Gearing up for our Thanksgiving Day, the boys stop at a neighbor's home to converse with a new friend.

Yago gets intimate! Kiss me, you fool!

Embarrassed by his brother, Luiz runs home and tries to beat the car!

Another Sunday afternoon in America....

Friends: Aunt Connie & Joao

Sunny and 64 degrees F in Rumford, Maine... an amazing November day.

Connie's heading out to go four-wheelin' in Ben's truck!

"Rich... I will be an American college soccer player! I am fit, I train hard, and I eat all the right food!"

Hair Cutting Day!

The weather this week has been fabulous, so we decided that Luiz's monthly hair cut would take place on the back deck of the house. The temperature is about 60 degree F (15 C) and gorgeous. Today is a holiday known as Veterans' Day celebrating those who have served in the American military.
