Week 4

This week has been fun & boring, busy & slow, exciting and uneventful.
I'm thankful for new babies, friends from out of town, making it to the gym, my friend Emma and swimming play dates. I've been keeping busy and surrounded by people but I've been lonely at the same time.

I miss my guy. He is SO busy! Studying, stressing, staying up late, waking up early... HE IS ALMOST DONE! I've been doing my best being patient and helpful where ever I can but I still get sad. I know that once Phil is done with school he'll be just as busy with his new career. But it is a different kind of busy. He'll get to leave his work at work and when he is home he will be home with ME! During the school year I physically see Phil more often but mentally he isn't often available. Phil brought me flowers this week thanking me for being patient with not having a husband.
I'm thankful for my husband working hard for our future and our future baby Chings.

Aso

I probably know like 5 words in Ilocano(my grandma's language) and Tagalog(country's main language).

Aso = dog

when my Grandma says dog in "english" she says doog-doog

maybe my new life goal is to learn Tagalog so when I go to the Philippines I'm not a total idiot or tanga.

Any recommendations on programs? Rosetta Stone?

Seriously! Could Jon be any cooler?



Jon it was great seeing you. I'm so excited for your latest ventures, congratulations on being so cool. Please take care of Casey and Lauren!!!

I need to get this picture AUTOGRAPHED!

I'M FINISHED!

I just made like 12 catch up posts from the last 2 months. Because my blog is kinda like my "journal" I dated each post
when it should have been posted.
So check my history from
Nov to Current!!!!!

Total Girl

I've adjusted my work schedule for a few weeks, I'm working 7am-3:30pm so I can take Emma on outings after nap.

Yesterday we spent about an hour at KMart and we didnt buy a thing!

-First we tried on shoes for about 25mins. She LOVES putting on other peoples' shoes.
-Then we explored the 4 isles of toys.
-Then we found a twirling sunglass stand full of kid sunglasses. She spent a good 20mins just trying on glasses and looking at herself in the mirror.
-And finally, the jewelry section. We tried on all kinds of bracelets and necklaces.

She's only 2 and already likes to shop like her mama.


P.S. While holding baby Mo yesterday(or should I say baby Peter), he had a little spit-up... then he coughed and it all went in my mouth.

Happy Birthday Mo-Mo

Phil and I have had a fun full last 4days. We had Emmers for 3nights while mama and dada were a tiny bit busy giving birth to Mo...

Emma is a silly silly girl that LOVES Beyonce. Hard to get her to sing it full out. We prettymuch have the music video on replay all day.

Emma is talking so much. When she says a word wrong I have a hard time correcting her because its so darn cute.

Every time Emma comes over she ALWAYS wants to call Betsy.

Big Girl Emma loves her new princess boots and Nu-Nu's fake glasses.

Mo was very thoughtful and thought he would come in the early afternoon on Sunday. Perfect timing for Emma's nap. We got to wait in the waiting room with Bumpa, Bill, baby Elly, Uncle Branen, Ki-Ki and Ruby.
We were so so EXCITED! It was a good day.
Ruby took Emma so Phil and I could visit P&J in the delivery room. Emma would have gotten confused and sad to see mama in a bed. When it was my turn to hold mr. man I couldnt hold back the tears. I had to take a min. ha ha ha

Our new baby friend! We love love him!
I'm excited for Mo to wrestle Jericho and go on a dump truck ride with Bill... you know, boy things!Nu-Nu needs to buy more boy toys! I've been surrounded by girls!!!
