Social Butter-Bug

Bug has been socializing with all kinds of groups lately.  She's just a little social butter-Bug!  Last week, Aunt DeeDee was in the area and finally got to meet Bug for the very first time.  (Good timing, Aunt DeeDee.  You caught her in the A.M...otherwise known as her most awesome time of day!)  

 


*Bonus Videos:

Last Friday night, Grandma took care of Bug in the evening so that Wyatt and I could have a late anniversary dinner.  Can I just tell you how good it feels to put on a dress, some make-up, and have a glass of wine (or two)?  


Grandma's been A LOT of help the last couple of weeks and we're SO THANKFUL.  (Sorry for all the crying, Grandma!  You're a trooper!)

Grandma bought Bug a Baby Einstein book that Bug now LOVES.  So on Veteran's Day, Grandma and I were on a mission to find another book from the Baby Einstein collection just like it.  Sad times, Barnes and Nobles did not carry the books we were searching for.  We did find other books and some rattles you place on her wrists and feet.  You tell me...is there such a thing as over stimulation?   


This weekend, Bug also had her very first play date with two amazing little ones, Nathan and Zoe.  Nathan and Zoe's parents are a part of our married couples group at the Cathedral.  It's such a blessing to have gotten to know these couples.  I'm so excited to watch these kids grow in faith together.  Their parents have been such a blessing and motivation for Wyatt and myself and have helped strengthen our own faith.  I can only imagine what amazing adults their children will become.

Dads like these only come around once in a lifetime.  We're lucky mommies!

On Sunday we got to spend some quality time with Uncle Scott too!
 


 

Look at those little feet waiting for a table at Cheesecake Factory!
 This is Grandma's last week with us and we're getting sad.  :*(  Next week, Dad will be going head to head with Bug on his paternity leave.  Make sure to stay tuned for those updates!  At Bug's play date the other day, I told the moms that Wyatt was taking leave.  In awe (or shock), they responded with, "He is!??!"  I asked, "Why, is there a problem?"  From what I gather, most men do not take paternity leave.  So now I'm nervous for Wyatt and Bug.  Together, I'm sure they'll face (and overcome) some challenges.  Hey, they've got six weeks with each other.  They have no choice, but to get used to each other.  :P

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...
