These pictures were taken when our Au Pair was Carla. She was our Au Pair for two years, 2005 - 2007. She was sad to go home but she will always have a place here in Minnesota and in our hearts. She is back in Braganca, Portugal and is working as a teacher. She still keeps in touch with us by email and Skype. She misses her "vacation" in Minnesota! Carla had fun in Minnesota. She LOVED being part of our crazy loud family.MINNESOTA FAVORITES: Food: Anything Robert grills and Elizabeth's Chili Color: Pink Song: Can't Stop Loving You by Phil Collins Family Tradition:Christmas ... being Santa's elf, shopping at 4:00 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving, wrapping presents, watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music.
