We lit the candle again after Sophie went to bed 

because she kept trying to grab it with her hands. 

Nos ascendamos a vela de novo depois Sophie dormiu por que 

ela ficou tentando pegar com as moes.

Wilmington/Kure beach #6

Kure Beach house row. The wires criss-crossing the street reminds 

me a lot of Brazil and how their power lines are. 

Casas no Kure Beach. Os fios cruzando a rua me-lembra de Brasil e como sao os fios la.

Day with Daddy!

Sophie couldn't keep her eyes off the TV, so we gave her a pillow and she laid back.

Sophie nao consegiu tirar os olhos dela da TV, entao deitamos ela num travaseiro.

Sophie started to get fussy so we gave her a bottle of formula and she fell asleep in Daddy's arms before she finished the bottle.

Sophie comecou ficar chatinha entao demos ela uma mamadeira de formula e ela dormiu nos bracos do Papai antes de terminar a mamadeira.

Sophie and the Juice box

Sophie got impatient that Mommy wasn't giving her enough juice, so she took action!

Sophie ficou sem paciencia com Mamae e tomou acao!

Yes, that is a McDonald's juice she's holding (Oh the shame!) But when you're nearly bankrupt it's the cheapest place to eat, love that dollar menu.

Sim, aquele caixa e' do McDonald's (Que Vergonhia!) Mas, quando voce esta quase sem dinheiro, e' o lugar mais barrato para comer, Amo aquele menu de um dolar!
