We have finally moved!!!!

Friends and family, we are here! At the new house!
I am sorry we have not written in a while, but we have been really busy packing and moving!
Noah is exstatic! He went from not wanting to come home to not wanting to leave the "casa nova" at all! We took him to see Aunt Fabi yesterday for a few hours so that mommy and daddy could do some serious unpacking...and when I called to check on him: "Noah wants to go to casa nova, mommy!" Soooo cute!
Oliver loves is too, but there is not much awareness there, I don't think. He is happy as long as we are happy...and as long as his nigh-night is here, and yes, Oliver, your frozen milk is in the new freezer! ;-)
The house is so empty, but so full at the same time! We are sooooo happy to start our new journey here, the four of us.
I will have pictures later this week!!!
Love you!

You are 5-months old already!!!





Filho, amor da minha vida, you are 5 months already!
You are almost sitting without help of your worm. Today you were playing inside it and I laughed, and you immediately turned around on your own to look at me.
It took a while for Miss Claire to tell us, but you are already rolling over. You have not done it for daddy and I yet though...that is ok, it will come!
You are the happiest baby we have ever met. All we need to do is look at you, and you open the biggest smile, brightening the place and making everyone around you happy.
Today you went to work with me, and everyone there was in love with you (of course). We spent a couple of hours there, and then went home. You are not feeling too well, but you still smile. If only all mommies in the world had an easy one like you!
You came to our lives to bring so much happiness, Oliver. And it is so peaceful with you around.
Mommy wants you to know that she will always be here for you, always. I love you so much it hurts.
You are growing so fast. This week you did not want to eat jar food, and it is ok. Take your time...we are by no means rushing you, filho. You can stay this little for as long as you want...
Thank you for choosing us as your family, little angel. We feel truly blessed.
Your brother clearly does not know what it is to live without you...and neither do we.
Daddy and I have not been on the beach for a while, but looking at your face gives us the same peace as when we used to be able to sit and watch the ocean.
I love you, love you, love you, filho. Thanks for being part of me, part of my life, for being mine.
Te amo mais que a vida...

Our visit to Anderson Orchard's Pumpkin Patch



















































































We got to visit Anderson Orchard the weekend of the 20th, when Noah got sick, and we had a blast! Marcio and I were a little disappointed at what was left of the pumpink patch, but I guess we are just new parents trying to learn things to do with the kids, and now we know that it was probably too late if we really wanted to see the pumpkins on the patch...oh, well, next year we will try to get there earlier!
Noah and Oliver really enjoyed the day, though.
Noah was amazed with all the pumpkins, and wanted to bring them all home to make Jack-O-Lantens, like he calls them. He really liked the raspberries too, and ended up having lots of them with aunt Fabi. That's why we thought he was sick, but it ended up being the stomach flu.
Noah even made a new friend, who asked us to take a picture of her with him!!!
Noah enjoyed picking a pumpkin and weighing it with daddy.
Oliver liked to see all the people around, but was not specially thrilled with being put in the middle of all those huge pumpkins. He was probably wondering what in the world was going on! Happy Fall Everyone!!
