carnival

The Alcott trio was so blessed last winter to spend some wonderful, warm time with Diana, a family friend from Brazil. Diana originally stayed with Ryan's parents during her senior year of high school as an exchange student, then returned last winter to work for three months.

It's now a year later and I often find myself missing her. Such lovely little adventures we had last year, really just so much fun. Thank goodness for email, Facebook, and Skype. Between the three venues we manage to stay connected.

Last week she sent me a fabulous video of her and some friends performing in Carnival. The festivities were held in the hometown of her boyfriend, an area of Brazil that takes their pre-Lenten celebrations pretty seriously! Excitingly their group won the contest, but even more fun...our Diana was the lead singer!



Diana, thank you for sharing this with us! Know you are missed and loved so very much!

Sua voz era bela, ainda que foi espantados!
