Spring brings big decisions....

Spring has arrived, and with it some very pleasant weather! This weekend we had our first pool action at the sailing club, Jangadeiros. Kids were in heaven! The other thing I adores about this weather is the kids clothing that comes with it: it is so cute to see Kaio in tank tops and Josefine in mini-skirts or both kids just in underwear!
We also made a big decision at the end of September and are finally putting it in action. From which the most recent was to buy our one-way plane tickets to Denver! Yes, we are moving back to the US!
After our first year in Brazil we had decided that we would like to raise the kids and "grow old" in the US. Brazil is a great country and we have had a lot of opportunities and fun while here, but we believe that the US is safer, more developed and will bring our family more and better opportunities in life. I also have been very eager to move sooner rather than later. Kaio is 5 now and I think it is a great period to move to the US for him to start first grade there.
We have started sharing our big news with family and friends. Of course it brings very mixed feelings as people here in Brazil were not expecting us to leave and our family in the US is very excited to have us closer.
We shared the news with the kids first and they have been great in keeping it a secret until now! They are also very excited about the move (especially as their last experience in the US was Disney!) although Josefine does not really comprehend what "moving" is. She just is excited to go on a plane again and touch Vinny! (As she always sees him through Skype)
The next couple of months will be busy....
