.:P52 - Week 25:.

Week 25 - Fathers

here in italy fathers' day is in april, in brazil it's in august, but every occasion is good to praise the men of my life...

Fathers are talked about so little, in our family my mother used to be our anchor, the glue that pulled us all together... when she passed away we had a really hard time first accepting and then having to imagine a life without her... my father got it worst of all, we all loved her, but she was his life... from then the man who's taught us a whole lot of stuff started learning some new ones by himself... he learned how loving and caring he can be, he learned to depend a little more on the people who love him and most important of all, he's learned that it's necessary to tell people how you feel about then every single time you have the opportunity...

most people have a way of believing their parents to be flawless, well, I don't... my father is stubborn, proud, way too honest for his own sake, and can be too harsh sometimes... he's self-relying; everything you can do for him he can do it by himself, and better... ;) Funny how growing up I used to point out with my little fingers each and every one of his flaws and now as a grown up I found myself being thankful for him having taught me this things by example... I dare say I got a lot from him... and wouldn't change a thing of the way he is...


the other man in my life sure is mr. right (married to mrs. ALWAYS right... ha!), who's getting the hang of this parenting thing the same way as I am working my way around it... For him being a father is loving deeply our sweet little pea, and teaching her the important things in life: like how to operate electronic games on your phone...


next year if I remember I'll post an update on how he's doing with the father stuff... to this moment he's managed to teach our kid how to pretend coughing, spit and throw things, and she's not even 5 months yet... what can I say, my dear husband is an overachiever...

linking the second photo to the P52 project... as much as I love the first photo it: A. wasn't taken by me, and B. is NOT from this past week...

.:fun little dress:.

last week our baby girl grew into a present sent our way across the ocean... this mamma here plaited some ribbon to make her look more like a little girl now that she fakes coughing and spits a long way...
anyways, I had to capture the moment: her first time in this big girl dress... can't believe she's already this big, wish I could freeze time...

.:P52 - week 24:.

week 24 - sunlight

first time in maaany weeks that I'm punctual with the post... so, the photos were taken today on sweet little pea's first wedding... she's been a real party animal, laughed, sang, played, slept, looked at the other children having a great time... we were so fortunate...

ok, now let's cut to the cheese... this is the photo going on the blog for the link, it was taken on our way back home at about 8 pm today...


this is the photo that has taken my heart with and still on theme... bubbles!!! huge ones! made by children! and the best of all? my little baby girl loved them, she could see them and follow those incredible mirrors of sunlight... ^^


go see some beautiful shots on the p52 link post...

.:P52 - Week 23:.

week 23 - water

both this week and the last one have been a pain in the neck, rain everyday, storm every other... the little one gets restless with this weather and the mamma here gets a great opportunity for practicing patience...

on sat we went to an italian city where even the movies are displayed in german, an absurd... not used to that at all, even the dialects seem a strange thing to have in an unified country, but speaking another entirely different language is out of question in my mind...



unfortunately, preparing sweet little pea to face six hours total in the car washed away any thoughts of a camera... the pictures were taken on the way back home with a blackberry... and the young lady behaved properly: laughed, slept, babbled and slept again... a real lady...





we're almost over with the first half of the year, can't even believe it... it's great to peep at the other participants' pics, they're awesome, you should go check...The new banner:

.:P52 - Week 22:.

Week 22 - playtime

This week I apologize for having such a lame shot... the one of me and sweet little pea playing wasn't taken by me so I guess cannot be considered...
to justify a little the absence of a decent shot, let me say I was more worried about surviving the second week of earthquakes before celebrating my b-day... here is not really earthquakes zone, but for a tropical girl not used to natural disasters other than the ones announced long before by mother nature sth you cannot predict and cannot protect yourself from is such a fright that the only real worry applicable is a heart-attack...

this explains also why we're outdoors playing... no buildings have fallen in more than 100km from here, YAY!(but let's not risk it...)


PS.: a huge hug for those in risk areas, let's hope the predictions of another month like this going on are all wrong...
