Wayne's Birthday 2010

We celebrated Wayne's b-day in 2010 while visiting the Mitchell's for the first time in their new home in NC. A great visit and a wonderful b-day lunch celebration... memorable restaurant...

Mason's visit and snow

The snow that came down has been lasting forever... Mason came for a playdate... He and Gustavo had lots of fun with the sled at Newtown Park.

Tons of snow in Atlanta

(Just update with a bunch of new photos...)

It is here again, and this time it is a lot... here are some pics. We're all stuck at home, including a neighbor trying to get out with his 4WD ;-)

Mitchell's visit for Thanksgiving'2010

We had a great time with our wonderful friends, now living just 5 hours away from us...
The Mitchell's came for Thanksgiving and it was one of some many joyful moments we have had with them in the past 7 years...

Gustavo's Lego League team moves forward

Gustavo and his team from Fulton Sunshine Academy worked beautifully together in their competition early in December. They have moved forward and will be competing again in the sub-regional level in January.

Here is a video preview of the FSA Lego League Team in all their greatness ;-)

More to come in January...

Callaway Gardens

First movie directed by Bernardo... And he did a great job! See for yourselves...

We visited Callaway Gardens during the Labor Day Weekend. It was wonderful, and certainly a place we will return to. For sure we will be back in the spring to see the azalea's in bloom.

We realized that unfortunately the movie on YouTube (below) came out silent, because the music selected by Bernardo generated copyright issues. So, to see the video with the musical part, you need to go here: http://gallery.me.com/waynemoreira/100335.

Pirenópolis - Day 5

And finally our last day visiting Pirenopolis... Definitely a place not to miss... Locals are super nice and the scenery is incredible!

Pirenópolis - Day 5

And finally our last day in Pirenopolis...

Pirenópolis - Day 4

More of our vacation in Brazil... Day 4 in Pirenopolis.

Vacation: back to Rio - Jardim Botânico - Jul 2010

Back to Rio: some more of our beautiful home town. Here is a visit to the Botanical Gardens, which is also the name for the neighborhood of my childhood. This visit was done during the last weekend of the children's vacation in Brazil. (I was already back home!). They had a chance to play with Arthur and 'Juju', son and daughter of Lulu and Venicio (Bernardo's godparents).

Still vacation... Brasília - Jul 2010

As part of the visit to the Center-west of Brazil, we definitely had to visit the nation's capital, which this years completes 50 years old! Brasilia was a contrast to 4 days spent in Pirenopolis, but a very interesting visit.

More Brazilian Cerrado - Pirenópolis - Day 3

Following the previous post, here is our third day in Pirenopolis..

More vacation... Pirenopolis - Days 1 & 2

As promised, more videos from our wonderful trip to Brazil in July. In this post, first two days of our stay in Pirenopolis, GO. A historical city close to Brasilia, in the middle of the beautiful Brazilian 'Cerrado' (somewhat similar to a savanna). Beautiful water fall and lots of trails.

Vacation 2010 # 2 - Visit to Maracana and Lunch at Lagoa

Here is one more nice video... Visit to the Maracana Stadium and then lunch around the Lagoa. Another beautiful day in Rio.
