Here on the eve of my birth, I have felt the most homesick since day one in Brasil. Its not that I'm not having a fantastic time, and that I don't love every one of these new friends - but its not the same as having people who have known you either your whole life or practically that around you! It is difficult and makes me feel lonley and want to be home and be getting big fat hugs from everyone! But, I guess that is just another part of growing up right?

But I still miss my mommy and daddy.

p.s watch out for a change in some of the pictures - see if you can tell before I do!
