Cheese toastie

The Sunday brought more dear visits. Before lunch came again Helder´s cousins, Ana and Nini with their tiny princesses, Ana Luz and Maria Ines. This time they have been able to see Helder and Helder himself enjoyed a lot their company. He become a big friend especially with little Maria Ines, for a long time she sat happily on Helder´s lap and, whenever the smile has left Helder´s face, she kept calling his attention with the sweetest smiles possible until he cheer up again and gave her a smile back :)
After the lunch time we had the return visit of Suzanna, Carlos and Alexandra, who this time brought with them also Suzanna´s brother, Rui Miguel with his wife and little Matilde. We all made a trip to Albandeira and had a short bath in the truly summery sunlight. After that we said goodbye to Helder´s friends and went with all the family to Benagil. We sat on the beach watching Olivia and Daniel playing with water and sand. We soon learned that it was not an innocent trip, Helder had a secret plan in his mind, as soon as we arrived on the beach Helder asked for his favourite snack from our summer-time holidays - cheese toastie :)
Since we returned home, Helder is resting on the sofa, his body is very tired, but he doesn´t want to go to bed. Like yesterday, when his friends have been around, Helder keeps drifting away for a while and then coming back into alertness. Even if he doesn´t have energy to engage with anyone and anything in particular, Helder seems to really enjoy just being where all the family is and being a part of everything what is happening.
