On August 15th, Michael’s parents landed in São Paulo to meet their first grandchild! We had an amazing time sharing Culhane with Nana and Papa and are so thankful for all of their love and help during their visit. In true Harper style, we packed a lot in, so consider this Part 1 of their trip — Part 2 coming next!

Upon their arrival in São Paulo, Sharon & Ollie came directly to meet Culhane. Here they are holding him for the first time!

Amazing all-day lunch party at Bar des Arts!  Culhane & caipirinhas — what else could you want?!

Strolling!

Visiting our weekend street-market.

Heading out for pizza with friends! 

Sushi at Nagayama followed by live bossa nova at the Fasano.Lunch at Museu da Casa Brasileira.

Nana and Papa also made us lots of delicious dinners (both at our apartment and at Joe’s), and those family dinners at home were some of our favorite times together.

Culhane loved spending time with his Nana & Papa, and Michael and I loved all of the help! On top of cooking us dinners, doing our grocery shopping, bringing me lunch and taking us to to fun places, Sharon & Ollie were also all-star babysitters, allowing Michael and me to go out together and letting me get a few extra naps in! Their visit was so incredible – Culhane is missing you both already!
