That's a first.

 Before New Years Eve, Uncle Scott spent some quality time with Bug!


Our holiday break was BUSY, but fun, filled with lots of Ninang, Ninong, and Lo time!

We don't normally get a chance to have breakfast as a family, but this weekend, we found some time!

How cute is this Bug?

Watching Bug color can be a chore.  She sure moves the book (and herself!) around a lot while doing it!

Daddy had to work on NYE, so Bug and Mommy had some alone time.
First stop, Starbuck!  (Duh!)  While at Starbucks Bug found a friend and in an instant ditched Mommy.  Ditched by my own date.  However, she did leave behind replacements- "Guck" and Minnie.

Since I wanted Bug to be able to make it through the night, I made sure she had multiple naps on New Years Eve.  So, we spent a ton of time in the car.

 
When Daddy came home, we headed to Mama and Papa's house to have what I now refer to as a "parent party".  You know...where you really don't party and you just hang out, watching TV, changing diapers, and eating.  Sounds like an awesome night to me!  :)



Someone really likes salsa.  She is so me.  At some point, she even dropped the chips and just ate straight up salsa!  :)



 Cooperative and cute little Lo in her NYE outfit!


Big girl sitting up all on her own!  When you've got muscles like her, you can do anything!

Then there's this girl.  She decided that since she was so cooperative during Christmas, she'd give it a rest for NYE.




Then she came around again.  She just really needed her real party dress on.  New development- THIS.


Getting tired.


Pajama and play time with Lo.



Putting both toys to bed.  This girl is so cute.

Bug's view.  10pm.


Bug never made it to midnight.  She fell asleep at 11pm.  Actually, she dragged me upstairs and begged me to put her in the pack and play, and had no qualms about sleeping next to a snoring Papa.  That's a first.  So we rang in the new year quietly.  This New Years was way more successful than last. Maybe next year she'll make it to midnight!

The next day Bug was so tired.  So I put her back in the car for a nap.  I sat in the car outside Mama and Papa's house and needed company.  Guess who came to hang out!?!?!


Zzzz...




We got home in the afternoon yesterday and after dinner decided to take Bug out for frozen yogurt.

Begging.

Then we had some more play time.  New development- taking her hair bands and putting them on her wrist.  :/  Uuuugh!


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...
