SFA Directors

On Sunday after convention we went to Chowchilla for the festa das Contas. We are now directors of the SFA hall, all thanks to my friend Debbie! Here are a few pictures of Liliana dancing with my Goddaughter Ashley. They are too cute!

Performance

Here are a few pictures of Luso Performance. Marco was in the balcony and I was backstage, so neither of us got very good pictures.

Luso Convention Morning

Liliana was able to perform this year with Tracy Luso Youth Group. She had such a good time at dance practice and even at convention. Here are a few pictures of Luso Convention morning, before the performances.

Santa Cruz

The weekend of Luso Convention we decided to head to the beach first. Liliana loves the water! We had such a good time. Here are a few pictures:

Oakland Zoo

The weekend after Madrinha left Mommy, Daddy and Liliana headed to the Oakland zoo. We had fun watching the animals, but mom enjoyed the SF zoo better! Here are a few pictures of our zoo experience:

Even more water fun

Liliana loves the water, so we let her play in the pool in the backyard for a while, she had a good time!
