tomorrow and the next day and then the other one too...

This week is a big one for the Mirs. Willik comes back from Florida tomorrow.
Then he starts Kindergarten on tuesday. That's gonna be a BIG change.

Then wednesday, Phoenix starts at Rainbow preschool. He went there for about 2 weeks, in the summer, since Willik had broken his wrist, but that was just the "lite" summer version. Now it will be everyday, all day, and he will be adjusting to being away from me on a daily basis, and showing his success with the potty training.

Then from thursday on, I will be starting a new phase of my life, where I'll become mom-chauffer in the morning and afternoon rush hour, and in between, I will become an artist again! More on that later...

Remember Me?


church

graffiti to the streets, or to Fabio

For the past 3 months, Fabio has been working the day shift schedule. That part has been wonderful, cause we've been seeing more of him, and we get to have dinner as a fmaily, and the boys get to play with him, and in general, the schedule more or less coincides with the rest of the world. But, his schedule meant he's had to work on sundays, and so he's been missing church this while time. It's been a bummer, and although he tried to work around it, and take a few hours off, or make a switch with someone else, it hasn't worked out, so basically nobody at church has seen him in 10+ weeks. Couple all that with the fact that he's going to school online full-time, so that means we haven't been helping at Graffiti on a weekly basis, and Fabio is generally pretty tired. There's really no time for anything else.

Well, a couple weeks ago, Kevin, a great friend from church, came up with the idea of "bringing Graffiti to Fabio" since he can't come to Graffiti. I loved the idea, but due to the fact that we're moving our whole apartment around, it's not exactly ready for company. So, we discussed going out to eat instead, and planned a meeting for yesterday evening. Kevin called several people, and I called some too, and I kept it a surprise from Fabio.

Usually when I've tried to surprise him in the past, he figures everything out! It's that prfetic heart of his. So all I'd said was that we had something going on for tueday night. Well, as it turns out, even up until people were cheering at his appearance at the door of Graffiti, he still didn't really realize it was a "celebrate Fabio" day! He was totally surprised and had a great time. He'd kept thinking that we were going to have a date, and I was somehow going to drop Phoenix off somewhere, so no clue at all.

We had a wonderful time eating Indian food. We had a great group of Graffiti represented. Taylor, Kevin, Jill, Chessmonster, Austin, Brit, Melissa, Lisa and Greg and Phoenix and I. People from all sides and all walks of live, who love Fabio. It was really fun! They're even talking of doing this annually.

Thanks to everybody who came that night. And especially thanks to you, Glaucia. That was very special. I am still dumbfounded. It just seems too overwhelming to think that a bunch of people miss me. I had a great time.

I'm so glad I was able to pull off the surprise. I's so glad you had a great time. I know you needed it!

Willik is in Florida

Willik left for Florida sunday night.
He'll be away for 10 days.
My parents and sister took him, as a present for his 5th birthday.
They'll go to all the parks in Orlando, and also a brazilian churches conference over the holiday weekend.
When Phoenix was saying his final goodbye to Willik, and realizing that he really wasn't going along, he got very sad, his bottom lip came out, and his voice quivered, as he said "But I want to go too!"
We managed to divert his attention and he's doing fine, though when waking up the next morning, he called for Willik, first thing.

They called us last night to let us know how they are doing. I think Willik talked to me for about 20+ minutes, telling me about all the rides and things he could remember. I don't think he's ever talked that long on the phone before. I guess that's what the world of Disney does to ya.
Yesterday was Epcot, today will be Magic Kingdom.

Unfortunately for him, the day after he returns will be his first day of Kindergarten, so he won't have any time to readjust, share stories, or rest. Life is tough sometimes!!!
