It's been a little while since my last post. Busy with Holiday planning and work. Now Mommy has 2 weeks off and is looking forward to spending time with family, friends and especially Sean and Daddy.
Sean went to get his first photo taken with Santa at the Westgate Mall Saturday morning. Sean didn't seem very interested in Santa or taking a photo with him.
When it was Sean's turn to sit on Santa's lap, Sean wanted nothing to do with Santa! He cried out for "Mommy...Mommy...Mommy."
It was still fun for Mommy and Daddy. We are glad we got Sean's first photo with Santa....
As Sean was pulling away from Santa....Santa said...."He's strong". We are so proud of our boy and his strength!

Preparing for Christmas 2013
It's Sunday night. Wow! how this weekend flew by! We had a wonderful weekend with Sean.
On Friday evening, we meet Grandma Harriet and Grandpa Richard in Los Gatos for Lutefisk dinner. It was a lot of fun and the dinner was delicious! Lutefisk, cole slaw, potatoes and meat balls. Yummy!
Sean was excited to see Cousin Stephanie, Uncle Stan and Aunt Linda!
Saturday, we went to Family Art Day at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara. We enjoyed the art and the short display of the upcoming Nutcracker Ballet that will be held next weekend at the Convention center.
That afternoon, we bought our Christmas tree! Sean has been very excited about all the Christmas lights this season. We are introducing him to Christmas time and he loves it!
In the evening, we did a little Christmas shopping at the Oakridge Mall. Fun for all of us to get out and to the mall. Surprisingly, we didn't have to wait in any long lines.
Sunday - we make a trip to the grocery store together. We hung out at home most of the day (very nice to be home). In the evening we decorated our Christmas tree.
Very nice weekend....went by much too fast as usual...

Thanksgiving Holiday 2013
We enjoyed our time home last week with Sean. Sean went on a few different adventures during the Thanksgiving Holiday.
On Wednesday (day before Thanksgiving), Mommy took the day off of work and took Sean to the Children's Discovery Museum. Sean enjoyed himself. He loves walking/running around and discovering new things.
Sean is very social and says "Hi" to children and adults. Mommy and Sean had lunch at the Museum and then headed home for an afternoon nap.
On Thanksgiving morning, Mommy, Daddy and Sean took a walk at the Carmelite Monastery in Santa Clara. It is a beautiful place to visit. We took it easy the rest of the morning. In the late afternoon, we headed to Avô and Avo's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Mae, Pai, Tia Maria, Paixao, Tia Valeria, Tio Steve, Derek and Bryce were all there. Sean enjoyed dinner and spending time with family.
Later that evening, we went to Uncle Stan's for dessert. Sean enjoyed pumpkin pie with Grandma Harriet, Grandpa Richard, Uncle Stan, Aunt Linda and Stephanie. Yummy! Sean loves playing with Casey (Uncle Stan's doggy).
On Friday morning, we took Sean to Barnes and Noble for story time. This time it was in Spanish! The lady who read was a great reader and very entertaining. The rest of the weekend, we relaxed and did some Christmas Shopping at the Gilroy Outlets.
What a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! We enjoyed having the time away from work to spend time relaxing and enjoying the holiday as a family.

Sean goes to Santa Cruz for Turkey Trot Race
Sean, Daddy and Mommy headed to Santa Cruz early this morning. Mommy registered to run in her first race since her last in April 2010 (before the birth of Sean).
8AM start time. Race distance 5K (3.2 miles).
Mommy was back after 29 minutes. It was a beautiful race. Sean hung out with Daddy waiting for Mommy to cross the finish.
After the race, we took a walk to Natural Bridges State Beach to see the Monarch Butterflies. We took a brief walk down to the beach. After our walk, we drove to Companion Bake Shop for coffee, cinnamon roll and pumpkin cake! Excellent coffee and delicious cinnamon roll and pumpkin cake!
We headed back over the hill. It was a cold, but beautiful sunny Fall morning.

Sean's Weekend Adventures
It's Sunday afternoon and it's been a great weekend for all of us (Mommy, Daddy & Sean).
Saturday morning started off with a trip to our local library. We found some interesting books on the Monarch Butteryfly & Lady Bugs and decided to check them out. Learning along with Sean has been so much fun! Mommy is learning a lot of what she forgot from her childhood studies. What fun!...to discover the world through a child's eyes.
We stayed for Family Story time. We sang songs, listened to a couple of stories and watched a movie all within 30 minutes. We learned that Sean loves the song, "itsy bitsy spider".
Saturday evening, we joined family in celebration of 3 birthday's! Sean's cousin Derek turned 15! Sean's Tia Valeria's father-in-law and sister-in-law also celebrated birthdays. We were invited to Pedro's Mexican Restaurant. The service and food were awesome! Sean especially likes their corn tamale, rice and black beans. Yummy!
Today, Sunday....we took Sean to The Children's Discovery Museum! What fun! Sean is a little older than he was the last time and today we could see that Sean really enjoyed himself. We ate lunch while we were there. Their food was good and surprisingly reasonable in price. Sean is a good eater, he ate a variety of food, but his favorite was the corn dog.
