As part of Randy’s birthday extravaganza we signed up for a China Town walking food tour. We were lucky and it was the same weekend that Kate was visiting.  We left the babies at home and took Adam with us. Are you wondering what we were wondering? How is Manila China town going to impressContinue reading “Hong Kong Walking Tour”

We had a busy week last week. Lately I feel like every week is a busy week…maybe we just have a busy life?  I had an overnight offsite for work at a nearby hotel and as we are in the Philippines, the night activities of course included Karaoke (and thankfully wine). As a birthday treatContinue reading “Don't stop believing”

For Randy’s birthday we decided to throw a big old party in our new apartment.  Granted this meant that we would be hosting 30 people 10 days after we moved in. I for sure underestimated the amount of work this would entail.  BUT….it did mean that I worked super hard to organize everything to getContinue reading “Happy 34th!”

You may be wondering where we’ve been lately.  A picture is worth a thousand words so let me show you… Yup that’s right, we moved.  Our current landlord didn’t want to renew our lease so we had to move. We were a bit bummed about it since we loved our apartment but since it’s notContinue reading “Movin' On Up”

What are we reading these days.  Current favorites are Curious George (despite Adam being scared of monkeys he loves George) and anything Farm related, like Click Clack Moo and Little Blue Truck. I love how even when we read the same book that we’ve read a hundred times, Adam still notices something new and asksContinue reading “Bedtime”

We had a three day weekend for Labor Day and decided to drive to the beach for a night.  While the Philippines has many beautiful beaches on islands but we haven’t had much luck with beaches within driving distance of Manila.  But with Monday off and this place Stilts recommended to us we headed offContinue reading “Stilts”

I really feel like these monthly updates happen every week! Time goes by so fast. But that being said from last month to this month Malcolm has changed SO MUCH!   The biggest change is Malcolm is officially a mover.  I guess technically a crawler but it’s more of an upper body dragging, army crawlContinue reading “On the Move!”

After much discussion we decided to move Adam into the Embassy preschool.  They follow the Montessori model, his good friends (Tyler, Victoria and Noah) also go there, it’s close to our office so we all get to drive in together (and listen to lots and lots Curious George on tape) and he’s on Embassy groundsContinue reading “New School”

A smorgasbord of pictures of the past couple weeks.  Mostly Iphone pictures, so don’t expect anything fancy.  1. Lots of book reading.  Oh wait, that’s Adam, here’s Malcolm!  2. Celebrating our wonderful nephew/cousin Roman’s fifth birthday beautiful niece Isla’s second birthday from afar but with lots of love! 3. Passing time in traffic during theContinue reading “Smorgasbord”

I read this recently and it made me so sad and reminded me to enjoy every cuddle, middle of the night wakening, fight over going poo in the potty, negotiation at bedtime, 5:30 wakeups and everything else that we take for granted. I see with Adam how quickly times passes and how fast he’s becomingContinue reading “The Last Time”
