Bye Lolo Dennis & Easter Sunday

Thomas wakes up and looks for Lolo Dennis.  Dan explains that he went home to BUF.  Thomas "Can we go to Uffalo?"

Had Easter Egg hunting with the cousins at Narra. John got all the premium eggs (thanks to Lola) and shared his excess with Kuya Thomas and Ate Gabby. :)  Afterwards, had a 2nd Easter Egg Hunt with the SE kiddies at the Ruste house.  Lots of fun & too much sugar!

Lolo's last day :(

Tali Beach with Lolo Dennis

We all went to Tali with Lolo Dennis, Lolo Lito & Lola Nits.  Was a wonderful relaxing trip.  Thomas, Lolo & Papa went to the beach everyday and played all morning.  John was terrific and relaxed at home with Mama.

J cooing

Today was the 1st time John cooed :)  Adorable!

We heard Mass with Papa Wolbert at 11am & then had a nice quiet lunch at Narra with Lolo/Lola and Tito Manu.  Thomas was overly excited about all his new books & toys... especially the stamps!  Big jet and red train. :)

Papa Dennis arrives in MNL!

Welcome to MNL, Papa Dennis!  We are so happy he's visiting - all 4 of us couldn't wait to see him at the airport.  So many goodies too!

Today was also my 1st project for Wolber's sweets and treats making the giveaway for Arvi's and Steve's wedding.  Was a great learning experience - lots of fun & sleepless nights!  Also learned to save some for the bride & groom and their families because the Filipinos finished everything (and even stole the groom's cookie!) right after the Mass.

As soon as Mass ended...

Friday family time in CPK

Have made it our usual Friday night family date to go to Town for dinner at CPK and then take T to the carousel :D

He had a great time at swim class again and so we went shopping afterwards for some dive toys to play with Grandpa when he arrives.

1st meeting with EWB

Dan had his 1st meeting with the banks... starting with EWB.  So far, so good!  Better than he hoped. :D

In the afternoon, we had our Arts & Crafts SE mommas playdate.  Dan joined and Thomas made a piggybank + painting using wet japanese paper.

John's US passport

Baby J officially has a US passport today!  Thankfully, it was a breeze going through the process. 

In the afternoon, we had T's swim class and he did amazingly well diving underwater :D  He's now swimming from the middle of the pool until the wall all by himself!

Feeding himself

Getting better at eating by himself

Arts & Crafts playdate

T had a blast at his A&C playdate.  He made 3 paintings with the help of Tita Krissy :)

Very interesting to watch him "make friends" with the other boys - particularly Cathy's & Mia's sons.  I'm sure soon enough he will learn how to share better.

T's last day of class
