Our Seminary Trip (Botanical Gardens in the backdrop)

Ronaldo and Tuca and their three boys. Ronaldo and Tuca are from our church and are studying at the seminary in preparation for the ministry.Dani's baby shower that just made it in the nick of time. The baby shower happened on Saturday. Sabrina arrived late the following Wednesday night!

Cauani and Rafaela at the baby shower.

Graduation ceremony. Joice for high school (far left), and Abigail and Ana Claudia from junior high.

Dani's secret pal for Christmas was Donna her co-worker. Dani was able to make it back to Sorocaba from Sao Paulo after giving birth to Sabrina for this special event. But since Sabrina was still tucked away in her own special incubator, we of course raced back that evening.

During most of the Christmas holiday, we stayed in Sao Paulo watching over Sabrina, but almost every weekend, I needed to head back for ministry responsibilities. One of those responsibilities was the Christmas play "Pra morrer, Nasceu Cristo" (Born to die)

Dani was missing the church as she normally stayed in Sao Paulo. She asked me to take some pictures of her Sunday School room. :)
