Its getting so close to being done, can't wait to see more.<BR/><BR/>Poor sweet Baruck, he looks rough around the edges still, but I'm glad he's feeling and doing better. I wonder if his peeing has to do with being jealous of your new kitty? Maybe Baruck is marking his territory? I know male cats will often do that when a new cat joins the household-- especially if its another male cat.<BR/><BR/>Lucas looks so happy and confident in these pictures, it is sad to think that all changes when it is time for you to leave the school. I hope this week off won't set him back too far. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe how green everything is there! It all looks so lush. Nothing like here, especially now, when it is dry and brown all winter. Love seeing all that leafy greenery.<BR/><BR/>As always, it is so good to hear updates from you !

How exciting to see that roof go on!! It's all coming together and soon you will all be living inside snug as bugs...<BR/><BR/>Beautiful pictures, it looks like your new camera takes very fine pictures.<BR/><BR/>Keep smiling, hang onto teach other for support, no matter what life throws at you, everything will work out just fine!

It always makes me think of you when I see the commercials! I think with J and I, it's two step forward, one step back for the moment. I still get hurt easily but I think we'll get better. You and I are very lucky to have some great kids. They make everything worth it and so much more tolerable day to day.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324266284464976470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-71736031576128448252009-02-20T14:16:00.000-03:002009-02-20T14:16:00.000-03:00I can't believe how good the house is looking....I can't believe how good the house is looking. I never thought that you would have those tiles, we call them "tejas" here, they are so elegant! For some reason I thought you had thatched roofs in Brazil, I think I am a little too ignorant of other places!!! <BR/><BR/>The house is just GREAT, inside with those beams, it is just beautiful. <BR/><BR/>Poor Baruck, I know what you mean about the urination, our kitty that almost died has that problem, his ability to be housetrained went backwards after he was sick, and finally, we enclosed the back porch with lattices and perches and things like that, he has a heated bed, a heated doghouse, a sunning area, a little "mist maker" for summer to cool the area, and so on. He also has the garage to live in, he has to LIVE out there now, he can visit in the house but only when I watch him or he will pee. At night I lock him on the back patio. Cat pee will ruin things, it is very nasty!!! Little Zen is so cute, don't tell Baruck...<BR/><BR/>Lucas is so adorable! All the changes are so hard for a child, yet he is trying hard & I am sure his natural intelligence and your love and support will let him become comfortable in his new school and life. In fact, I can't think of a better setting for him that the one you have chosen, close to nature. <BR/><BR/>Ha ha, it may be good for Lucas to be close to Grandma and Grandpa, but for YOU and Rodrigo...hang in there, soon you will have your house and can have some privacy and not to be mean, but to put some definite BOUNDARIES between you and his parents!!! Because even the nicest relatives can be "too much of a good thing." !!!Olde Dame Penniwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871888334179316997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-31827689012308746322009-02-20T02:33:00.000-03:002009-02-20T02:33:00.000-03:00I love all the photos.

Tell Lucas that I know he feels very sad when he is at school and you are not there, but to please not be afraid, that everyone who reads your blog is thinking of him and he is safe and loved and we are all very excited that he is learning things for mommy to share with us when he gets home each day.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840399136320094652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-62415824970119991792009-02-19T22:06:00.000-03:002009-02-19T22:06:00.000-03:00I love watching your new home being built.

He must be a strong cat, and he's had great care, otherwise he'd never have survived.<BR/>I'm sure you can't wait to be able to move into your new home - it's all so exciting!<BR/>Hugs and blessings love!Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-40536359538742374562009-02-19T16:00:00.000-03:002009-02-19T16:00:00.000-03:00Oh Nydia!
