Well, I told you it would be a busy couple of months, with the last couple of weeks being no exception. The last two weeks of the semester were crazy, as the kids are getting ready to end their school year. But before the week started we needed to go to São Paulo to buy... Continue Reading →

There was a lot of travel for a couple of weeks so I didn’t have much time to work on posting, which means you get another long post. Sorry, not sorry. English Camp The boys love English camp. Mason and Tuck are in the back row. Tuck is on Danny’s shoulders. I wish the picture... Continue Reading →

Things continue to be busy. I’m guessing that will be the case until the end of the semester. I really couldn’t be prouder of our boys. They just jump in and do whatever is asked of them; from the simple task to the more hard labor stuff. I love this. Mason was exhausted after digging... Continue Reading →

Soccer, fire, Florida team, a hurricane, Monte Verde, more leaks, a death of a fish, a dog, a broken laptop, and trips to Botucatu, Igaraçu do Tijetê, and Barra Bonita. It has been a busy several weeks and I got a little behind in posting, so let’s get caught up. Grab your coffee and a... Continue Reading →

Just a regular couple of weeks with not much too report. So, Mason and I were in charge of devotionals IN PORTUGUESE one of those weeks. Mason had the 2nd-5th graders and I had PreK-1st.

With Marcos back as our requested driver, we hit the Friendship Bridge to Paraguay. I really can’t tell you what crossing the border is like because we just gave our passports to the driver and he took care of the rest each time. The border city is Ciudad Del Este in Alto Paraná. Right at... Continue Reading →

Of course, by now you’ve guessed what country we headed to next. Iguazu Falls (or Cataratas del Iguazú on the Argentina side) are beautiful. They give you more of a top down view, which is an amazing contrast to the Brazilian side. You really need to view the falls from both sides. We had a... Continue Reading →

Iguazu Falls (or Foz do Iguaçu on the Brazil side) I have been so excited about this trip. We planned it months ago and it’s finally here. Given the fact that we visited three different countries and I have lots of pictures, I am going to split this trip up into three posts; one for... Continue Reading →
