Dreaming of icicles
January 27, 2012
With temperatures rising every day here in Miami (80 degrees every day this week), I long for a longer hibernation period.
Even though it is practically summer out there and Lily is more than ready (and asking) to go to the beach, I just can’t get myself there.
I’m not ready to give up sweaters, tights and boots. (even though i think i will have to)
I’m missing frosted windows, snowflakes, gray days, bare trees, snow, cold and the quiet of winter.
I seriously hope we get a few cold weeks before the heat rises full blast.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Up too early
January 26, 2012
Lily woke up at six fifteen this morning.
One hour earlier than usual.
It was ok.
I couldn’t sleep so I had been up since five.

If I could say some last words
January 25, 2012
My dear uncle who battled with lung cancer this past year passed away yesterday.
If I could say some last words to my uncle they would be I’m sorry. I’m sorry and I love you.
I’m sorry I didn’t keep in touch like I should have and upset him by doing so in the last years of his life.
It wasn’t right but, it’s the way it was.
All he and my aunt ever wanted was a letter every now and again and I didn’t do it.
It’s not that I never missed them, thought about them or didn’t care about them. It’s just that in order for me to go on with my life here in this country so far away from my family it’s how I chose to deal with things. By staying distant.
I have not known my uncle for quite some time but the love I had for him as a young girl remains. It always will.
My uncle was a hard working, smart, witty man. He loved all good things in life. Good wine, good food, good company, good chocolate, good watches. He appreciated the finer things in life.
As a young girl I remember having such admiration for him. He was a collector of many things. I always admired his passion for everything he did.
He wasn’t ready and he fought hard not to but he is gone now.
My heart goes out to my aunt who lost her husband and so many other loved ones to cancer. (fuck you cancer i fucking hate you!)
My heart goes out to my mom and her sisters who lost their only brother.
My heart goes out to my cousins who lost their father.
I wish I could be with my family in Portugal.
I love you tio Antonio Carlos. I love you and I’m sorry.
my cousin Lena, my uncle and I

This little person is getting bigger, smarter, funnier, sweeter, more talkative e-ve-ry day.
I don’t want to miss a thing.
I don’t want to forget a thing.
Happy tuesday!

Feet, a photo challenge
January 24, 2012
Feet are something that I take pictures of quite often.
Bare feet on hard wood floors, feet sleeping, feet in shoes, my favorite however are sandy feet.
Luckily enough, we live by the beach so I get to take lots of those.
Joining Chelsey with this week’s challenge, Feet.

Chromatics and Glass Candy
January 23, 2012
Happy monday everyone!
How was your weekend? It flew by over here.
We ran errands all day saturday and then at night while Will stayed with Lily, I went out with the girls to check out some awesome chicks perform.
Chromatics opened up for Glass Candy. Do you guys know them?
They both rocked it out but, Ida No from Glass Candy was a total mover and shaker channeling Amy Winehouse with her long dark hair and slight beehive.
It was a great show and night.
Yesterday we celebrated K’s birthday and finally had our Miami Christmas.
It was a wonderful day filled with fun and loved ones.
Hope your weekend was a great one too.

Mug shots
January 21, 2012
This past week was filled with mornings and afternoons at the park as well as fun down time at home.
I continued with my FB Good morning Miami mug shot series and that makes me happy.
I haven’t touched any brushes, paints or canvases yet but at least I’m no longer freaking out about it like I was last week.
It was a good week.
Today we will be running errands and tomorrow we will be celebrating K’s birthday as well as having a very late Christmas with our Miami family.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
good morning Miami. saturday. from Lily’s room
