WORLD SERIES 2013- A HOUSE DIVIDED!

2013 has definitely been a year to remember! Not only was RJ was born, but born the year our two favorite teams go to the World Series! Dave's Dad, Jay, is from Boston and my sister in law currently lives there! Dave grew up a Red Sox fan! The "Green Monsta" and "Chowda" blood are not to be missed in this family but when Dave moved to STL the Cardinals grew on him too! I was born and raised in St. Louis and cant tell you how many Cardinal games are in my memory! Love those Red Birds and going to games, cheering on our team! STL will always be a part of us and I have so much love for the city..... SO.....LET'S GO CARDINALS!!!!!

Thank you to my dear friend Jen we have some great Family Divided photos!! Thanks for taking your time to do this for us Jen!

Life is Good

From Angola To Brazil To Portland USA! LUCIANA visits!!

Luciana means a lot to us and we were thrilled to see her. She came to the states to meet RJ and catch up with the kids. She looks the exact same and is doing really well in her new job in Angola and loving her life! We loved having her! She leaves in the morning and it has been a fast 5 days!

Come back soon Luc! We love you!

 

Luciana brought RJ the most beautiful white blanket from Brazil with a "B" on it- I will use this for RJ at church during his blessing. I love it, its SO pretty!

Katrina was all smiles when she got home from school and saw Luciana- it was SO fun!

The hugs!
