So much going on....

So this week should be a little hectic...

First and MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Happy 11th Birthday to my son! I can not believe it has been 11 years since we first laid eyes upon our beautiful child. He is smart, funny and so beautiful!

I hope that he is happy in his life and for his future I wish the best of luck and joy.

I bring his presents back with me from my whole family when I come in the sumer, so he got a great surprise this morning with all of these!

He and the rest of the family went bowling and for sushi yesterday with his best friend. They had a great time, and I am sorry I missed it. I got the bug that the kids had last week, but I am feeling much better today.

The Steelers won last night! 38-28, though they worried me a little AGAIN in the 4th quarter. We pulled through it as the Champions we are, and fought hard until the very end.

I am getting ready for a long vacation this weekend coming. We leave on Saturday for about 9 days. The kids have one of their endless school/Brasilian vacations (no idea how they fit 180 days into the school year!) so we thought we would take advantage of the time off to finally see Natal and Fernando de Noronha.

So if you don't see me for awhile, just know that I will be back with hopefully some amazing pictures so I can share the adventure with you!
