BRAZIL! and baby stuff... of course!

Eddy's parents meet Benjamin!
We have made it to the southern hemisphere and are savoring the warmth! Brazil seems even more beautiful than when we were last here... the trees are brighter, the air is fresher, the food is- well, the food is always better! It's been about 5 days and we've been to four, yes (4) churrascarias (all you can eat style BBQ restaurants... that happen to be uber-cheap!)... the hope of shedding a few winter pounds has suffocated under pounds of beef... literally.
Diaper change on the flight!
Ben has been fabulous here- he slept through most of the flights, barely made a peep and has been adjusting to the weather, people, places, parties... wonderfully. We couldn't have asked for a more precious son!
The meeting of the cousins, Eddy's brother Danyel with Gabriela
Today was our family baptism, where Benjamin and Gabriela, Eddy's niece, were dedicated and baptized at his home church here in Brazil. It was good time of celebration with family and friends.

Enough talk- the rest is photos to give you a glimpse into the last few weeks/days here... enjoy!

And the poking begins!
