Milestones

Welcome to our new blog! We thought our 3 year, and 3 month birthdays would be a great time to move into our new digs. We love the new look, and hope you'll visit us often, to see what we "Portu-Giese" Girls are up to!

Scenes from a Birthday Party

Aunt Brooke and Uncle Mark hosted a grand little party for my 3rd Birthday. I invited lots of friends, who couldn't wait to have a splashing good time!

I however, had hesitations about swimming in the waterslide with the "big kids." I preferred the drier activities, like munching on yummies...

Isla
(with great aunt Betty) was veeery interested in all that colorful cake business. Next year, Isla!

The best part of the day was when Daddy arrived - he flew in all the way from Brazil, and surprised me at my party! I was so happy, I cried.

Later, everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to me, but we made blowing out the candles a family effort

I also opened some really fantastic gifts!

A Fizzler of a Fourth

The day started off great... I swam, while Chula chilled

and Isla studied

Then, the sparklers came out. At first they seemed kinda cool - sparkly.

Then, they seemed a bit too fire-ey

It all went downhill (and inside) from there.
