2 years, 3 months, and 8 day Bug

Good grief, I'm behind on this 2 year and 7 month update.  We're quickly approaching 2 years and 8 months.  I've been posting this entry because I have no idea where to begin.  So let's just bullet point all the things I think are interesting about Bug lately.

She has perfected the art of play dating, which has resulted in a ton of progress when it comes to sharing.  Bug has even surprised me with her ability to take the "high road" when someone takes her toys.  However, she still has her limit, but for the most part, I've noticed a lot of growth and maturity when it comes to sharing.  Perhaps we're missing our window of opportunity to have a second kid. Haha!
She is getting so social that even at play dates, she has managed to adopt a fourth grandmother.  Here is G's grandma with ALL the kids at the play date.
Dad and I recently celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary.  (Go us!)  We went on a date with Bug and Mulan.  :)
Bug's social skills are beyond amazing.  So amazing that when we went to dinner, she schooled the manager about Disney princesses long enough that when the server brought the bill he said, "The manager gave you the dessert for free because your kid is so cute."  Darn.  We should have ordered two.  :P
Our tiny dancer is a rock star.  Here she is, the only student alone with the teacher for 10-15 minutes while the other dancers were still hanging onto their parents.  Although sometimes I wish Bug would hang onto me, when I see how independent and fearless she is, I am so proud of her.




 Her organizing skills rock. She loves things a certain way...the ONLY way.
 She has a love for music, dance, and rhythm I've only seen in Dad.  When there's music, we must dance, sing, or tap our feet.

I'm sure I missed a load of stuff, but these are the only things I can think of.  More to come and I semi-promise that the 2 years and 8 month update won't take so long.  :)  Ugh!  I didn't even bullet point.  I suck.  Empty promises.

God Bless,
Kat

*Check out how busy mom's been!

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...
