Grandma has been visiting me in Manila for a whole month! It went so fast and she’s already on a plane back to New York.  I miss her already but we had loads of fun while she was here. I introduced her to all of my friends. I took her to school. We played.   IContinue reading “Showing Grandma around”

Ever since our last trip to the aquarium, which ended in tears at the gift shop for at least two of us, we haven’t been back.  With Grandma Gretch visiting I felt brave enough to try again. I’m so glad I went back.  Adam, even the animal lover, has a soft spot in his heart forContinue reading “Aquarium – Take two”

Wherever I go I always like to see the zoo.  Before I even had Adam I’ve dragged Randy to the London zoo, the Genoa aquarium, even the Staten Island Zoo (this was one of our earliest dates).  So now that I have Adam and Grandma is visiting there really isn’t any excuse not to goContinue reading “When In Rome”

When we left Bali we luckily weren’t faced with the usual leaving vacation blues because the Jordans flew back to Manila with us! We did have Thursday blues when we woke up and the Jordans weren’t here anymore which resulted in this.  Das if of course Aunt Daf, as she forever will be now knownContinue reading “The Jordans in Manila”

Now onto the main event, what you’ve all been waiting for, pictures of Adam.    1) My number one in Bali with Adam was watching him interact with his Uncle and Aunt.  He loves them so much and was in heaven the whole week.  There were always two willing happy people to play with him, liftContinue reading “Top three Bali with Adam”

There are so many reasons why having Maria, our nanny, come with us on vacation is a plus but here are the top three.  1) Being able to read my book by the pool.  This is high on my list.  While I love playing with Adam in the pool and the beach, it is definitely a treat to beContinue reading “Top Three Bali without Adam”

We decided to bring Maria, our nanny, to Bali with us.  One of the many benefits of this was that we were able to go to lots of fun dinner with Daf and MJ (more on that later) and we were also able to spend a whole day exploring Ubud.  Ubud was about an hour and aContinue reading “Eat, Love and Pray in Ubud”

What did I do to get ready for Bali, you ask?  Well, I had to pack all the appropriate clothes.    I had to find the right sun protection and swim gear.     I had to pack all my essentials.       Make sure my swimming was up to snuff.     ThenContinue reading “Bali prep”

In between Bohol and Bali we were home in Manila for a week.  We decided to relax and take it easy 🙂 Just kidding.  We headed to school.  Lots to do there, painting, water tables, toys galore.  This  class is twice a week for an hour and I go with Adam.  It’s such a greatContinue reading “Home sweet home”
