Surprise!

I never uploaded this video of how Wyatt and I announced to my family that we were pregnant.  We went to lunch with them before leaving for Christmas vacation with Wyatt's family and during the prayer, I mentioned, "...and please pray for this baby that we are going to bring into the world this coming year..."

Neither of my parents heard it.  Since my sister knew ahead of time, she picked up the video and proceeded to ask my parents, "Did you hear what she said?"  My mom responded with, "Yeah, she's praying for her [future] baby."

I added, "No, I'm praying for the baby we're going to have next year." 

...AAAAANNNNDDD....TEARS (from  Mama).  Now that's more of the reaction we expected!

(*Please notice that Papa was so hungry he was eating in the background and still had yet to process the announcement.)

(*Please disregard my chubby first trimester face.)

SURPRISE!


When we arrived in Arizona to see Wyatt's mom, I was so excited to give her a "Grandma" gift that I completely forgot the video and was unable to video it.  I wish I had, though.  It was a precious moment because she thought we gave her the Grandma gift so she could make it for Addison, Wyatt's niece.  I quickly mentioned, "...for OUR baby."  She looked up...

...AAAAAANNNDDD....TEARS (and tiny scream) from Mom. :)  Gosh, I wish I would have remembered that video!

What memorable moments!  I need to get better at uploading videos.  Thank you for reliving those moments with me!

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
