Lauren meets Lola
A couple of weeks ago Lauren met her Great-Grandmother, affectionately known as Lola Minyang. "Lola" in Tagalog means Grandma or also can be a term of respect for an elder like an Auntie or Great Aunt.
While we were in town for the funeral of Lola Judy, who unfortunately, Lauren never got to meet, we were able to visit with Lola Minyang, the last surviving grandparent on either side our families. She is a sharp and fiesty 89 years old!

A Long Week
It's been a long, eventful week.
Where shall I start? Well, it all began the middle of last week. Peter came down with either food poisoning or the stomach flu. Because we weren't sure what it was, I packed the baby up and we headed to my mom's house just in case Peter was contagious. It's a good thing we did, because it ended up being the stomach flu. My mom and I actually caught a mild case of it but luckily Lauren did not have any symptoms. Unluckily both Peter and my sister were out of commission for about 4 days and I ended up staying at my mom's for most of that time.
We then had to travel to Los Angeles due to a death in the family. It was a long drive but Lauren did so well in the car. She fussed a little as expected, but for the most part she was such a good girl that we only had to take one break during the 7 hour drive. While we were there, Lauren's not quite 2 year old cousin contracted pneumonia and ended up in the hospital (poor kid...but he's doing much better now, thankfully). To be safe, we had to avoid all contact with him and instead of spending some time with the family, we ended up at a hotel. The only bright spot of the trip was that Lauren got to meet her Great Grandma for the very first time. The drive back seemed even longer just because we were so tired, but Lauren again was a trooper and we stopped only once on the way back so she could stretch her little legs.
Exhausted after a long week...
To top it all off, my mom was in a nasty car accident while we were away (she's ok, but suffered whiplash and has some back pains). Whew, I'm glad this week is almost over!
Grandma's poor car...

Happy Easter
Easter came and went in the blink of an eye. Because we had to travel to Los Angeles in the afternoon, we spent Sunday morning at church and packing our things for the long drive. What was in her Easter basket? Baby snacks, a bunny beanie baby and some chocolate for daddy.
Whaddaya mean I can't eat this chocolate?!Monday, March 17, 2008
I wanna be a Super Hero!
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's.....SUPERCUTE!
She roams the floors for choking hazards, tests plastic toys made in china for lead, and plants slobbery kisses on unsuspecting victims.
She leaps over anything with a single bound (if you carry her)
She scales tall (and short) furniture
Can erase all sadness with one touch
But at the end of the day....
Even Super Heroes need sleep (with her sidekick, T. Bear)
