Sunday Wrap Up

Well in a nutshell....

Baby kitty came back but left again.  Saturday chili party was a huge hit and everyone had a great time as the chili was awesome.  After I went to a student’s party and had fun.  A hangover, then today we went to the wedding of my friends.  Too tired to say much but it was a busy weekend and we are all exhausted.   Early morning tomorrow so good night.

Baby Kitty

Today we found a Baby kitten in our garage.  It was love at first sight, but then she ran away.  Probably went back to her home as we didn’t think of that possibility.  We took her on a long walk, fed her, made a litter box and she took a long nap on the couch but after about 4pm she left and we haven’t seen her again tonight.  We have been careful not to fall in love with the street animals and our first love was with a street kitten.  

I asked the kids what we should name her and they both said “how about Casi?” (Which happens to be our cat’s name).   I was expecting something funny.   I will ask again…”Awesome Cat” or “snort” and Gabi said “Kitty”.  Not much from the peanut gallery tonight.  We will see if the cat again tomorrow, I thought we were a convincing home .   

Chili Party

Well next big party is going to be a chili party.  Addisun's mom sent her chili packets, they dont sell chili powder here can you believe it.  So Saturday if you are reading this... you are invited.  Just bring the beer!

Gabi is 3!

The Many Faces of Gabi…
So, today we had Gabi's 3 year old B-day party at her Grandma & Grandpa's. She looked gorgeous today and had a blast. Not only did Gabi get a few gifts, but Ben got his Wii that Tia Dani brought as a Christmas gift from my family in America. It was a beautiful day with family and everyone was sleeping by 8pm tonight.
Today was another holiday here in Brasil "The day of the dead" not like Halloween...I think more like Memorial Day.

Actually it is called Dia de Finados

Happy Halloween

Well this is the last Holiday that I spent in the U.S.A before I left almost a year ago for Brasil.  I can’t believe how the time has flown by.  Unfortunately we did not dress up but we did read a couple of scary stories and watched “Coraline” as a family last night. 

Tis the season for the Holidays and I will miss celebrating with my friends and family in the U.S., but making new memories here.  Some of the hardest holidays have been the ones that aren’t celebrated here like Halloween, Thanksgiving & 4^th of July.
