Too much park?

We have been unbelievably busy since Bug turned 2...which is why this post is so late.  I'm not even sure when my last one was (could have been yesterday, could have been last week -- I can't even tell the difference these days).  Now that Bug is 2, she is so much harder to tire out.  You parents understand me.  When I'm with Bug, the only thing I can think of is how I can tire her out.  It's exhausting!  :)  Admit it- you do it too.  So, a few of Bug's school friends and their families meet up with us at the park for some after-school-tire-your-kids out time. :)  We bring dinner and watch the kids run around, trade food, help them up the playground apparatuses that frighten the living daylights out of the moms, and have some parent quality time. :)  It's so amazing to see Bug interacting with her buddies from school.  She is a Bug I've never seen when she's with them.  I love watching them talk to each other like mini adults, run around chasing each other, and even interacting with other children's parents.

I guess I can no longer call her baby L.  I mean, look at her!  Just like Bug, not a baby anymore.  Big girl L (a.k.a BGL) it is! :)

These two have been little buddies since they were only a few months old.  It's incredible to have been able to watch them grow together.


BGL and her pizza face!  Okay, so she really actually likes my camera. :)

This one couldn't take the pizza out of her mouth long enough for me to snap a photo.  You'd think I was bothering her or something. :)

That one time that Big girl G (BGG) tried to throw the wood chips in the air like Big boy C (BBC- ha!) and didn't actually let go of them.  She is so funny.



Another positive to play dates- learning life lessons.  Sharing is caring.  Figure it out for yourselves. :)  I'm all about exposure and experiences. 

BGG and her mommy. :)


Yup, she tried to eat a piece of wood.

And of course, after hours of silence, baby C2 (BBC's baby bro) makes his presence known.

Such a zoo.  And this is a good one.  Usually all the children are with someone else's kids.  At least here they're all paired up with their own.  Also another positive to play dates- having a million eyes counting all the kids and keeping an eye out for them.

Obviously nearing bedtime.


When your crew is this cool, you don't need to look at your parents.



On top of play dates with school friends, we also have play dates with non-school friends.  Here is Auntie Di sliding down with J!

J's mommy and little sissy.





On top of  all those park dates, Mommy has been very busy with photography bookings!  Check out baby Sarah's 1st birthday (a.k.a her Korean Dol!).

God has been very good to Mommy and blessing her with so many new experiences in the world of photography.  Sometimes things just fall into place.  

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...
