Mothers Day- My Mama's Asian?!?

This weekend I got to celebrate my first official Mothers Day.  We were lucky this year because Mom came into town for a quick 3-day visit!  If you don't remember, Mom watched Bug back in November when all she did was scream.  This trip was completely different.  Instead of a trip full of cries, Mom was able to enjoy a funny, adorable, full of laughs Bug.  

On Saturday we went to visit Great Grandma Koll's grave at Forest Lawn.  It was Bug's first trip and we decided to have a short baby picnic while Grandma placed new flowers in Great Grandma Koll's site.
 Ooops, forgot to rub the sunscreen.
 Afterwards, we went to visit Aunt Colleen!
 Nap?  YEAH RIGHT.  IN OUR DREAMS.
 Twins! :)
 I LOVE this picture.  The man who stole my heart...and the Bug that stole it from him.  :P
 On Mothers Day we went to brunch with the Koll clan, then headed to their house for some bonding time.

What a view from their backyard!
Mama and her Bug.
 Mom and her babies.
 Then we had some play time in the grass...
 These two- soul mates.
 How we all gathered around this little girl all afternoon, I'm not sure, but she is FUN-NY.
Bug with the Koll family.  She fits in, right?  Koll family-you still have a chance to adopt her. :P

 Grandma and Bug time...


 Before Grandma left, she did bath time with Bug.
 A wiggly little Bug.  NONSTOP movement.  Grandma remembers Bug being wiggly from birth, but now, she has more strength.  It's a struggle keeping her in your arms.
 Wiggly.  Told you.
 Thrilled about getting her hair done.
 Until next time, Grandma.  We love you!
My daughter is funny...FUN-NY.  She copies my face when I smile and she squints.  Surprise!  Your Mama's Asian, Bug!
It sure was a fun weekend!  We always love when Grandma comes into town and Bug held it together with minimal screaming and staying up all night to socialize.  She knows that Grandma doesn't get to come too often, so she decided to be on her best behavior.  As her mother, I feel I need to say that she is "always" on her best behavior. Okay, not really, but I tried. :P  I'll wait until I have grandchildren to lie about them always being on their best behavior. Hahaa...

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...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
