Tali Beach

Spent 4 days in Tali galavanting under the sun.  Kayaked in Lolo's brand new kayaks.  Thomas came with Tito Manu chasing us because he couldn't find papa & mama. :.)  John tried lettuce for the 1st time - and didn't like it. :P  He tried green beans too and those ended up on the floor.

We wore our new Gap / Old Navy outfits. Love!!!

Santa Claus!

Santa saved the day in Makiling!!!

Visiting Pio

Attempted to celebrate Christmas with Cesar & Celle but they both backed out.  Celebrated with Randee PG Pio & Pele.  Thomas & John, as always, love being with them :)  (or rather playing with their toys ;) )

k-pop-sicle :)

I love my bathtime

I love my bathtime! I've got to boogie!  In the blue tub ... aaaaaah aaaay yaaay!

Mommy in Delhi again

Absolutely missing my boys & feeling horrible for leaving especially when John had a bump in his head. :(  Since it was election time, I had a day to go sight seeing, visited the Rao family, and did some shopping.  While in the hotel, I'd chat with the boys and John learned how to kiss the iPad.  How cute (or sad!) is that?!

Bump on the head :(

John had a bump and has to take antibiotics for the 1st time. Not even T has ever needed antibiotics. :.(

Oh my Donald had a farm

And on this farm he had a dragon, e i e i o!  And fire fire here, and fire fire there.

KIRA!

Kira is here.  Tita Feliz, Dan & I visited Cer Brian & Kira in the hospital.  What a cutie tiny girl!

Family pictures & the buzz

We finally went to Picture Company to take some beautiful family pictures :.)  Loved them all! The boys are so adorable! 

Afterwards, we went for the buzz haircuts at the club with Bonie.  Both boys were so well behaved & look still so handsome with their short do's.

The Infestation

Today we officially discovered nits in John's hair, my hair, and lots of L in T's hair. Dan & I spent the entire evening combing through and cleaning their hair.  Such stress!  Feliz has been kind enough to offer to come over in the morning and check all of us.

Eskaya

Thomas was such a helpful big brother - loading the bags into the security conveyor.  

The resort was gorgeous!  Everything was perfect except for the mosquitos that feasted on us at night.  We thought the net was for effect - little did we know that huge thing wasn't even enough to keep them away. 

Our return flight got cancelled because of the lack of runway lights in Bohol - we ended up staying 1 night at Bluewaters. Not bad - had a nice relaxing time by the pool and watched How to Train Your Dragon to sleep :)

Guam

Spent the day in Guam.  Missed the boys tons & worked the entire day at the United lounge.

Relief goods

Bought relief goods for the evacuees from Tacloban who are in Villamor.

1st 3 words

John is becoming a very talkative boy... his 1st 3 words are:
1. Mama ;) 
2. Papa
3.  Tickle Tickle!

Back in Manila

Woke up at 5am with both boys & took our 7am flight back home.  Feels great to be back!!!

Bluewater resort

Flight home was cancelled because of the sunset curfew of the Bohol airport.  Stayed at Bluewater instead and Thomas loved the pool!  Booked ourselves on the 1st flight out Monday morning.

Watched How to Train Your Dragon to sleep.  Mama was more scared of Thomas - even after having watched it before. hah!

T's birthday @ Rosemont and... Chili's!

Thomas wanted to celebrate his birthday with cupcakes at school and then we went to Chili's afterwards to celebrate.

Happy 3rd bday T

Celebrated at Palms with close family & friends :)  Thomas specially requested for a train cake & helped make it even at midnight the night before. He was SO EXCITED for his party & train cake.  Finally understanding what his birthday means :.)
