Let's be adults...

This weekend, the hubs and I left Bug with my parents and took off to do some adult things...like running errands and attending Wyatt's 80's themed Christmas party for work.  Because Bug has taken up...oooohhh...ALL our time, it's been really hard to find time to run any errands and by the time you do find a moment, we're so exhausted we just want to sleep.  The night before Wyatt's Christmas party, we decided that we should finally try to pick out some 80's-type clothing for this themed party.  Who knew we could piece together an outfit without buying a single thing!  Really, the 80's was an awful time for fashion...let's be honest.  If I can still reach in my closet and grab this and that and something else and still be able to come up with something semi-80's, the 80's has got some issues.  Check us out, being all adult!  (Thanks to Papa for capturing this "dressed up" moment, which seem to be so few these days.)






While we were out partying for the night, Bug was at Mama and Papa's house, doing what she does best- socializing...

Boy she looks mad.  This look is now her usual look.




Wow, she looks pretty Asian here.  How does this child look so different in EVERY photo?

Here's our own little Chatty Kathy talking to Mama.  There aren't enough words to describe how my heart melts when she smiles and talks!

On Sunday we even got to meet up with Lola Jing and Lolo Glenn...

It was one busy weekend!  Now, we get one week to rest (if there is even time to rest with Bug around) before we make the drive to Yreka for Christmas.  

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...
