Just wanted to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! I have two special ladies to greet and they do so much for me.

Bubba Tey

Besides doing everything imaginable under the sun to keep the family going, I’ll highlight one thing. Without Tey, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing today….something that I enjoy and love. She convinced me that I was good enough to be a photographer even though I was scared of doing so. And for that, I love you.

Nathan with Tey.

Mom, Ms. Veekee

I see my mom almost everyday. When I think about that, I feel blessed. Just like Tey, Mom has always been there for me through the ups and downs. And without my mom helping with the boys, Tey and I would not be able to have the crazy schedule that we do. The unconditional love is always there and she shows the same to our little boys. And for that, I love you.

Mom with Lucas

Not too much going on in the home front lately. The boys are just doing their usual thing. Nathan’s getting bigger but still not talking. On the other hand, Lucas is talking too much! My brother, JB, and his family are visiting from the Philippines, so we’ve been hanging out at Mom’s quite a bit lately. It’s been fun seeing Lucas and Nathan interacting with their older cousin, Tristan. Natey loves him and they are cute together. But of course, Lucas is a bit unpredictable with Tristan. One minute they are playing together like best friends, then one second later, someone’s crying up a storm. So, in other words, nothing’s changed.

Some news from Tey. She’s decided to start blogging! Check out her ramblings over at: www.teygarcia.com And I say ramblings in the loving, non-mocking way :) She says she is planning on writing about all types of things that is going on with her including but not limited to family, cooking, quilting, travels, photography, etc. She’s getting back into quilting after buying her new badass sewing machine (Bernina Aurora 430). This brand is supposed to be the Ferrari of sewing machines;I didn’t know these suckers can cost so much! But I’m glad to see her spoil herself for once. I know I partake in the occasional gadget purchase or two :) (As I write, I’m already dreaming of my future guitar…mmmmmmm, Martin)

Here’s a few pics from last week. Nothing more peaceful than a sleeping baby…

Have a great weekend!!

It’s time for a Nathan update. He’s now 16 months! As expected, he still doesn’t wanna talk just like his older brother who didn’t speak until he was 2.5! But, of course, he already knows what he wants and tries to communicate in his own little way. A bit frustrating at times, but we manage to get by. We need some of that baby sign language! Other than that, he is growing to be an active little boy. Already, he’s quite the runner even though his balance is still not there for the most part. So, we still witness the occasional face plant here and there. And we can’t leave any stools or ladders around…it’s an automatic climbing session for him.

It’s still a love/hate relationship with his big brother. Love for the most part, but the cries come out once in a while when they don’t want to share…what’s new!? He really loves laughing with Lucas and we catch them laughing at each other for no reason at all. It’s cute.

Here are some recent ones our little big boy when he visited me at the office yesterday:

Happy belated Easter to all! I hope everyone had a great time with friends and family. We had a great weekend with the boys, which included the usual Easter egg hunt festivities. But this post, is about this photo of Lucas that is my recent favorite. He was playing around with the balloons and I got this shot of him. It’s just pure Lucas. I just ordered a big canvas of it and can’t wait to hang it up! Here is my Big Boy on Easter!

We’ve been back for 3 weeks now and wedding season starting to get crazy busy! It’s been great to get back to our regular schedule with the little dudes. We’ve been trying to take advantage of our newly acquired Disney season passes and took them again last week. I’m new to all this Disney activity, so it’s kinda cool for me. I rode on Dumbo for the first time! I know…it’s a kiddie ride, but it was cool going with Lucas. He’s super into Disneyland now so it’s fun watching him go nuts.

Everyone is sick right now, so it’s been a bit tough for the boys. So clogged and unable to sleep peacefully. I remember when colds lasted a week, now they are going on 4 weeks!! Hopefully the dudes feel better really soon.

Nathan is now eating solid foods, so he wanted to show you what he eats:

Happy Friday!!!
