Babysitting

This weekend, Bug had an overnight play date with Mama and Papa so the hubs and I were able to have almost a full 24 hours together!  Yahoo!  

We couldn't start the day without getting some coffee!

This is Peetus (I think that's how they spell it).  He wanders to our apartment every so often, thinking it's his home.  It's not your home, Peetus.  My cat hates you.  You sure are cute, though.

Our community hosts an annual Octoberfest and this year, we finally got to attend!

Cheesy small town sign. :)  You've gotta love it.

Of course we invited Uncle Scott!

We were Bug-less on a day where we shouldn't have been.  Everyone brought their children.  This was not your normal Octoberfest.  This was a fair, with a few beer stands. :)

Guess which one was mine?






He's handsome, right?









How many beers have you had?  What?  2?  3?

Mama and Papa babysat Bug and I babysat these twins.

Uncle Scott insisted we play some Bingo. They definitely don't play the way I did when I was young.  Apparently it's a more complicated game than I thought.  :/  Who knew?



After Octoberfest, the hubs and I met up with our friends for dinner and a movie.  Dinner, not rushed, with alcohol, some conversation, and after 6pm.  A non-Sesame Street film?  It was amazing.

Thank you to Mama and Papa for babysitting!

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...
