Jake and The Easter Egg Hunting

This morning, my friend and I together with our boys woke up early today to go to the Easter Egg Hunting here in Heartland community. We went there early because we don't want to be late during the registration. The registration starts at 9am, but the actual games and activities didn't start till 10am, so the boys (Jacob and Aaron) had the chance of playing before the egg hunting begins. They had fun running around chasing each other together with their friends and classmates. They even rolled down the hill! Around 10:15am, the face painter lady arrived and started painting kids faces; good thing we were the fourth on the line. Jake had an Easter egg painted on his face while Aaron had a baseball and cap...they look so cute! After that, they join the games where they did the bear walk, walking backwards, and other. We were surprised they didn't have many games this year. Anyway, the egg hunting begins at 11:35am...and they had a blast though they didn't find the golden egg :-)

Jake and His Grandparents

Well, it has been a busy week for us. My in-laws were here visiting us for four days. Prior to that, I was in so much stress. With all the things going on, it was so hard to clean the house and plan meals that they will love. Yup, they are one of those people who are not a fan of Asian foods, and so I can not cook Filipino or Chinese foods for that matter. Good thing I was able to served them foods that they love like the brussel sprout which my father in-law favorite and some collard greens that they craved. My mother in-law on the other hand loved the braised beef I made; she even asked for a recipe! Indeed, I made their stay enjoyable. I love to see my MIL read to Jacob and my FIL plays with Jacob. It was a treat for Jacob when they come visit us....for he misses them so much! This summer, Jacob will have a chance of visiting my parents and I am so excited. I couldn't wait till it's June so we can fly back to my native land.

Gifts from A Mystery Friend...

Okay, just this morning, we got a package delivered by FedEx; no idea where it came from and who sent it to us. It was a gift for my son's birthday last month....clothes which my son loves because it was toy story shirts and short, and polo shirts. As I think about it, I have a strong feeling who sent us the package...she probably wants to remain anonymous...and so even though am sure now who that sweet, generous and thoughtful friend is...will not mention her name here. Thank you so much dear....you didn't have to do that, but we are grateful for the act of kindness and love. Here are the photos of the gifts she sent my son...

I was right, the friend who sent the gift is also a friend of many....she's no other than, Tsang Sheila of Simple Happy Life. Once again, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Thanks again dear, muaaah
