Typical

We love spending time with our families.  This weekend, after having some family time, just the three of us, we got to spend some quality time with Uncle Scott, Ninang, and Ninong.

Bug waiting with Ma-Ma and Da-Da at Toyota, while the car got serviced.  She was so good on Saturday morning!  They said the car would take two hours, so we decided to leave it and walk around Pasadena.  When we got back to the dealership, it took another hour and a half and the car was already done! The entire time, Bug made some friends at the dealership and hung out in the stroller, talking...LOUDLY.
After the car was done, we went to have lunch with Uncle Scott.  Unfortunately, I have no pics with Uncle Scott.  Parental FAIL.  I charged my camera just for that and nothin'.  Nada.  I apologize. 

After lunch with Uncle Scott, we went to keep Ninang and Ninong company.  Although Bug caught a fever that night, she was still in a semi-chipper mood.  By the way...who needs toys?  This girl loves chip bags!  It kept her preoccupied forever.  (Yeah, we're those parents.)
After staying awake all day, Ninang took Bug upstairs and forced her to nap. When we checked on them, this is what we found...
Tell me you don't think this is the cutest moment EVER.  EVER.  What a natural!  My sister is going to make an amazing mom. Good thing because that baby's coming out soon!
Ninang's method to get Bug to sleep:  Hug her tight and don't let go.  (If you know Bug, you know that staying still is not on her list of talents.)  How long did this nap last?  Oooh...20 minutes.  ::SIGH::  Typical.

Oh, we're still practicing the crawling thing.  It's going to happen soon, folks.  I can feel it.  We went gate hunting yesterday and found nothing that was right for us.  The search continues.  We did buy some safety locks for drawers and outlet covers, though.  Parental SUCCESS.
Check out Bug's push-up in this video!
These days, it feels like anticipating what Bug will do next is next to impossible.  It more or less feels like we're trying to catch up! She is growing so quickly!

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...
