The Boys

The boys continue to learn and explore their new environment. Here are a few pictures of things they have been up to!

Alden had a dia de fantasia in which they were able to wear costumes to school and did not have to wear the school uniform. He chose to dress up as a crocodile!

This palm frond fell in the back yard. The boys were using it in some of their imaginative play because they were amazed at how large it was!

Someone needs a hair cut! This rat tail needs to go!!

Building a fort and inviting daddy in!

Alden's vocabulary and animation has blossomed in the past few weeks. This is him explaining that something new popped up on Zane's Minecraft...Can YOU BELIEVE IT???? haha

At the bookstore finding books for the boy's classroom library (yes parents provide them). They sat down and watch a movie in Portuguese. 

And some more fishing and a different lake. 

Some tree climbing

Looking and waiting for daddy.  Living as a one vehicle family has been challenging, but has given me a lot of driving practice. 2nd car coming soon - a much longer process than in the U.S.

Both boys have had some reactions to the changing weather. We are heading into Spring here. The pollen counts are up and are a lot different than back home. The weather has also dipped down into the chilly category. Zane has had a couple issues with his Vertigo and being stuffy. Alden has been fighting a cold for about 2 weeks (always lasts longer in him), but has been hanging in there! Both boys have had to access their medicine at school and have had a lot of support and acceptance from teachers and staff. 

The boys can sit here and talk and play all day! 

And, trying their first Kinderegg. For those that don't know, they are hollow chocolate eggs with a toy inside. We could not pass up on the Star Wars version!!
