Me and my Dad

My Dad lives in Japan and I always think how amazing it is to have all the technology to keep us connected so close using Skype or e-mails. I remember 20 years ago, it was so expensive to talk to someone living so far and when we spoke on the telephone we could listen our own voice and that was so boring... Nowadays I can talk to my Dad as he was on the same town, it´s so loud and clear !Amazing!!

We talk sometimes and he sends me images , photographs from there and I´d like to share one of them with you.

The one above is at my house and sometimes this cute little squirrel appears right in front of me when he gets down from the tree and the next photo is from my Dad and I love this one because of the Mt.Fuji which I think it ´s so beautiful . The clear water from the river and the blue sky is something I miss from his hometown. And I miss him too but it´s always so great to hear his voice on the phone.
Tomorrow my daily routine will change, my daughter´s going back to school , her piano lessons begins and I am pretty excited to pick her up at school again after a long time staying home.

Sending you lots of love and welcoming August!

Holiday

It´s winter but we are so lucky that the sun is warm and we can spend these holidays under the blue sky and some lovely moments just the three of us.


Some cookies to warm up our afternoon...

In the morning, inside home:
Baby C is discovering new things to play with: his own hands!

It´s been such a wonderful experience and lots of learning to spend the day with a baby and a 7 year old girl. They can´t play together so, sometimes there are some difficulties that I must deal with but anyway my days have been very exciting!

Wishing you a lovely weekend and lots of joy to all of you!!

He & She

It´s been a long time that I don´t come here to share with you my days but I can tell you , it´s been quite a busy time down here!

Our little girl has become a big sister and she has been very patient with her little brother who doesn´t know how to communicate but crying . We are learning this new language and so is she! For two months she acted as an adult but suddenly she couldn´t stand it anymore and she cried a lot and she expressed her true feelings about this new boy who is taking a lot of her Mom´s time. And I really miss my moments with her and only with her... And I wonder how will I manage this from now on...


But most of the time she is like this, very happy, full of joy and always playing and running and doing something around our home and I love looking at her with my little one in my arms.


I wish one day she will understand how much I love them both... I really do!!

Thank you for your visit , I wish you all a very joyful day!!!

Playing outside ...


Wishing you all had a great Mother´s Day!With you daughters and mothers and friends and aunts and so on and so forth...

Welcome May!

I´ve been spending these Autumn days at home, cooking a lot, organizing and taking care of my little almost 2 month baby.


And outside I see the beautiful nature offering lots of amazing fruits , I wish I had more time to pick them all up and maybe make some jam and give to my friends... Well, not this time.



This is the view from my window, I can hear two or three blue birds ( I don´t know their names) playing or trying to get some juicy bite from the fruits, I like that!

Almost everyday there´s a blue sky that I wanted to take pictures so I can look at them at night and I can remember how great was this day...

The coconut tree is full of these little fruits and squirrels and birds share the food in the morning, peacefully...

And this little boy is growing day after day and I know I will miss every minute of these days...



Wishing you a lovely start to this beautiful month: May

These days

Tiny little fingers... this is what I´ve seen all these days


This little boy is growing day by day, he sleeps like an angel and sometimes he has that smile that suddenly appears on his face, so cute!


And I am in need of this, a lot!
COFFEE!
To keep me awake in the evenings, mornings...

But then, at the end of the day I just think one thing:

"Today was a good day"

God bless all the little ones , the big ones , all the loved ones! And I wish you a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by!

César

Hi everyone, I am back after a couple weeks and here is Cesar, our new baby boy! He arrived on March 6th and we are at home, learning lots of new things again and Camila has been fantastic as a big sister helping us on whatever she can.

Here we are surrounded by diapers , phone calls, gifts and cryings !!!

The Autumn season is almost here and I can feel that the breeze is chilly and the sun is shy in the afternoons when I look out of the window as I nurse my baby...

Wishing you a beautiful week , with much love...

Summer Days

I am sorry for not coming here for a while, it´s been quite busy and... hot! These days have been really hot but I can´t complain, I like Summer!!!

We had a visitor last week in our garden: a big sized lizard!!!
And our weekend was spent at the seaside, on my brother´s boat, eating fruits and barbecue...
Oh, by the way, today it´s my brother´s birthday so I want to wish him all the good things in life, health and love, always!!!


We had such a good time with our family spending some quiet time, admiring the nature around us.

And now I want to show you how big is my belly , I am 8 months pregnant!!

Wishing you a wonderful week to all of you!!!!

joy of a new life

Each and every day my belly is growing!!! I had forgotten how it was , the only thing that bothers me now is at sleeping time , I´ve got no position to do so...

Anyways... I am so very excited and happy for this little boy that´s growing here inside and I´ve been making some things for him.

I went to my old books and magazines to take a look and I found out this pretty little banner that I made in 2 hours ( the time I spend choosing fabrics are the longest!) and finally I came up with this blue one!! It´s by Alicia Paulson ´s book and I really adore her and her creations!
Some friends had made beautiful handmade things for my baby and I am keeping all of these treasures in a small old fashioned trunk...

These onesies came from my Mom , pretty, hum? I like the pretty little alligators!


I guess I stopped sewing before going to Japan last month and now that I started making these banners I feel centered, something that keeps me healthy and focused... I needed that! It´s my second pregnancy but all those fears and doubts that comes with motherhood are back again...Plus , this strange feeling of the possibility of loving two children, will I love this one as much as I love my little girl???

I think it´s just a matter of time to get all the answers , right?

Wishing you all a joyful week with less rain , please...

Thank you for your patience!!!
