"Accident"

This weekend we were supposed to go see my friend in Oxnard, but she got sick. Although we missed out on seeing my friend, we were able to spend some quality time together, just the three of us (with some appearances by my parents and Uncle Scott as well).

On Saturday we took Bug to our old "hood"- Burbank.  Sometimes I miss Burbank.  Don't get me wrong, I love where I live now, but I have so many newlywed memories of Burbank and taking lots of walks there and sometimes I just miss it.  We decided to have lunch at the one place I miss the most in Burbank- Chadaka Thai.  Mmm...just thinking of it makes me salivate.

If you've ever had these curry dumplings and fried calamari with white wine pesto sauce, you'd miss it too.
TRUST ME.
 We did some play time in the mirror too!
 Bug's new "thing" is laying her head on your shoulder.  Oh, how I've waited forever for this day when she doesn't push me away. I'm sure she'll push me away again, but for now, she's leaning on me all the time.  I heart these moments.  I really do.
 Remember the Baby Einstein jumper I posted a picture of in the last blog?  Well, we got it on Saturday and it is A-MA-ZING!  After lunch, we bought it and could not wait to put it together so we could stick our hyper little Bug in it.  Dad got it out of the car and began assembling it and I ran off to the market while Bug watched Dad assemble her new toy.  Before I left, I did mention to my own little Einstein/hubby that although he is an engineer, for the baby's safety, he should probably read the directions first.  I trust the hubs can design a bridge, but baby toys are ridiculous and have an insane amount of pieces!

Check out the final product!
 SUCCESS!  (Yeah, she's only got a diaper on.  It was hot on Sunday!)

The next day, Uncle Scott came over and Bug showed him all the bells and whistles on her new toy.
That's right, folks.  It's the thumb in her mouth.  This is becoming habitual.
This girl LOVES Uncle Scott. We spent the entire day with him and she was ALL giggles. Then he left and we had our fussy Bug back.  He sure tired her out because she passed out at 6pm and I didn't see her again until 5:30am.  Come back, Uncle Scott!  Can you come over every day?

By the way...while at lunch with Uncle Scott, Bug had her first ever "accident".  She did a big #2, out of her pants and the only back-up outfit in my diaper bag was too small.  Parental FAIL.  So sad because just a week ago, that same outfit did fit.  ::sigh::  Note to self:  check emergency outfits every week from now on!

That's all for now, folks.

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...
