Halloween 2009

Gaby loves to dress up as you can see by her multiple Halloween costumes. Luckily she had a couple of different events to wear them to.

New House pictures!

I know these are long-awaited, but as you can imagine, we've been busy! We are hosting Thanksgiving for both sides of our immediate family, so getting the house ready for that has been our focus. Many of these pics are pre-paint and pre-furniture, but hopefully we'll add more once we get our Thanksgiving photos up! Enjoy!

(that's our awesome, warm, pumpkin colored kitchen in the background)

We love our 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, 2 car garage, new townhouse! I think you can see from this last photo and the photo of all of her toys that Gaby loves it too!

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.

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!
