Come join us in our nesting place.

On Valentine’s Day, everyone in the house received a note made out of a recycled bond paper with a message saying I-love-you written in red pentel pen.

My firstborn, who’s also my date on Valentine’s, made these notes. When asked why, he replied with a resounding “because it’s Valentine’s Day today!” So sweet of him. Really. And I’m totally touched (even if I constantly receive Iloveyou notes from him.

BTW, there’s also one note for Nanay and Tatay but I couldn’t find it na. And then there’s one for my sister’s friend (and our neighbor), which I believe my son has a crush on. Lol.

Soon we’ll add another warm body in our family photo. *smiles* smiles*

BTW, the things in this photo are some of my son Matt’s school work/projects. =)

Tomorrow is my son’s birthday. Oh, how time flies! He’s now 3 years old.

I’m We are so very blessed to have him in our lives.  He - who bring so much joy in our hearts. May he grow up to be a good Christian.

I’m thankful for his good health. He’s still under medication (because of his asthma) but I can see his improvement. I have faith that time will come he will no longer need those medicines.

I’m so glad for the gift of motherhood. Sometimes, I just cannot believe how motherhood has changed me. Everyday, every minute is a roller coaster ride. But it’s a learning and fun ride as well.

Also, my sister who works in Japan is currently spending her vacation with us. It’s just so good to see her again -after 3 years. And it’s great that we are able to meet her fiance, and that her fiance is a Christian. I pray that God will guide them in their relationship.

And I almost forgot… I thank God for having the resources to throw my son a kiddie party on Saturday. May he and his guests enjoy the party.

God has really been so good to my family. When I look back at the hard times that we’ve been through (or when I hear my parents reminisce the past), I always feel more than grateful to God. I owe God a lot. We owe God a lot. And it’s such a shame that sometimes I go off the “good track.”

But.

I’m thankful for the chance to retrace my steps –again and again– back to God.

I’m thankful for a loving God who never lets me go.

I’m thankful for God’s provision and also, for these cool gifts I received a couple of days ago.

Last but not the least, I am thankful for the rich life (not so much in material sense) He has blessed my mother -who celebrated her birthday last Tuesday. She’s always been our anchor and I pray for good health and more years for her to serve the Lord. My father and sister will also be celebrating their birthdays few days from now –thank you Lord for the wonderful years that had gone by and for the years that are yet to come.

Today, I’m thankful for the blessing God has showered on us.

I’m thankful that I found the perfect wardrobe cabinet for us. The old one was too easy for him that he kept on doing this…

Also, I had to change cabinet because my son is growing up so fast and so are his clothes (the size at least, but not the number).

I’m thankful that despite the news of rice shortage in this country, we still have rice during mealtimes.

I’m thankful that after a long 15-hour flight, Houston arrived safely in his training base (at least for the next 3 weeks).

I’m missing him big time can you tell that I’m trying not to get so emo now especially since I couldn’t call him anytime that I want to but I’m thankful for technology that enables me to send SMS to him; and he to me.

I’m thankful that when I ask my son to pray, he can say “The Name Of The Father, The Son, the Holy Spirit, Amen.” His sign of the cross needs improvement though. :-)

You know that your kid is spending to much time with their grandparent/s when they tell you:

Mama, sing -please - From Russia (With Love).
