Tinsley bear

Our baby love in her happy moments. Believe me, she is also usually grumpy (especially when in teething pain) and a cry baby as well (she doesn't ever want me to leave her!)

 

 

 

School days

Tonicci loves going to school and is a very happy boy whenever I pick him up from the bus. Below is his class picture (notice his smile haha) and one time we baked after school.

Donations

With the help of relatives, friends and the class of Tonicci, we were able to ship out 8 boxes for the Yolanda victims. Such a little amount of help I know, but its better than doing nothing.

First solids

And she is starting solids!! How time flies! Started her with cereal at 4 months and now that she is 6 months, I am pureeing vegetables and fruits for her. All for my precious love.

kisses from daddy are the best!

 

she loves avocados

Santa parade

We missed the Santa parade in downtown so when I saw on the news that there is a Santa parade at the Beaches (where we live), I asked Jet to take Tonicci so he can see Santa! Since the weather was freezing that day ( and most days!), Tinlsey and I decided to just stay home. It has been an annual thing for Tonicci to watch this particular parade and good thing we were still able to keep it up for him this year!

Weekends are family days

We look forward to weekends where we can all be together longer. Weekdays are often  rushed- we have routines and are always on the clock! Bedtime for Tonicci is at 7 and we try to be in bed by 10 (since Tinsley still wakes up in the middle of the night).

Saturdays and Sundays are still chore days. With a few moments to relax, we try to squeeze in bonding moments like cuddling in bed, reading books, surfing the internet, talking and playing sillies. Now that its Winter, we find ourselves wanting to stay indoors more. Except when there are parties to attend and groceries to do! 

Christmas Tree

It was tempting to buy a bigger Christmas tree since we have more space now compared to our condo  but the ever frugal Jet gave me a reality check saying that we don't really need one. And he is right! Because we are saving money for our trip to Lego land this February, I closed my eyes and resisted the urge, even if the stores were lined up with SALE trees and beautiful decors!

 

While Tonicci was in school, I decorated our small but sentimental tree and when he got home, I let him put the star at the very top. I also took out our Nativity set (given by my mom). They say that more than the Christmas tree, its important that you have the Nativity which symbolizes the birth of Christ.
