Writing Again

I seem to have developed a trend in my blog.  I rest for a few months from writing and go at it again when I feel like it.  My hiatus usually lasts from 2 months to a year.  So, whats new?

Gabrielle, or Gabby  for short, just turned one year old last March 5.  Gabby may have been unplanned because Edwin and I have already decided after Jianna not to have another baby.  But God sprung a miracle on us last year and after going through the basic motions of infancy, is now a healthy, albeit quiet strong willed, tot.  Her yaya, Gagang, calls Gabby her "Mutya" from the ABS-CBN fantaserye.  Gabby is adorable when shes not hungry or wanting to go out.  She was used to Grace bringing her outdoors even at 6am in the morning that when she does not get her morning "laag", beware!

Leilalia harvested K1's medals and more last March 26, 2011.  Edwin and I were proudly surprised when her name was called after the teacher caught her breath from enumerating all her medals.  Of course, the proud Lola announced that Ate got her brains from her.  No contest or else.

Jianna may have not gotten a medal that day but she got 3 ribbons that also made us very proud.  Jianna has improved so much since starting school last September that her finishing the school year even without any ribbon would have been okay with us .  The therapy helped her but the socialization and love of teachers at the Mindanao Christ Gospel Academy was even better than any therapy.
