Snapshot Updates

Our lives have been HECTIC this hoilday season.  So I'm going to have to do my updates with some snapshots and very few comments.  I'll get to the point.  Yay for you! :)
 
Mommy has been all about Christmas lately.  She even had time to embroider a stocking for Bug!  (Thank goodness for that 7th grade Home Economics class!)

Mommy also made a garland! :)

She did NOT make this, but won it at a work holiday party! :)

We have no fireplace, so the stockings hang on the wall. :)

Aunts, uncles, and grandparents have filled up this tree pretty quickly!

We even did some holiday shopping.
 
Sure, make yourself at home. :)  Daddy with no shirt and Bug with no pants.  So weird.  It's winter, right?


Ketchup lover.  Honestly, she could care less about the fries.


Sweet (and quiet) mornings. This girl loves her "guck".

We even had time to get together with the Asians.  Love.  :)


Fake snow.  That's how we do it in So Cal.



Confession:  We've been so busy I was going to just buy some treats and send them to Bug's day care.  Last minute (last night), I felt guilty and decided to make some of my own...


...and this girl ate half of them.

Ta-Da!  Bug's treats for her teachers and personalized Christmas cards!

This is baby C.  Bug loves him.  Baby C also listens and does everything Bug tells him to do.  Poor kid.






New things:  We now nap on our 5 minute car ride home and we don't wake up for one hour, no matter what noise there is.  Then, we go to bed way later than usual.  (I'm not sure what's going on here.)

Look at those lashes!  She's gorg.

How loud is your kid?  I bet not this loud.



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...
