Ola Portugal!

Activities with Lawrence

Building models with magnets
Spending time with mommy at the beach
Building puzzles and learning Portuguese
Outing with cousins

With only a month and a half for the arrival of our next little one, I'm trying to take as much time as I can with Lawrence, giving him extra attention, investing more time in his schooling and doing lots of different activities. Project time is the highlight of his day and hes always sure to remind me of it. The Beka activity books have been great to use in those days that u dont have much time to plan or crack your brain to figure out something to do.

Baby shower

Last Saturday I was surprised to find out that my sister Claire had planned a baby shower for me and I only found out about it and hour before in happened. For a whole week she was all sneaky about it and made me believe that it was a normal party and hang out. Well was I surprised when I came into the living room and it was all nicely decorated and there where snacks and beer for all ( sniff, she forgot my beer without alcohol). he! Tks Claire for planning all that and making me and the baby feel special and for all of u guys that brought gifts and presents for the baby. Love you guys tons.
I wonder who the father is. Ha!
Everyone fighting for a little bit of the tummy!
Opening the baby's presents!

The cousins Choir

Last week after lunch Lawrence and Brianna went to the Living Room and started singing and playing piano together. Brianna is having piano classes once a week so she practices often and Lawrence joins along with his singing.... So cute.

They do so well together that Im seriously thinking about forming a little band with both of them. ha

Summer fun

Lawrence is rediscovering his passion for water. Now that the weather is warming up you can enjoy the cold waters of the Rein River and swim in its clean and clear waters.

Happy Birthday Sean!

Last Sunday we had a little party for my nephew Sean Alex that turned a year old on the 5^th of this month. He and his cousin Lawrence had a fun time playing on the play corner that Claire set up in the living room especially for his birthday. He got to try for the first time chocolate which he loved immensely and enjoyed it more than his presents, wrapping and all...ha!

Mmmm, cant hardly wait to eat all these sweets....
Wow, Swiss chocolate tastes fabulous!
Relatives and friends...
