Okay, so this is my first post, so please hang in there. Thanks to my many talented friends who gave me the push I needed, and to Mary for showing me how to get started you rock!!! First I must say Brazil is beautiful if you can get past all the traffic and horn honking....you have got to see it to believe it...I think no rules apply, if you can remember that you'll be set! Anyway, the kids finished out school here, it was different, but at least they spoke English, we found a Christian school that was not to far away, they are glad they will not be there for a full year next year. Travis is really the only one that has picked up Portuguese and is quite good, Lucas speaks Portuguese, German, Russian, and finally English you should hear him at the dinner table what a crack-up, he's always good for a laugh. (he really can't speak all those languages, but he thinks he can, SHH.) Things we have done since we got here...let's see...we went to Carnival, glad we didn't take the kids, but it was great to see, way over the top!! The boys went to their first Brazilian soccer game, we visited the King and Queen's "summer house" we should all be so lucky, and have gone to many, many, way too many Brazilian restaurants!! I will be honest, I am having a hard time adjusting, we call it a love/hate relationship that I have with Brazil...love the people, hate the place. Well okay I don't quite hate it here it is getting better, but I can not wait to leave!! We have it so good in America, the things we take for grated, like toilet paper, let me tell you about that, they don't flush it here, talk about gross....I am going to flush a whole roll when I get back just cause I can!!
We did find out when/where we are going and we are headed to the great state of Texas, Go Long Horns! Marcus will report on the 8th of December so we are now on the down slope, yee-haw, sorry I'm just getting into the spirit of Texas.
Hope you enjoy our pictures of the sites here in Brazil.

Wow the time is flying by.We are headed to MO. Gotta love those rocks in that pix. Tell me you didn't think of me when you first saw them!!! We are in FL for a few weeks inbetween PA and MO. Down in the keys right now with palm trees and clear waters too. Beautiful. Sandy
It must be hard to take it all in, and then be quick enough to cover the boys' eyes at the right time too. Oh Dixie-- what an adventure. Love your blog!!

So a lot of people have asked me where in Texas we are going sorry I didn't put that. We are going to Ft. Hood. I can not wait. The only down side is that Marcus will be going to Iraq in the Spring, but we are all looking forward to being back in America.
Hi Dixie and Marcus!!
Love the Blog site and great update. Jamie Wallace (from flt school)and his family just went to Hood from Leavenworth....I will email you his address. Maybe I can talk Kraig (my beau) into a trip to Rio before you leave!? You will definately have lots of great memories!! ENJOY!
