Privileges

Happy Monday!  This weekend I had a bridal shower to attend in Orange County.  A few days before, the hubs and I decided it would be a good idea to leave Bug with my parents overnight so that we could have some uninterrupted time together.  To add to it all, the hubs and I both had Friday off (yahoo!) so we got to run errands together...babyLESS.  It's been awhile.  We got so much accomplished!  I forgot what it felt like to get all your errands done in one day, let alone one morning!  

My date for the day.
Since we knew we'd be away for the weekend, we picked up Bug from day care and let her skip half the day so she could hang with her parents (something she'll probably outgrow soon enough, anyway).  
Mama and Bug time at Starbucks.  Did I mention how much this girl loves Starbucks already?  She gets so excited to see that green straw!
Bridal shower for Dr. Amanda! :)
After the bridal shower, the hubs and I went to dinner in Newport Beach and had some adult drinks!
We picked up Bug from my parents' house on Sunday and it was so hot out that we decided to let Ella sit in a "bath" in the backyard.  Get ready for some super cute pics!
 Gettin' ready...
 Testing out the water...
 <3 this cute face!
 New habit.
 Bug is learning lots of things these days...like cause and effect.  For example...if you drop something, someone will pick it up for you.  This mommy, however, will only pick it up two (maybe three) times. After that, you lose your privileges. Find another toy.

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...
