Trial Run

Last night, Uncle Scott had his first ever babysitting duty while Daddy and I went to our church group.  I prayed that this would go smoothly and without a hitch and it did!  Uncle Scott made it out alive, without any scars!  Yahoo!  Next time we'll see if Uncle Scott can handle bedtime. :)

So attached when Uncle Scott went to the bathroom, Bug went searching for him.


Someone's about to get a kiss!

Lucky man.



That curly mop on her head is her real hair.  It's insane how the curls keep getting tighter and tighter!

Bug even got to practice her photography skills!


After Uncle Scott left, Mommy and Daddy were bombarded with kisses and hugs for about half an hour from a Bug that obviously missed us.  We loved every minute of it!

Thank you, Uncle Scott for babysitting while Mommy and Daddy got some quality time to refresh themselves at their church group.  We are so blessed to have you around!

Church group was amazing, as always.  It's a great time for the hubs and I to gather ourselves together and to re-charge for another week, hopefully serving as a great example to Bug of what working as one, with Christ at the center, is like.  We have some pretty amazing friends that help us along the way and serve as a living example of Christ to us and that remind us that we are not alone in our journey.  God is so good and we are so blessed.

Because of the day-to-day activities, we often fail to recognize that we are never alone.  Walking back to our car around 7:30pm, I looked up and saw this.  Darkness all around and light still shining around and highlighting the cross.
What an awesome reminder that we are never alone in our journey and aside from our family and friends, Christ is always with us. 

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...
