The year 2004 started really good, and it has been very eventful. We said goodbye to Alexandre and Rachel and left for Banff and later Mexico . On January 30th Adriana became an American Citizen , and we celebrated on Super Bowl with family and friends . We went to the Oscars, Adriana wearing jewelry by Antonio Bernardo . Adriana went to Prague with Sue, Bob & Dolly . She had a great time, thanks Bob & Dolly! We had a party to "open" the Summer on Memorial Day , and Tatiana finished with High School . She gave a speech at the graduation ceremony, I don't know if everyone will be able to hear and see. We had a 4th of July party, and towards the end of the Summer a Feijoada - to say goodbye to Tatiana, who left for New York on the last week of August. In September we went to Alaska to the Celebrity Sports Invitational benefiting the Dream Foundation. It was great, and we came back with one more guitar for Steve - and a beautiful ring for Adriana. And we came back to leave for France the following weekend! We went to Paris and Beaunne, found the best Bed & Breakfast ever, and had the best food in the world. We spent Thanksgiving in Banff one more time, without Tatiana but with Woody. When we came back, Nick had to prepare a Thanksgiving meal to earn extra credit in his Foods class. He did a great job. Christmas came around, and Tatiana was home, but we forgot to take pictures on Christmas Eve! We still had a good time.
