You know those moments as a parent when an unusual silence creeps over the house, it's not even close to being dark outside, and you ask yourself and your spouse where are the kids? Sometimes, I think that it would be better just to sit and enjoy the silence because deep down in your gut you know that when you start the search, the end result will probably be something like this!!!!!!!!!! So instead of just Jasper getting into trouble on her own she now has a very willing partner in crime who loves to do everything her big sister does. Obviously the hiding in between the dollhouse and the dresser proves that at least the older one knew that what they were doing was wrong and the closed door and silence really just topped it all off! I truly believe that Jessi and Jasper will never have a case of cradle cap again in their lives, and that baby oil and bubble gum don't taste too good! I do however believe that Jessi won't have any problems going to the bathroom again for awhile and that their room will smell pretty good for awhile.

Do those faces just not say it all????

And so after putting them through the shower a couple of times and washing some very oily clothes, things are back to "normal" and we wait for the next time!!!!!!!!!

Since we are now back on line we can catch you all up on our lives once again.!!

So this blog is a tribute to our good friends in Gramado who we miss very much! They were a little concerned that although we had talked about having friends there nobody ever saw any pictures of them so here you go!!
This was our last churrasco together and as always the food was great but the time together was even better.


Dwayne and Fernando hanging out and Ju being silly. That's why we love them!!

Jaden and his buddy Uriel taking a couple

seconds to pose and then get back to their video game!

Levi, playing a game and having fun!

Erlo, Ju, Pri and Luca at there house where we had supper two nights before we left. We miss the chimarrao and good chats with them!

And oh those cheese buns!!!! Yum!

At our house we had no woodstove before we left so it was a bit chilly so jackets and touques were necessary to keep warm. We missed central heating while living in Gramado! Imagine your house is colder inside than outside and you don't have a stove to heat it up. Crazy! But with friends and fun you forget and just have a good time!

Alda, Ju and I enjoying our last time together!

We sure had some good times together and we look forward to the next time we can be together again. God gave us some great friends who were always there when we needed them and we hope that we did the same for them. We will be friends forever!
