June Update 2 of 2

Here are a few more photos from my recent phone download, since we'll be staying close to home until the end of the World Cup!

Kylie has been using the time to catch up on celebrity gossip...

...just like her mama!

We're taking plenty of coconut breaks!

Playing dress up with daddy's shoes!

Homemade bubble solution and wands!

Reading...

Swinging...

...and relaxing!

Rainy day walk!

Sunny day trip to the beach

Happy Birthday to me! Hammock time!

Eric: Who's hammock is this?

Kylie: Kylie's!

F-R-O-S-T-I-N-G ! ! !

Indoor hammock is the best thing ever!

U-S-A!

With the World Cup taking over everything in Brazil, we have been staying close to home for the past few weeks. And, we will continue to do so for the next few weeks until it's all over. While that doesn't make for many great blogging opportunities, it does give one plenty of time to download one's phone, so here are a bunch of pictures from our day to day lives around Recife, here in exotic Brazil!

Just another day at the beach

Kylie and Autumn clowning around during Carnival!

Another day, another "selfie" to text to Autumn

(just so she knows how much fun she's missing out on while she's at work!)

Oh-ho! Dad left the computer unattended...

HAVE IT!

Who DOESN'T need a tiara to go the the grocery store?

I can't tell if they're having fun, or if Kylie is about to push Aya or swipe her toy!?!

Let's go with fun!

Such a good helper in the kitchen!

Cheese!

Baby pool upgrade!

Sunday in Rio

After our disappointing trip up to the Corcovado yesterday, we abandoned our plans to visit the Pão de Açúcar today, and just spent the day wandering around Zona Sul and through the Hippie Fair. It was still great to be out of the equatorial heat and to have some nice fall weather while strolling around town.

Kylie and I at the Hippie Fair

Paintings around the fountain

A much needed gelato break!

Chocolate-rum-orange needs to go into our recipe database!

Another cloudy day on Impanema

Still having fun!

Distinctive Portuguese stonework

Potty...

See you again soon!

Saturday in Rio

In order to maximize time between baby naps on this trip, we pre-planned and pre-purchased everything that we wanted to do including our visits to the big Christ statue and Sugarloaf mountain. Unfortunately, it is fall here, and it RAINED ALL WEEKEND!! Oh well, we made the best of it, and had a very relaxing vacation. Less beaches, swimming and touristing than planned, and much more relaxing, strolling, reading and gaming.

Kylie's "picture face"...

...yeah, we're trying to stop this ASAP!

Rio breakfast clockwise from top:

strawberry, passion fruit and pineapple juices, a cheese pastel and a cafe-zinho!

Autumn never gets her name right on the cup at Starbucks, but mine is accurate 99% of the time in every country! (Sometimes, I get and extra 'k' at the end, but that's understandable!)
