50%

I've been slacking off on blogs lately.  One each week?  Insane.  There's so much going on in our D. family world, I feel kind of bad for not sharing.  Forgive me.  I've been chasing someone around the house and trying to calm the flames of her tantrum fires.  (In case you were wondering, I'm unsuccessful 50% of the time, but let's look at the positive- the other 50% of the time, I am successful.)  Sometimes there aren't even any tantrums.  There are just a ton of discussions happening between two adults and one stubborn Bug.

Like that one time we got home from day care and she refused to get out of the car seat.


Last week, Bug and I went to see Tita Ingrid and Tito Peter at their place, just 2 minutes from our's!  Woohoo!  It's so nice to have them nearby!

Reverting back to babyhood.



Learning to walk in Tita Ingrid's heels...and she took her purse.


Glam time.



Someone has become Mommy's little helper at the grocery store.  She pushes her little cart straight to the sample station...then makes another round just to come back for more food. :)

Bug is now pretty vocal when watching movies.  While watching Stuart Little 2, I caught her conversing with the characters.  I wish I had caught her when she was screaming at them, but I was so in awe I was a tad bit late on getting my camera.

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...
