Reading

I am reading "Beautiful in God's Eyes."

It is not the first time, but this time I am doing it very precisely and reading slowly, so that I can internalize and analyze how to make it for the better for me and my family.  A very interesting way to learn about what God want us to do, as wives, as women, and as mothers.

Cards and other things with paper

My new "thing" is card making.

I am enjoying it a lot. Here are some of the last cards I made. I know I do have to improve my abilities. But, I am working on it.

Desk Redo

An old desk with a facelifting - just some paper and it looks much better now!

Bottle gift

I made it in less than 30 minutes, as a "last minute gift" to a hostess.

Our little girl

She was a sweet little 2-year-old-girl with Down Syndrom. She was slow to learn talking and walking, but very good at communicating what she wanted and to notice the right moment for a funny face. Do not ever think these kids are not smart! We saw by ourselves how smart and sweet and also persistent she was, as long as it was interesting for her. Just like any other kid. Better than anyone, she knew her limits, and we did not know that. 

As many of the kids with Down Syndrom, she had a Heart Disease, which made her vulnerable to other problems, and her fragile health also contributed to make the things more difficult for her. She had then, a pulmonary arterial hypertension, and it was too much for her little body. 

After two years and eight months of fun, stress, laughs and tears, she passed away on July 3rd, 2010. She will always be our little girl and we miss her a lot.
