Here Ducky, Ducky!

We have family visiting from Utah, Steve's Mom and Grandma Egan we have taken them to many of the popular sites of the island, Mary Statue, Biscoits swimming area, Porto Martins area, Praia, and last night we went to the Brazillian Rest. in Angra, it was very filling with over 10 types of meats, beautiful view of the Ocean & Monte Brasil. Today we went to the duck lake and fed the ducks it was foggy but it was neat! I don't think we have done so many things in one week in a long time. The boys are enjoying having Gma's here.

In Remembrance...

Mr. Blue Eyes

1st full day

This morning, coming out from the rain
Monday-
Orion went to school all day today 9-12 then 1-3, I took Orion and Quinn to lunch at the playground. Guida said he was really good. He even wanted to give kisses a 2nd time before he left his teacher's today.

Orion is funny!

Orion is very stronged willed, we have noticed this from his toddlerhood. When I work out in the morning and go to switch the TV to my workout DVD's he complains that I'm going to get all sweaty, he says "I don't like you sweaty" then today at the BX we were in line and a woman was saying hello to him and touched his head..he then said "Yuk all sweaty" I guess Orion already know's what he doesn't like. It's so funny to watch him and if he doesn't like something he's not a bit shy to tell ya. Steve and I both agree that he doesn't have a shy bone in his body.
His first offical day of school is tomarrow. We went to the school today and they just had a meeting with all the parents.

Today is our Anniversary!

We got a chance to celebrate today! It was simple and nice. We just went out to lunch our in praia, most things are closed on Monday's but we found a place. We got our bifana's and ate outside on the patio near the Marina. Lucia watched our youngest and Ky was at school. This week starts the big week of the UCI on base so it's going to be a busy week for Steve, which means that he'll not be home much.
Orion starts school tomorrow- He's excited to see Guida and I'm too! We have Steve's Mom and Gma coming this week! It will be nice to see them and they can meet Q for the first time ever!
