Updates, updates and updates!

Woah SO much has been going on! I guess I’ll give a quick update of everything that has been going on recently. I’ll try not to forget anything but really… It could just happen.

So first, Noah and Emma are really getting along; they like to play tag around the kitchen/hall wall. They usually run after each other and change directions when one catches the other. Noah gets very distracted and excited and he was looking behind to see if Emma was nearby and he tripped. He fell head first into a door frame. Stephen was watching them and it didn't look too serious at first since Noah wasn't crying but then Stephen told me “he’s bleeding.” So little Noah gashed his head. The cut was about an inch long and 2-3mm deep. Stephen took him to the hospital and he got the cut glued… He was so proud to come home and to say “Mommy, Noah went to see the doctor.” When I asked Stephen how it was, he replied “it was a bonding experience.” Hahaha…

Next! We've been exploring here a lot…  We went to a neighborhood town, visited some parks there, The kids had fun, we had a lot of fun, the weather was perfect… It was just nice!!!

Then it was Father’s day, the kids and I made salt dough for Stephen, it was nice, he loved it and has it at his office now… We had a nice day in general, went to another park nearby, took a nice walk and just relaxed. We had a nice BBQ after… It was really nice.

Then we had an airplane show… the kids were OVERLY amazed. They also had ice cream… So they were happy, we all know that ice cream equals happiness, right?

Emma and Noah also got to ride a friend's truck! They loved it, Emma is a natural. It's crazy... She was utterly comfortable in the truck, my friend said that his pre-teen had trouble getting into the truck but Emma was just... Getting in there. Oddly enough, Noah didn't really want to go in.

We also went to friend’s houses… Cooked a lot, and NOAH GOT A HAIRCUT. His hair is still long J Yes, I like long hair on toddler boys, so what? He looks REALLLYYYY cute.

I’m probably forgetting a bunch of stuff, it’s so busy recently, we've been passing a lot of time together but outside the house, we've been planning a lot of stuff, travelling a bit and relaxing in between. The kids are growing so fast. OH!!! Almost forgot, I’m definitely getting good at this thing they call driving. I've driven a hybrid, I've driven an electric car, I've driven a manual (I can shift!) and I've driven an automatic (borrrinnng). Anyways! I have two people teaching me how to drive (plus my instructors.) Stephen usually goes “SHIFT DAMNIT SHIFT, Sorry sweety, I love you, SHIFT!” And my friend, let’s call him A, is more of a “Come on, is that all you got? You’re in a 90 zone! Come on, ok ok, break” Lots of fun, two very different people, one who deeply cares about his car and the other one…who… is crazy really, and definitely not a great influence.

Okay! That sums it up!!! Nothing else is new on Carlinha’s life, I still love coffee just as much and I am STILL addicted to shopping!
