1st movie - Monsters University / Jumping Jack

We loved Monsters University!  Thomas had his own booster seat & was happy the entire time watching the monsters. John saw his 1st movie ever & even got an ID from the University.

Also had better sales on our 5th day at the Saturday Market! :)  Several repeat customers & other new customers. So happy!

Our little John (or Jack?!) has mastered the jumperoo!  Woot woot :D

Bye bye, Aunt Marie & Visit by Yu family

We had such a great time with Aunt Marie!  So happy she was able to stay with us for a whole week. :.)  We took her to Abe, Palms, the club, Chili's, Tali ;)  Such exotic places!

Chester & Tots visited us with Jamie & Rachel too.  Another great afternoon with new playmates! :)  Had our 1st meal with Yaya Neneng who cooked us a feast. Nom nom nom!

Chili's with Aunt Marie

Took Aunt Marie to the best restaurant in Manila... Chili's!  hah!

Day at Town Center

Aunt Marie took Thomas to the carousel. Had a nice lunch with Ninang Kat while Mama talked to Gap about working again.  (Yes mama was very nervous!)  Thomas zonked out while having lunch AGAIN!  Papa Dan joined the planning session at Stratpoint over a working lunch so he joined us at home in the afternoon.

"Papa"

John looked up from the bed and cried "Papa" :)

Tali Beach and ... Eat my foot!

Took Aunt Marie to Tali Beach for a night. Papa Dan is finally convinced that wearing sunglasses is a good thing (aside from it being way cool!).  What a hottie he is ;)  We had dinner at Gourmet Cafe (Farms) which Dan really enjoyed! Yay - new place to eat :)  That's when John found the most delicious and tasty snack ever!

Saturday Market

Had a great time this Saturday because Marie joined me at the market. HUGE HELP & SUPPORT! :.)  It was also our 1st time to have a logo & business card.  So exciting!  

Here are some of the pictures she took.

Crossfit & baking for the Saturday Market

Aunt Marie went with Papa Dan to 6.30am crossfit then helped Mama prepare for the Saturday Market.

Welcome, Aunt Marie!

In her 1st 24 hours, Aunt Marie worked out at the club, had lunch at Abe and spent the afternoon at the parlor :)  She took the most awesome (or ridiculous) picture of the boys... hah! :D   And how can we miss... the best sponge candy ever! 

We are so thrilled she's here with us for a whole week!!!

Chris Nelly & Gap girls

Dan took Chris Nelly out to the club while I took the Gap Licensing ladies (Becky & Susie) to SM/Glorietta/Greenbelt.

1st day of school

Thomas has new classmates for this coming schoolyear.  But fortunately, his teachers are the same beloved Teacher Marijo & Teacher Bel & Miss Sherly.

"I hide John in the pillows"

Oh yes!  For real.

Playing in the jumperoo & dinner with Adam Bastein

John can play with the toys on the jumper.  He has been rolling the little rattle while leaning forward on it :)

Thomas has been very affectionate and sweet lately.  Many many baby kisses and "I love you" :.)

Had dinner with Adam who was passing through manila between El Nido and going back to NYC. Took him to Draft at Greenebelt 3 & really enjoyed ourselves :)

Date with Lola at Palms

We had a great day with Lola at Palms. Thomas slept for 2.5 hours on my lap (through the entire lunch) and then woke up & demolished 2 pieces of chicken & rice.  He was in such a good mood!

I pulled an all-nighter making the "Good Bars" in time for Katrina's pilates class.  Felt like a zombie all day!

Chili's & Andi's fashion show

We had dinner with the Manosa's at Chili's after Andi's fashion show. Tita Denise & Tito Bob think Dan is hilarious!!! :D (probably because of all the margarita he downed :) )

Booked flight tickets

Dan booked our BUF tickets for August!  Dave, Derrick & Marie booked their trip to Manila too... so much family time to look forward to :D

Pele was born & Kuya Paolo returned back home after over a month of being in Dumaguete, San Carlos & Myanmar.  Thomas had so much fun playing, he refused to eat anything.  So we passed by McDonald's at 10pm and he finished all 6 chicken nuggets and fries!

I also had a call with the India team to chat about the Capacity Management project... so exciting ;)

Date with T at Timezone

Got him started on the Timezone craze... not a good idea!  Now I'm going to have a crying big boy begging to enter every time we pass it.

HBD lolo & Happy anniversary Lola!

Had an awesome celebration for Lolo & Lola at Palms specially made by Chef Hans :)  nom nom nom!

1st time at Alabang Saturday Market

With lots of help from Tita Marlie, hard selling also from Lolo & Lola and the coercion of Dan to finally join the market, we did it!!!  It was a great 1st time and we finished all the brownies by 11am :)  The fruit & nut bars were also well-received.  Just a little bit more stock left and more flavors to experiment on.

Stocks left at noon
