Mama Toti

Yay!!! Mama Toti has arrived!
and with gifts!
She bought you a First President hat and t-shirt along with a cool Air Force One plush toy plane. 
Dream Big Little One!
You can become whatever it is that you want to be.  
How lucky are we that our best family friend came to visit us.
Mama Toti, Lola, Mom and Philip went downtown to check out the Atlanta Aquarium.
We watched all the little fishes swim 
with the BIG fish
Of course we took some time to play
and eat
We gathered ourselves together and walked around for a few more hours.
I am not sure if you tell what you were looking at but you seemed to enjoy yourself.
It was a great experience for everyone!
You loved watching the penguins swim around in the water.
A long day but totally worth it
Thankful for our Mama Toti
We had a great time laughing and making new memories.
Come visit us again!

Philip's Baptism

Our little prince was baptized today in the Adoration Chapel at Saint Brigid Catholic Church in Johns Creek.
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon celebrating our blessing.
Philip wore the 3-layer gown that I was baptized in 33 years ago.
He did such a wonderful job during the ceremony and didn't shed a tear when the holy water was poured on his head.
Proud parents of the newest Christian.
Sweet smiles when we are together.
Thankful for everyone that was there to witness our Pangga be baptized. 
We love our Mama Tita who travelled from DC to visit us.
These little cousins are all growing up way too fast. 
 Lola is happy as can be watching her little girl with her own baby.
Trying to preserve all the memories of our baby boy growing up.
Yummy treats from Lola, TeeTah and Chooch. Great job on the P cookies!
 TeeTah with her 6th grandchild!
For this child I have prayed
and the Lord has granted
me what I asked of him.

5 months

It was a very busy month for our little family. Here are a few of the highlights from this month.
Playtime with Dada
This month Philip started vegetables. We started with Sweet Potatoes, then carrots followed by Squash. 
Mom continued to perfect the selfie with a wiggle baby in her arms.
Callie took every chance she could get to snuggle with one of us. 
This little boy has stolen our hearts.
So thankful for ACRM who helped us with our little miracle.

Who would have thought our favorite time as a family was Philip's bath time. 
Little Philip keeps us smiling with his emoji faces
We had a special night eating Maryland Blue crabs with Tim at Lolo and Lola's house. 
Intense adult conversations for all
including reminiscing our time together in Jamaica 4 years ago. 
while Philip splashed around in his make shift tub.
Pangga is starting to change.
His legs are getting rolls, his clothing is getting tighter and he is slowly unclenching (is that event a word?) his hands.
He is more aware of his surroundings, especially his puppy Callie.
He always looks at the camera and gives us those sweet smiles.
Weekend mornings are spent entertaining our Sir Philip
Afternoons we sweet talk Philip into eating peas.
While evenings are spent enjoying the remaining summer days.
Thankful for this life of mine.
