a Lot Like Christmas

December 4th - Snow in Houston!

Thanksgiving Weekend

It had been a long time since we went camping so we decided to go on Thanksgiving weekend. Raquel was not sure about how Julia would do with the cold, so we decided to get a screened shelter instead of using the tent. It worked great. We got enough plastic to wrap the shelter and it set-up a small heater for Julia. We stayed dry and warm for 2 nights and 2 days.

But even with the shelter we still encountered some wild life at the park. check-out this cute little bear.

I think we scared it.... but it was so cute we had to keep it.

 

But soon enough it got used to us and had a great time.

Snugly mornings with mom and dad are great.

 

Julia also enjoyed looking at the fire

but the smoke was a bit too much.

  

We hope to do it again soon

What a Turkey!

We had a very nice and simple Thanksgiving this year. We stayed at home relaxing until it was time to have dinner with our next door neighbors - Steve and Vicky. Here are a some photos of our little turkey relaxing with us.

Two Beautiful Girls

Today we had a very lovely visit by the Kehn family - Dave, Kathy and Clair - and the two most beautiful girls I have ever seen got to spend some time together.

Thanks for coming by and the cool outfits! We hope to see you again soon!

Julia at 3 Months

Julia is growing like a weed ... a cute weed. Here is a picture of my two cuties together at Galveston with their cool shades.

This month she found her hands (she found it amusing to see her fingers moving), realized she has feet/toes (she looked at me as if to say: Mom! What is that?!), loves to look us in the eye and have "conversations" (cute grunts accompanied by perfectly synchronized lips, tongue and facial expressions), loves to stand-up (with help from mom and dad) and tries to sit-up by herself on Aunt Nikki's bouncy seat.

God is so good!

We praise him for making all things perfect in his time!
