Christmas morning seemed to come so quickly this year. Maybe its because its 85 and sunny over here!   Adam woke up on Christmas morning and we went to get him for some snuggles in our bed, our favourite thing to do when we don’t have work.  He asked right away about the cookies thatContinue reading “December 25, 2013”

Christmas Eve was spent relaxing at home this year and it was perfect.  Randy and I had work in the morning (yes, I started work! more on that to come) but luckily we were able to leave early and pick up some fun stuff for dinner.  We decided to go with a fun tapas dinnerContinue reading “December 24, 2013”

Lots of love from sunny Manila.  We wish we were all closer and could have a big barbeque together.   Sending lots of love from our family to yours.

Every year for the past four years Randy and I have made linzer cookies for Christmas.  Or to be more precise I make linzer cookies and force Randy help (he secretly loves it).  There were some grumbles the first year when we had no hand mixer and poor Randy had to mix the butter andContinue reading “Christmas cookes”

This past weekend we went to the Embassy Christmas Breakfast.  Mommy and dadddy had been talking about Santa for weeks and I wasn’t really sure what they were talking about.  But here I am getting my first glimpse.   I wasn’t too sure but mommy and daddy promised me a treat if I went overContinue reading “Santa and me”

For Adam’s birthday we threw him a circus party and invited 25 of his closest friends. I figured since this was the last year Adam would be an only child he deserved something a little special. Being s a circus party and all we needed lots of popcorn, animal crackers, and balloons and candy inContinue reading “The Greatest Show on Earth”

Adam’s actual birthday was a great day.  We woke up and daddy made him some chocolate chip pancakes as an extra special treat.    Then it was present time.  Adam is so lucky to have Michelle and Maria taking care of him.  They both got him birthday presents.  Michelle got Adam a golf club whichContinue reading “December 6th”

For the longest time when people ask me how old Adam is I’ve been saying almost two or calculating how many months he is. But now when people ask, the answer is two! I guess the stage where I count how many months Adam is has officially closed (although I guess I could technically sayContinue reading “A two year old”

We miss you over here Simone (and Carrie and Frederick of course)!  We can’t wait to see you again, in Manila or in DC or somewhere in between!   These two geniuses, we wanted to get a picture of them together in front of the tree but they refused to put their books down.  PerhapsContinue reading “Goodbye Simone!”

Since we left Puerto Galera early we decided to pick up our Christmas tree on Saturday evening.  We put it up Saturday night so when Adam woke up the next morning he got to see it! He was so excited he kept saying big and lights.  Sunday morning we woke up and had some pancakesContinue reading “Christmas Tree Day”
