So today at church, we sat right behind a large family, which isn’t that rare since: a) the average family size at our parish is probably about 6.5 and b) all the families with children under the age of 10 choose to sit in the “cry room” or the very back of the church (where… Continue Reading
It’s been a loooong week. I’m not sure why (although I have a few ideas) but I’ve been feeling ‘off’ and in some kind of emotional funk. Externally, many happy, fun things have been taking place. Internally, I feel like this… Thank you for sympathizing with momma, sweet G. Rather than analyze it too much,… Continue Reading
f Today we made our 1st trip to the Santa Ana Zoo. I was very excited to meet up with my dear friend Julianna and Alizea was pretty stoked about seeing Elyse. Of course we picked what seemed to be the day for all field trip’s as it was pretty chaotic in certain pockets but… Continue Reading
It’s hard to believe we haven’t seen each other in just over 9 years! It was just like old times and we picked up right where we left off from South Hall of VU. 3 marriages and 5 babies later we’re still the same ole silly ‘googs’… Suz on the floor playing with the babes.… Continue Reading
The honoring and appreciating actually began on Friday when I received flowers hand delivered at home. Dean threw me off because I didn’t think they could or would be from him considering he could hand deliver them himself on Mother’s Day! Initially, I thought it was silly that he went through the effort (& extra… Continue Reading
A few nights ago, I asked Dean if he/we had anything to do or anywhere to go for the coming Friday night. He said “are you asking me out on a date?” Indeed I was. Long gone are the days where I expect him to do all the planning when it comes to spending time… Continue Reading
Today was a super relaxing day enjoying the sunshine at the Emde Resort (aka Mimi’s and Bapa’s house). This is a sneak preview of what we’ll be doing this weekend and a whole lot this summer: Some special bonding time with grandchild #2. and Master Researcher/Landscaper/ Designer/Botanist Momma and I started the full blown planning… Continue Reading
Nothing too eventful in the past 2 days over here besides the fact that G is nearly sitting up, rolling, baby talking, grabbing, kicking, drooling, sucking on fingers (pretty sure she’s teething already which shouldn’t surprise me since EVERY thing is different about the girls, A didn’t teeth till 11 months!) and giggling….a lot! I… Continue Reading
I met Pauline at the St. Bonaventure CRHP Women’s retreat I attended last November. We were paired as roommates and we hit it off! She was born in Hong Kong, raised in Canada and has been in the States for the past 6 years. An extremely intelligent, trilingual revert to the Church with a vast… Continue Reading
Physically Spiritually And Mentally It was a wonderful, relaxing, filling, family day which ended with lots of time with Auntie Nee-nee (both work: preparing for her big interview tomorrow. Dean role-played the big boss which was hilarious to overhear, and lots of play with the girls). Some more shots from church enjoying the beautiful day:… Continue Reading
