I thought I'd look through some old photos...

... well maybe not so old!

After all it's not been two years since we bought the digital camera! Anyway I've been planning to go through the 2 or 3 GB worth of pics we have on our desktop at home and figure out which ones I might like to have printed out!

Anyway, I came across this one, that I definetly believe to be the cutest ever photo of Sam, and this is not an easy choice!

Not two months old at the time this was taken, he has such an utterly happy and peaceful look on his face. Looking at him (even this day) after I put him to bed is a sure way to get my mind off all the drudgery, all the stress and all the big and little things that bug me during the day. It's so easy to share in his peace!

Just thought I'd share this with everyone, I know it works best for me because I'm his mom, but hey maybe it can put a smile on your face too!

Here's hoping!:happy:

Sam discovers grass! And loves it!

After a snow blizzard nothing like having the Sun warm you up again... and that's what's happened this past weekend.

We just forgot all the housekeeping chores we had planned this Sunday and took Sam to the gardens in Belem (Lisbon).

There he met with grass on a large scale and was able to roll around on it, he loved it so much!

Here are some videos (watch with QuickTime or RealPlayer).

Yesterday it snowed in Lisbon!

Monday, 30. January 2006, 12:54:05

Sam and I were just finnishing breaskfast yesterday when I looked outside and the rain looked much whiter and thicker than usual :eyes:

I couldn't believe my eyes - it was snowing!
Bruno called his mother, my brother called me... our whole family had their noses glued to the windows, everyone was in complete awe!

Sam fell asleep, it was too early :zzz: and he could not understand what the fuss was about!

It hadn't snowed in Lisbon in over 50 years! Normally in only snows in the mountais in Portugal, and not in all of them at that! People all over the country just went snow crazy and faced a freezing (at least for Portuguese standards) -2º centigrade just to go outside and have some snow flakes land on their heads... well, everybody but us.

Snow flakes look at lot nicer from the inside of a warm living room with a lit fire-place! It was just too cold and too early to go outside!

It snowed for some 40 minutes in Lisbon, not enough to cover the ground! But some other places in Portugal were luckier - Évora (one of my favourite towns in the Alentejo) was covered in white - and this is a place where you can expect temperatures over 40º cent. in the summer!

Sunday 29th January 2006 is a day for the history books - it maybe another 50 years before we see snow flakes land on the river Tagus (or not... the way that global warming is going, we might be looking at stranger things to come :insane: )

Here's a pic of how it looked in Évora
