Our last day in Puerto Galera we woke up and had a yummy breakfast.     Then Randy and I headed off to snorkel while Adam and Maria headed off to play in the sand.     It was amazing to spend the morning with Randy and get to snorkel in such beautiful waters.  I’veContinue reading “Coral Garden”

We woke up Sunday full of energy and ready for a fun day of sightseeing in Puerto Galera.   After a yummy breakfast, Adam got ready for some snorkelling.       We booked a Jeepney for the morning to take us around Puerto Galera.  It was our first time in a Jeepney and we wereContinue reading “Our Jeepney tour”

I have a lot more pictures from our weekend away but our boat shipment finally arrived so after unpacking all day I’m headed to bed at 8:30.  I leave you with this sweet little video.    http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=http://redirector.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D7cee6dca475dcc5c%26itag%3D5%26source%3Dpicasa%26cmo%3Dsensitive_content%253Dyes%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1372464235%26sparams%3Did,itag,source,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D735A1D55BB0F1A253FF8CAE90E0E89868FEE90E9.1DD2A58D07A6CD5D810A433B634A65B131E068E%26key%3Dlh1  

I never imagined I would live somewhere where this would be only a short ferry ride away. But let me start at the beginning.  We decided for Memorial Day weekend to go to Puerto Galera.  There is no flight involved to get there and for me and Randy, this will always be a big selling point. Continue reading “A Short Ferry Ride Away”

One- this is a pomelo.  It is the best fruit ever.  It tastes like grapefruit that isn’t sour and we are addicted in the Ali house.  If you can find this, go and buy it! It is the most refreshing fruit ever.   Two- We’re off to the beach for the long weekend so we’ll seeContinue reading “Two Quick Things”

I know there will come a time when Adam saying a new word will not feel like the most exciting thing since he took his first steps but for now it really is that exciting.  It’s so amazing to hear his voice and see what’s going on behind those big brown eyes. For the longestContinue reading “Lots to Say”

I am always trying to cook soup and Randy is always telling me he’s not interested.  I am always trying to make bean soup and Randy is always telling he’s not interested.  I am always trying to make minestrone bean soup and Randy is always telling me he’s not interested. It’s probably more hated byContinue reading “Minestrone for the boss”

I’ve always wanted to be in a book club and I finally joined one here.  Ok, by joined I mean I’ve read the last two books but I haven’t actually had a chance to go to the meetings.  But both books have been really good.  I’m always looking for good books and since the TVContinue reading “Book Club”

My Granny Grace was such a special woman.  She passed away when I was in High School and I often think about how I would have loved if Adam could have known her.  She is his Great Granny and he would have loved her. She was the one who started my lifelong love of books and GinContinue reading “Great Granny Grace”
