2 years and 2 month Bug

Happy 2 years and 2 months to this dancing toddler!
Yup, you guessed it.  Buggy is now enrolled in her first dance class, courtesy of Mama and Papa!  (They're investing in her love of dance.  Hahaha.)  Last Saturday she had her first class and to make the transition easier, two of her school friends, L & G were there too! So we get to see them all week long!
Buggy made it through the entire hour-long class without missing us.  Are we surprised at all?  Nope.  Way to go, big girl!  We can't wait for this week's class!

After class, C and his family met up with us and we all went out for some lunch!  These kids are inseparable and that makes me so happy. They are so cute!

Other recent developments include:
1- Being attached to mom.  Bug has discovered her love of "coffee" (milk) because she's "tired."
 Have no fear, she's still semi-attached to Dad.
But we both bore her sometimes.  This was Bug during a Friday night dinner with Mom and Dad.
2- Styling herself.  This girl is now picking and choosing her clothes. She will allow us to give it a try, but if we fail to pick the perfect outfit the first time around, she immediately goes through her own clothes to find what she likes.  And sometimes before bed, this is what we end up with- an Easter hat, a scarf, and pajamas.  To each his own, right?



Potty training update:
Remember the drama with school not allowing us to bring her in panties? So we had to use pull-ups at school?  Well, a few weeks ago, they let a little boy come to school in underwear so we met with the director and let them know we would be doing the same.  Since then, Bug has made tremendous improvement in the potty training category.  She only has accidents when situations change- like staying at Mama and Papa's house when Mommy and Daddy were gone.  However, at school, she has been accident-free since the day we brought her in panties.  This girl knew she was in pull-ups and that pull-ups were like diapers and the second we put her in panties, she was good to go.  Way to go, Buggy!  We're so proud of you!

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...
