And flowers... I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High" (Psalm 7:17)

Our sweet 15

Today we celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary... We feel gratitude for the blessings in our lives...

La fiesta

Even though Cinco de mayo is not celebrated here, I have friends who have just moved to Mexico and I am thinking of them today... Both their kids attended the same preschool as mine, and the little girl was in same class as my four year-old son until a few days ago, when they left... just before the swine flu outbreak. These pictures were taken at the International Festival last year and there

Yay! Earth Day is also my birthday!

Good times... fun memories... good friends... true blessings... a beautiful family... Today I celebrate the big 40... I thank the Lord for all the days planned for me written in his book...

Happy Easter!

More than a wish, it is a prayer that His message of hope, joy and love may be the reason for our Easter celebration!

Olympic baloons to celebrate 08/08/08!!!

Have fun watching the Olympic games! Celebrate the date 08/08/08!!!

Brazil and Japan - 100-year friendship

A friendship that started 100 years ago when the first Japanese immigrants arrived in the port of Santos aboard the steamship Kasato Maru on June 18, 1908. Japanese Crown Prince Naruhito is visiting the country to take part in the celebrations. An anniversary that certainly has a significant role in our country today.

I became a mom ten years ago and my oldest son was only a week old... time flies... Yes, he turned 10 this week... The other day we were shopping for Winter clothes and he wanted to try on the clothes alone in the dressing room. I told him I'd be waiting at the cashier... lost count of how many times I turned around to check if he was coming...You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
