Portugal


Yes, holiday time with mamã and papá. On the Monday we drove with vovô and Teresa to sign the final payment for our new house in óbidos and to get the key - yeepeeee. The hard work began....after taking Teresa to Lisbon (thanks again for all the help) we went immediately shopping - major shopping in Ikea and shopping for food and odd things in Lisbon. It was a very late first night and I slept like a log. Up again the next day and more shopping in Caldas da Rainha and work in the house. The next day some more shopping back in Lisbon and dropped off vovô and then we went searching for the Kare warehouse. We found it down a street of converted warehouses - cool shops and spent ages in two shops after a yummy cake and drink :-) I loved our rented van - I was so proud of it, I rode with papá every time. Then back to our house and a day at the house with a number of works including meeting the architects for attic and kitchen. Then we went back to Porto and stayed a few days to see our family, enjoying the weather, cinema and shops and walks along Quinta da Mar. Renata's christening was on the Saturday. She is so cute and looked lovely in her dress. I was very good in the church for the service and afterwards was allowed to play freely with Rodrigo and their cousin also called Tiago as well as my bigger 'cousins'. Tio let us play on his iPad *very happy with this toy". Mamã and papá were able to relax.

Summer vacation

Yes it's time to enjoy my summer holidays yeepeeeeee.
We started with our friends at our house for a pool party - we kids were so excited we created just a few small holes in the pool.



Mama' and Papa' had a night away for work and I had a sleep over at the neighbours whcih I thouroughly enjoyed.




Rodrigo and vovó came to visit and then took me back to Porto. We were so lucky with the weather in Brussels - we went in our pool everyday. We went to Walibi and enjoyed all the kiddie rides. We went to see the dinosaur display at the Expo - do you like my dinosaur impression? After this we also walked around Mini-europe. I start to recognise the places now and learn the flags, sizes. It is still fun through to stop and get an ice cream :-) There was the jazz music fesital near by and an area for kids activities where I enjoyed making massive bubbles.
