February

Happy birthday Raf!  Twelve years had gone by so fast, that’s twelve years of motherhood too.  Found this set of photos in his DSi memory card dated June 2009.  I love this boy.

You&Me
Halfway through February… and here’s what we have been up to:

– Tennis session every Sunday.  Riel and I play while the boys are taking their lessons.  They started tennis in October last year.

-Marco won the second place in the city’s winter festival button design contest.  We’re so proud of him.

Marco’s full name is actually Victor Emmanuel.  He is called Marco in school.  How did it become Marco?  I twisted the letters and kinda forced it just because I love the name Marco.

Anticipating the event to start.
Full house
First time to join, second place!
So proud of you!  He gave me his 25$ gift card to an art supply store.  He said I can have it.

Three days ago I turned a year older.  Thank you Jojie and Mon for the cake and for dropping by.  Jojie, thank you for your gift.  I felt special.  I was so touched.

And for Feb 14, we had pasta and lamb for dinner.  We were watching Bourdain’s No Reservation episode of Rome and they featured this pasta recipe called cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper).  While it’s too peppery for my taste, the boys loved it.
