E's 4th Birthday!

This weekend we celebrated E's 4th birthday!  Auntie Michele is so good at DIY parties and this Agent Oso one was no exception.  She's insanely creative and I wish I could think of half the stuff she does for her kids' parties.  Anyhoo...I was able to capture it all for her.  Buggy had a blast playing with her E and S (and Daddy!).  :)
Playing in the dirt...before the party even started.
 Don't worry, I ate enough cupcakes for everyone.
Someone taking a picture of me?  That's insane.  I forget what that's like!  Unfortunately the only one E's Daddy caught of me was me taking one of him.  :)
 Here's the sad part- we missed the blowing of the birthday candles.  Seriously.  Right before they started the singing, Bug told us she needed to poop.  So, Daddy and I were in the bathroom with Bug. When we got out, I said, "Where'd the cake go?"  Womp, womp, womp.  So sad.  They already blew it out.  Like I told Auntie Michele- at least Bug didn't poop on your floor.  One negative to potty training- missing out on the good stuff because you're stuck in the bathroom waiting for someone to poop.
 Little S made me so happy.  She smiled for my camera willingly!  I'm not used to that these days.  Normally Bug is busy running away from my camera. So it was nice to have a kid around who has yet to be jaded by picture taking. :) 
 Take a good look at this picture.  It's the ONLY one I got of the birthday boy.  E is always on the move and I'm surprised I even caught this.  There's a lot to do at 4 years old and as E told me, "I'm 4 now.  I'm over 3."  Hmm...because 3 was so boring, right?  Hahaha.
We had a great time and feel really lucky to be a part of all of these celebrations with family and friends.  Thank you so much for having us over, M family!  We've missed you guys!

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...
