A Greek wedding, Lo time, and a helper.

This weekend the hubs and I attended one of the most beautiful weddings, for our friends, Renee and Eric.  I forgot my camera (GASP!) so these photos from my lame phone will have to do.
The wedding took place at a Greek Orthodox church and from the moment we stepped in, we knew it would be an amazing ceremony and it was!  Congratulations to my sorority sister, Renee.  You deserve this happily ever after.  I love you!

We left Bug with Mama and Papa overnight and when we came back to pick her up on Sunday, we heard she had a bad night.  Then I saw Mama.  Bug had broken her.  I've never seen her so tired from one night with one baby.  Honestly, it looked like they were up all night partying.  My mother is the kid whisperer and can tame any child.  How did this happen?!?!  :/  My kid does not make it easy.  Any other volunteers for babysitters?  :/

We also had lots of girl time this weekend with Ninang and Lo.

She is so happy.





While Mommy was hanging with Lo, guess what Bug was doing?

Taking over Lo's stuff and watching Sesame Street.  Big shocker, I know.

I'm not sure if you know this, but 15 months has been rough for us.  Bug is on the move and running errands has been quite difficult without her wanting to jump out of every stroller, car seat, and shopping cart.  However, since we are headed on our road trip to Oregon this week, there was a lot to be done.  I had the day off on Monday and took Bug with me to run all my errands.  Go me!  I did them so quickly she had no time to stop and think.  I beat her at her own game.  Ah-Ha!  Mommy wins...today.

We got home and while cleaning up toys, I turned around and found a certain someone had gotten to her baby wipes and was cleaning Mommy's kitchen floor.  Awesome.  You go, kiddo.  Keep up the good work!


She cleaned the floor for 15 minutes.  She's good.  What a good helper!

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...
