Great weekend with great friends!!!

What a fantastic weekend! We ended up not making to the Race for the Cure, because of the rain. We drove all the way there, but decided not to get out of the car with the boys.

We had lunch with the Fulks, Keri and Bryce at the Fulks house. Noah and Oliver had a great time, and so did we. Of course we forgot our camera, so I have to wait until the ladies send me some pics and I will post them here! (Thanks Keri for the one below). Marcio and I feel truly blessed by the friends we made this past year. The best part is that they are here to stay, no matter where we all go...

Today (Sunday), we woke up early and headed to Lowes to buy mulch. I have been wanting a bird feeder for a while, so we got a really cute one, and Noah loved setting it up with daddy on our backyard.
We also bought a fridge for the garage, so that we can put beverages in there. I have been dreaming with that for a while (thanks to IRS I can have it now!).

We got the boys portraits taken at Super Target, and they turned our really good. The boys were such troopers. Oliver was exhausted by the end! I will put the link to the pics here as soon as I get them back.

Back home, while Marcio worked on the mulch, I played with the boys and took them to the playground, where they had a blast. It was nice out and there were lots of people out.








That is what we wanted, the sense of neighborhood. We are very thankful for being here, and for all the friends we have made.

Oliver's party supplies arrived, and they are sooooo cute! I can't wait to have people over. We finally have a place to receive our friends for a birthday party!!! Invitations will be sent this week.

The boys are loving the life outside. They got back inside and were exhausted. We had dinner, went downstairs for some Curious George, and they are finally both in bed...at the right time.

Do you want to hear how the weekend ended? With a call from Connie, another angel my friend Cristina sent my way! Connie will be coming here to visit and meet us tomorrow, and starting next week, she will come once a week to help us take care of the house!!!!! Marcio and I are ecstatic! We have decided that in order to keep our marriage and our sanity, Connie has made it in our budget!!!

Have a great week everybody!
