Best Investment EVER.

Happy Saturday, all!  Look at that- I'm blogging on a Saturday.  This is rare.  We're at my parents' house, which means Mama is busy playing with Bug so I have roughly half an hour to get all this information out to you before I need to actually tend to my own baby.  So get ready for lots of pictures.

Bug spent half this week sick, which meant I stayed home from work for three days until she got better.  I guess the rule of thumb, according to the doctor, is that you keep a sick baby home one day after they're feeling better.  So if she feels good on day two, she stays home on day three and then goes to day care again. That way, you can pretty much bet on it that she won't be spreading her germs.  I wanted to avoid sending her back to infect everyone else because a new version of the cold will just come right back at her in a couple weeks.  The doctor was right- you can expect your kid to get sick once every other month when they're in day care.  She's building her immune system, though...right?  ::sigh::  In the meantime, so are we!

Happiest sick girl in the world!  You swear she's just fooling us to skip school!
Don't be fooled.  This nap only lasted five minutes.
 After nap time with Mommy.
 Even Mommy was exhausted and falling asleep so we took a quick trip to Starbucks (of course!).
 Almost two days of no bath due to a temperature and finally all refreshed!
And you know the extra day the doctor said to keep her at home after she was already better?  Here it is.

 We took a trip to the park and look how happy she looks!  Ha! 
I wish I took a video because the entire time the swing was going, she looked like this.
 First time in the grocery cart.
 THIS is why we use covers.  So gross.
 LOVES to play Peek-a-Boo in the grocery cart.  So in the middle of the aisle, I bent down and hid and she peeked her cute little head over to find me.  I did get a couple questioning looks from people shopping, but this face is worth the embarrassment.
 Obviously going REALLY fast.
 Sometimes you need a hat when you jump.
 Guess who's finally sitting?  Still a bit rocky, but doin' it.
 She can finally catch her butterflies on the wall...kind of.
 Like I said...rocky.
 Look at those sexy legs!
 Rocky.
 And THIS is how you play off a fall.
 The jumper is still doin' it's job.  Thank goodness!  This week, I managed to cook four full dinners!
 BEST INVESTMENT EVER.
Have a great weekend, 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...
