Greetings from Canada, Maria Eduarda!

Leandro (Paty’s brother), Taisa (Paty’s sister in law) and Duda (still inside mama's tummy)

Every week we share with you stories we have been going through. This is the way we found to share our happiness with other people. Live in Canada is simply amazing and we have no reasons to miss Brazil, although we love our home country.

However, when we decided to live abroad we knew that we would miss some events we consider very important, like some of our friends weddings, the sixtieth anniversary of our dads Gabriel and Elson, the holidays with our families… Whatever, it is part of the game rules, eh?

Besides, today, while you are reading this post, the world will have received another little person: Maria Eduarda (Duda), our first niece! She is Leandro (Paty’s big brother) and Taisa’s (Paty’s sister in law) daughter and, unfortunately, we did not watch her healthy and beautiful arrival…

But OK, no depression! Mr Skype will help us and, hopefully, right after today’s classes we will see her through our camera! Besides, her parents are planning Duda’s first international trip. Guess where? Canada, of course!! Patricia and I are trying to make her a Vancouver Canucks fan, so we sent her a cap of the best hockey team (!!) three months ago. The problem is that Canada Post did not deliver the gift we sent... Maybe Canada Post is a Canadiens or Maple Leafs fan… Who knows… But again: no depression. She will be here soon and we will be more than happy to give her the cap with the label: NHL 2010/2011 Champions!!

Back to Duda’s birth, could we use this post to send our message to her? Here we go: welcome to this wonderful world, Duda. We hope you enjoy every single second! Aunt Paty and Uncle Renato love you! See you soon!

  1. Congrats! And I share your situation a little, I have several young nephews that I rarely see because they are many thousands of kilometers away (though still in Canada!).

    Oh and one small side note, the hockey team from Montreal is the Canadiens, not Canadians, they're french and thus use the french spelling. GO HABS GO!
