Picture Update!

Picture update!

Uncle Kris is finally back from his 40-day vacation and one of the first things he did was see his little Bug!  Bug did a lot of growing while Uncle Kris was gone.  She was almost an entirely different person!  A big girl to say the least...with lots of words.

Dancing outside the Zumba studio.


Baby Kaelyn's baptism...
 ...and reception at the park!

I don't know if I've mentioned it yet, but my grandpa (Papang) has been in a nursing facility for awhile now due to some health issues.  Because the family and I have been sick on and off for the last three weeks, last weekend was the first time we felt comfortable enough to visit him without infecting him with whatever cold one of us had.  


My brother and his family were able to come down from Sacramento to visit Papang too.  I know he appreciated that.  I'll be honest.  It's been tough for all of us to see Papang in this condition.  He's usually so jolly and upbeat.  He's always been a fighter, though and I'm hoping that fighting spirit pulls through for him again.  We love him so much.

Guess who's learning to waaaaaalk!!?!?!?!?!  Lo becoming mobile has done wonders for her relationship with Bug.  Bug now sees her as a person...kind of.  I'm sure once she's better on her feet and can take more than 2 steps, Bug will love her. :)

Napping it out after a long weekend with all her cousins.  Did I mention the nap was from 4:30pm-7pm?  :/

I left for the market and someone took out all of her stuffed toys and lined them up for roll call.  So bossy.  Then she made them watch her while she ate her yogurt. 

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...
