“Dia dos Pais” – Father’s Day

Feliz dia dos Pais para todos os Pais” !  

“Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s” 

So, oh so accordingly as soon as I started this blog I got really sick, as well as my daughter. After 2 days of going to the hospital and many hours spent calming a crying baby and trying to get rest myself, Im finally starting to feel better.  Hence the fact of not writing any new content in the last week.  Now..moving on to what I was saying …. 

In the US Father’s Day is celebrated in June but not here.  Today, we celebrate Father’s Day!  It’s quite rainy and cloudy here, but it doesn’t stop all the ‘nativos’, from a having a big ‘churrasco’ otherwise known as ‘BBQ’.   It’s a pretty common form of celebration here, to gather together the whole family and eat. (Which eating is not what I need to be doing.  I am trying to work off this extra baby fat that I gained during pregnancy.) With that said, my family will not be having ‘churrasco‘.  Due to the fact that we have a ‘cha de bebe’ to attend (baby shower) and well… I just don’t feel great today, still harboring the lingering affects of my cold.  So, with all good intentions in my  mind, I was gonna wake up and make my husband my favorite Father’s Day breakfast, in honor of his first ‘Dia dos Pais’..  and well.. I failed **looks down**  Bad wife.  Just couldn’t get out of bed this morning.  So to Max, .. ‘Feliz Dia dos Pais’ .  You have been a wonderful father to our daughter.
