One hot afternoon

I don't want my baby to get dark.

Here's a photo of Summer and Omar one hot afternoon.

I hope the hat and the umbrella si enough to block the sun.

After bath

My baby loves to take a bath - not only because of the water, but she's so looking forward to wrapping her tiny hair like I do when I take a bath.

She tells me, 'Mama, hair!' everytime I towel her dry.

O diba, parang ang haba ng hair nya? hehehe

Daddy's birthDay with Summer

Mommy gave Daddy a birthday lunch, syempre sabit si Summer. Libre handa, dami pa gift hehehe. Thank you Mommy!

We had Daddy's birthday lunch on March 25 at DJ Paradise Resort at the VIP room. I provided Pancit Lucban and the cake and Mommy provided everything, fair share ha!

We were busy preparing for Mommy's birthday on April that we did not prepare any program for Daddy's unexpected birthday. Tito Joven volunteered to be the emcee for the party. He asked the guests to give their wishes for Daddy. He started with his siblings, with Mommy, with the children, and with the in-laws. Daddy had so much fun! He did not expect Tito Joven to host the party.

Happy birthday Daddy! Thank you Mommy!

Happy birthDay Summer!

It's Summer's birthday! She is now 2years old and I'm a little bit sad but happy. Ang gulo ko noh? Di na kasi baby ang baby ko. Big girl na sya.

We did not celebrate it with a party anymore after spending so much on her 1st birthday party hehehe. Instead, we brought her to Active Fun at Tiendesitas. I learned Active Fun from my e-group, N@W. We invited her cousins to join us. Unfortunately, Julian and Justine were sick and cannot join us while Jenjen, Paeng, and Ryan are too big to enjoy the place. Her Lolo Oka and Lola Olive joined us too. She loved playing at the pool of balls.

After an hour of playing and running around Active Fun, we brought the kids to Jollibee for snacks. My MIL bought a cake for her to blow on her 2nd year. She blew her cake, big girl na talaga! And the crew of Jollibee was so sensitive. While we were singing Happy birthday for Summer, she approached us and gave a tumbler for Summer, a small token but such a great thought from them.

Happy birthday Summer!

Luau Day

We were invited to attend Omar's cousin, Lizbeth, 18th birthday at BF Homes Club House with Hawaiian theme.

I was so excited, it was time to dress Summer up once again. I didn't knew at first that we can bring Summer along with us. I bought a head dress and lei for myself not knowing what to wear. When I learned that I can bring Summer, I gave her my head dress and lei. A day before the party, my MIL went to Divisoria to buy grass skirts just for the girls. Ang sweet!

Summer had fun running around the party in her grass skirt. I did not expect her to wear the grass skirt the whole time but she did until she changed to her pajamas at night. We had lots of picture taking in her costume.

You look so cute in Hawaiian, Summer!

New Year's Day with a Bang!

We went home just in time for the New Year's Eve with the Reantasos. Our flight arrived at the NAIA at 11am via Cathay Pacific from HongKong.

We went to my in-laws to have lunch and leave Summer for them to feast on hehehe. We then went home to sort some of our things for pasalubongs.

We went to hear mass at 8pm, had dinner, family picture taking and drank until 12midnight for fireworks. We wanted for Summer to stay inside the house, we do not want to scare her with all the noise. But we were wrong. She kept on crying because she wanted to go out to see all the lights inspite of all the noise. And so we brought her out. She had fun pointing at all the lights. It was her first time to celebrate New Year with fireworks.

We stayed up all night drinking with the Reantasos and slept at 3am.

We had dinner with the Alviz on January 4 at TongYang at Jupiter as our late celebration of New Year with them.
Happy New Year Summer!

Christmas Days at Canada

Now, we're back at Canada... but not for long and still it hasn't snowed! =(

We were back just in time for Christmas, blessing of our newly-renovated basement, and before we knew it, time to go home... oh no! That fast!

After attending the midnight mass, we had dinner at Tita Turing's house. After dinner, it was not yet time to go home. We still have to attend the Javier's Christmas Party. And we got lots and lots of Christmas gifts! Every Javier's house and party cannot go without singing. They even have to have 2 sets of magic sing per party - 1 for the adults and 1 for the children. They are like our second family at Canada. Everybody was just so warm and generous hehehe.

We had the blessing for our basement and we had chocolate fountain for dessert! Everybody feasted on it. They loved it! Aside from some menus we prepared, everybody came with a dish and a dessert... too much food!
Our cousins treated us for lunch to the best Japanese Restaurant I've ever been to - Sushi 7! It's all you can eat ala carte style. I love the dragon sushi!

Benjie picked us up at home and brought us to CN tower where we can see the whole city of Toronto at night for free. We took the train to the city and had picture taking on the train. Benjie took us at the glass floor hundred feet above the ground. And of course, our trip won't be complete without eating at the hotdog stand - even better than New York's.

Then, oh no! It was time to go home for our New Year's Eve with my in-laws back home.

My baby, so good in travelling, will be finally home. I hope you had a good time, Summer! Merry Christmas!
