Get Your Motor Runnin'....

Here's our little speed demon on her Barbie Motorized trike!

We Love You, Nanny Blair

Gabriela's great-great-grandmother celebrated her 101st birthday today!

Nanny Blair, Happy Birthday, we love you so much.

We can't wait to come and visit you again soon.

Gabriela Turns Two!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our beautiful daughter!

How's that cake?

Fun in the sun!

Gabriela's first real beach adventure was a success! She loved running and jumping in the waves even though the water was cold. She was covered in sand the entire day, but that didn't seem to bother her. She built sand castles, collected shells and even went to the boardwalk with her cousins in the evening. When asked what she did on Saturday her answer is: "I wen da BEACH." And when asked what she did at the beach she replies: "in da wader"

GOAL!!!!!!!

Gaby, Mommy and Daddy went to see DC United on Saturday for Gaby's first professional soccer game. We got decked out in our Portugal Jerseys even though there were no Portuguese players on the field (we'll have to find a way to change that). DC United won...Yay!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Gabriela and Daddy want to wish Mommy a very Happy Birthday today. Maria somehow finds the will to do it all: work full-time from home, watch Gabriela full time, keep Gabriela entertained with the help of Play-doh and bubbles, and still make wonderful dinners every night for the family. We love you dearly and are so blessed to have you in our lives!

Gabriela: The Cake Detective, finds the action!

Pretty bows!

Gabriela's hair is finally long enough for her to need to wear a bow in order to keep her hair out of her eyes. We're still teaching her to keep the bows in her hair, but we thought you'd enjoy seeing a few pictures of her new hair style!
(Thank you to Aunt Marie for the green St. Patrick's Day bows!)
