Busy weekend

So this past weekend we had lots going on!  We had Contra-Mestre Carcara out from Rochester, NY to do a weekend full of workshops.  Needless to say we are very tired today.  :)  We had the privilege of housing him though, which was nice to be able to hang out with him in a non-capo setting.  We also got to have our friends Ashley and Sunil stay with us a night because of the workshops.

I finally watched the Celebration of Life Ceremony for Ezra Matthews.  I was a hit hesitant to watch it, because of the tenderness of the subject, but I did and I am glad for it.  It gave me really nice closure and the service the held was beautiful. They really did honor Ezra's short but very impactful life.  It's very humbling knowing that you can learn so much from a 2 year old who was sick for more than half his life.  One of the points that was made that I liked was how we can look to God and the cross in all this chaos.  How God took the most heinous and embarressing way to die in that day and turned it into the most beautiful and the strongest expression of love today.  How even though this cancer took Ezra at such a young age that we can look at all the love and joy he brought despite of it all.  :)

Tristan is still learning more and more everyday.  He will bring me clothes from my dresser, and when I ask him to put it back and shut the drawer he understands and does it.  :)  He also puts his hands in the air with a confused look on his face when you ask him a question he doesn't... 'I dunno!' hahaha.

For all our capo readers he threw a meia lua de compasso today! Very cute.  He also took both of our phones and put them up to both of his ears and starting jabbering away like he was on a very important phone call.  I love this dude very much.  He is now into pointing at my belly and trying to give it kisses.

Tomorrow will be an exciting day for us!  We have our ultrasound scheduled for the afternoon and hopefully we can see if it's a boy or a girl!  :)
