This darling family was here visiting Santa Barbara all the way from the east coast. They are originally from Brazil, but their careers with the Salvation Army took them first to Mozambique, Africa, then Massachusetts soon-to-be New York, where they will begin their 2 year formal academic training to become Christian Pastors. How amazing, right? Massachusetts I believe holds a special place in their hearts, since that’s where they arrived a family of 2, and are leaving a family of 3 :-) And if what they say about all Brazilian girls being beautiful is true- little “J” sure does have a good start, doesn’t she??
Please leave this gorgeous international family some BLOG LOVE, every comment you leave, earns them a print credit!
