Fresh Pickins!

 We were excited to find an email from Aunt Debora this morning answering all of our questions about living in Brazil!  Thanks Aunt Debora!  We loved hearing that you too, had an angel on top of your tree but it was hard for us to imagine Christmas in summertime.  Zoe thought Santa would be very hot in his beard and suit!  Must investigate more on this...

We made Brazilian flags

...and cleaned up our mess.

We explored all our passports (6 total for the family)

And loved looking at the baby pictures (fond memories of hauling infants through Mexican summer heat to wait at the US consulate came rushing back)

We examined all the stamps in Mommy's passport.  Those were the days...

And then we checked out the new ones ready for our trip around the world.

We got our first stamp!  Zoe colored and cut this one out herself.

Looking at Brazil and rainforest books.  Carnival dresses were examined in depth.

Ready for the farmer's market.  Can't explain the flower but the size is not due to the perpsective of the picture.  Sigh.

Watching lemonade being made

Refreshing!

Hard decisions!  We finally decided on peaches, cherries, and cherry tomatoes.
They were delicious and we ate a bunch for lunch!

So big!

See?  Now that's an old friend!
