The SunDress

Our first time in Bora. Year 2002. Jay proposed to me.



Last month was our 4th time in Bora together. 7 years later. I brought the same sundress with me. Wondering if it still would fit. Buti na lang...hehe!

Matt Moves Up to 2 Levels Higher




Matthew just had his moving-up ceremony last March 24 at SM Fairview Cinema 10. He received an award as Most Inquisitive Pupil, in other words, Pinakamakulit, he,he!

From Kinder 1, he's skipping Kinder 2. He's going to be in Prep in June. He's just 5, that means he'll be in Grade 1 by 6 years old.

He just has to take the Phonics 2 for 12 sessions this summer. This is to make up for the Phonics he'll be skipping in Kinder 2.



We're so proud of our boy. He's not as studious as other kids. I have to make sure he studies. He won't initiate it by himself. He's like his Dada. Nakakakuha ng good grades kahit di nag-aaral, hehe! The school principal said he was good in math and reasoning! Exactly like Dada.

Matt Turns 5

Kuya Matt turns 5 yesterday.

I first thought that since his birthday would fall on a school day, it was ok to just celebrate this at school. But Matt had a lot of requests. He wanted a costume party. He wanted to wear his Power Ranger outfit. He wanted pabitin and games. Things we could not do at school since birthday celebrations there could only take the recess time.

So we decided to do it either in Mcdo or Jollibee. He was the one who chose Mcdo since he loves the nuggets there.

I guess this is the right age that he has a say in his party. He chose the party theme and who to invite. Oh, he's having a world of his own...

Happy Birthday, dear Kuya Matt!

 


His guests were mostly classmates and churchmates.



The Power Rangers cake was courtesy of my good friend Avic of Edible Ideas.




Super Brother Luke danced the Papaya.







We were very happy!

6 Years After The Wedding



The long holidays gave me the chance to clean the family bedroom.

Dyarrrrrran...I found my wedding gown!

I was curious if it would still fit me, curious if I'm really back to my wedding weight.

VOILA!





The kids just loved to go inside the skirt.

OUR U.S. TRIP

I had a chance to make a collage of our US trip during the long holidays. I framed them and gave them to Jay as my Christmas gift. It's nice to look back in one of God's greatest blessings to us for 2008 even if I was 25 lbs. HEAVIER then, hehe!

Amazing Luke

Jay and I are so amazed with our second son, Luke. At 1 year and 8 months, he can now identify and pronounce most letters of the alphabet!

One day when we went to a dental clinic where there were rubber mats with pull-out alphabet letters, we were surprised that Luke would show and tell us what letter he was holding.



Luke actually showed early signs of love for reading and studying. He would often get a book and would ask me or Dada to read to him. He also loves to watch educational videos like Brainy Baby. He actually knows how to operate the DVD player. He loves to use his sketch board and would often ask me or Dada to draw for him.



My mom-in-law recounts that before Jay turned 2 years old, he could also recognize the alphabet but unlike Luke, he still had a difficulty pronouncing.




We feel really blessed!
