Catching up

The kids are growing so fast. My camera can't keep up. I try to take things day by day but my camera pulls me back and let's me look at yesterday. Well, it feels like yesterday but the pictures are dated well past.

My days are long but it goes by so fast. There's so much to do in a day that sometimes I don't relax with my kids and just enjoy the time with them. I think they need to teach me how to be a kid again. I don't want to miss they're childhood. But it's going by like a click on a camera.

Lincolns 9th birthday

It was a small birthday party for Lincoln but he enjoyed himself. We took him to Dave and Busters for lunch and he pretty much spent all his money on one game. He even asked the person he was playing with to slide his card on his side. And that person did!! Thanks. He got all lot of talking too though. Lincoln picked a sushi bar to eat dinner but we ended up going without him. He rather stick with his friends than come home so we left. It was a very emotional day, good and not so good. He is a "tween" now so I need to understand that he will test more boundaries. It's hard for me to let him make decisions that I know are not so well thought out. I am here to guide him. That thought keeps on going through my mind. Sigh. Happy Birthday my tweener son. Love you.

I'll try this again

How time flies... It's been too long but surely it has been a very satisfying journey. We moved, a while ago, but still in the settling stages on the house. I think I moved the furniture downstairs 5 times and still not quite homey. Upstairs is quite cozy though. No pictures. Just an update. Maybe soon if I keep this up. My children. Sigh. A very long sighhhhhh. Love em. I am doing this blog to hopefully show them how unique they are. Their journeys and accomplishments are meant to be recapped in detailed journals. As years go by, I hope this blog will take them back as it was yesterday and also see how much they have touched my life with their love and laughter, happy and not so happy times. As in every parent, my love for them will never dissipate, but grow from both our experiences through journey. Liya, my 2 year old, is on my lap trying to get comfortable as she tries to wake up from a very long nap. Her arms around my shoulders comforts me as I try to type. She is fighting a cold so she persists to be nursed quite often. Lincoln went to soccer practice with dad and Alexa. Its a quiet house right now. I should've went with them.

Did the Nike run

We left the house at 5 in the morning to meet a little traffic in the parking lot. The run took us about 15 minutes and it was perfect for the kids. Lincoln actually ran a little and so did the rest of us (to catch up to him and his friend). It was kind of hard for me cause I had baby Liya strapped to me in a Bjorn. The day ended with us going to the mall for some Jamba Juice and brunch. We hope to do the run again next year.

Outside

Lets for a walk mommy. Okay baby girl but only for a little while.

For ten minutes, Alexa wondered off, examined what looks like a pile of something, and made friends with a light post. For a two year old, ten minutes outside can seem like a long time. She made use of those precious time and I was lucky to get them with a camera.

Baby girl, sister is inside the house, let's go home. Okay mommy.





It was a beautiful day. Captured a moment of morning bliss.

My first day!

My 3 sweet peas!! Well, their feet that is. From smallest to biggest - Liya (3 months), Alexa (2), and Lincoln (7). I took this picture about a month ago.
