Week 6





Another full week with a lot of interesting happenings. Last Saturday we got a knock on the door around noon from our neighbors. We knew they were grilling b/c we could smell it. So we were happy to except the invitation to come down for some food and Portuguese. We ended up spending over 5 hours with them and their many guests. That night was the 10th anniversary of the church that we attend so we gathered to have a celebration.

Sunday was filled with futebol, studying, and church.

Our first language test was on Wednesday so the beginning of the week was filled with studying. Except for a break on Tuesday for Emily to get a massage (1 hour for $15!). We both passed with no problem (a true testimony of God's grace).
Oh, and Karis was right in the middle of cutting her first tooth : )

After our test we wanted to eat good food so we went on a search for something besides rice and beef. Thanks to the elaborate decor we easily found an Italian restaurant. Little did we know it would be the most famous Italian place in Brazil and cost $40 a plate. So we opted to share and eat ice cream afterward. It was delicious!

Thursday Karis enjoyed a nap at the park while I caught up on some reading for fun! I also did some baking- banana bread. Friday was the day we were determined to find a new toy for K. We were successful and she loves it (pictures to come).

Oh my goodness, Emily! That second picture, the one of Steven and Karis smiling for the camera... it melts my heart!! I love that little girl :)

How was the tooth-cutting? Elliott's first tooth popped out last week and his second is just below the gums ready to show itself any day now. Sleeping has been the worst and he has been pretty ill during the days as well. I've had to do a lot of baby holding to keep my little man happy. :(
