Daniela and Joao focused on their princesse

Today is Orthodox Easter and little Lara enjoys Romanian traditional sweets made by her mum Daniela DODEAN MONTEIRO and happy moments with her parents Daniela and Joao.

 

Week earlier they shared precious moments of being together during the Catholic Easter.

 

“We celebrate more the Catholic because we marries in Catholic church and Lara was also baptized there but i prepared some Romanian traditional sweets also for today…” revealed Daniela.

 

The family is in Portugal in self isolation like most of Europe.

 

“We are doing well except staying in home for such a long time. Our days at home are full off activity every day we find new things to do. Joao and I we are making physical exercises together cooking together cleaning taking care of our skin playing a lot with our daughter…” explained Daniela. “We have a bicycle at home and we do a lot of specific physical training with program from our coach.”

 

Joao MONTEIRO was forced to go under surgery recently and Daniela was also injured.

 

“We are also working our recovery. Joao is coming after knee surgery and I had a serious ankle injury so we are doing online session over the web cam with the physiotherapists.”

 

There is a lot of free time for the family activities.

 

“We have a new machine for cooking and we both love to cook and discover new receipt especially now that we eat more vegetarian food. I stopped reading my books since I have Lara but now I read stories for her. We are playing a lot we ordered many games on Internet and we have a lot of games like monopoly puzzles cards Lego..”

 

There is a lot to catch up.

 

“We give our daughter full time and attention trying to fill the missing time from home in the last period before the pandemic.”
