Happy Father's Day!

Happy Birthday, Tita Lycette!

Napless in Vancouver

I don't know what it is, but it's been three days that Karch has skipped his one and only afternoon nap! Thank goodness, Tessa is still napping regularly. Lately, all I've been doing is putting Karch down in his room, while I lay next to him. I end up falling asleep, and he ends up playing with his pillows! Do you think this is the end of his naps?! Oh gosh, help me! I should have ferberized him when I had the chance. Oh well, at least, I'm able to nap, while he has his "down time."

On a side note, we just wanted to thank Gabriela and Ed for the pasta from Italy that they sent to us. K & T loved it!

A Happy Day

Not only did Karch and Tessa's third cousin (I guess?!), Pablo, turned two and Aby (my SIL) graduated today, but Tessa also turned eight months today! My baby girl is growing up!

Wow, despite the yucky rain (AGAIN!), here in Vancouver, it was a happy day in all coasts today!

Seattle Sunday

Today, we took a day trip to Seattle to meet Ray's cousin, Apple. This is the first time K & T have seen their Tita Apple, so it was nice for them to meet her. So, not only did K meet who he calls, "Apple Juice," but he also got to go on his first ride at the fair by the Space Needle. As well, Tessa and Karch got to experience their first train ride, courtesy of Seattle's Monorail.

It was a tiring trip; I tell ya, taking two children, 2 and under, to any trip is quite an ordeal. Thank goodness, my mom came with us and drove most of the way to and from Vancouver. Nonetheless, it was great seeing Apple on our sporadic trip to Seattle!

SATC...finally!

After waiting a whole week, I finally got a two-hour dose of SATC. I watched the movie today, and it was everything a fan like me could ask for! The fashion was amazing! The storyline was exactly what a fan would want for the foursome! It was worth all the jazz! Okay, obviously, since I'm ending my sentences with exclamations, you can tell that I loved, loved, loved the movie! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...that was totally worth all the rainy days this week, stuck at home with the kids, watching Nemo, and just going crazy and waiting for Saturday to come. Thanks to Mon for waiting to watch it with me.

For those SATC fans who haven't seen it, go see it....NOW!

Birthdays and Goodbyes

Today, we celebrated Jaevon's birthday (our friends, Caryl and Terence's son) with an art- gallery-themed-party. It was a fun-filled brunch where the kids got to paint, sculpt, play, and eat sweets. Thanks, Caryl and Terence for hosting an awesome party!

We also celebrated Anton's last days here in the 604. We went to Tsawwassen, had some OP (Ocean Palace...yummy Chinese food) and cake, and just hung out.

It was a busy and tiring day, but it was time well-spent with friends and family.
