Our First Xmas Party with Pinoys

These pictures were taken when we attended the Christmas party of the Filipino-American in West Virginia 2 years ago (2006). All the Filipinos who live there always have a monthly get together, where in, they say the rosary and eat Filipino foods afterwards. And then during Christmas, they assemble for a big celebration with lechon baboy (roasted pig) and many Filipino delicacies.Rylie was a socialite that night hehehe, she was dancing in the dance floor. I am glad that my daughter didn't get my shyness. She is very outgoing like her Dad. I miss those gatherings coz over here they don't have roasaries and stuff. They have parties once in a while but not like in Country Road..

I miss Pap!

My daughter woke up the other day saying "I'm missing Pap Mom". My heart was crushed, i know that my daughter is so close to her grand father but there's nothing else we can do but to wait till we go back to mainland again. Rylie, misses everything that her and Dad does together when we're still there like putting dishes in the dishwasher, cleaning the floor, sweeping the leaves from the yard and so many more. Poor little girl! Here's Papa and Rylie doing the dishes together. Everytime we call him, he always mention that he misses his love grand daughter whom he calls "baby doll" or princess. This was taken December 2006 in my father in law's house. We miss you terribly Dad Pooch!

different smiles of a year milestone

This photos were taken when our daughter Rylie turned one. She wasn't shy in the camera at all hehehe.. I am glad that we have all these memories captured especially that she is growing so fast. when I look at her now, I miss when she was just starting to coo....

Isn't it cute when they only have two pairs of teeth lol...

Our Condolences

This picture was taken last year at my close friend Raquel's house. Her father passed away yesterday, we are very sorry for your loss Racq! May your father's soul rest in peace. I know how hard it is to be in your situation, being so far from home and losing somebody is terrible. I've been in that situation but still feel the pain of losing my father. Our deep condolences Manay!

cute little doggies

My boss brought us her two cute little puppies last week and we had fun playing with them. My daughter just love 'em. Aren't they cute? The female is so outgoing and the male is kinda reserve and bash. They have pretty names too but I forgot hahaha...
