A Weekend in Daddy's Hometown

A few weeks ago we went home to Daddy Mike's hometown-Calapan, Mindoro- to visit the oldies and to spend some time with balikbayan relatives from the US. It was just an overnight stay but the kids had so much fun bonding and catching up on each others' whereabouts. These are Gabbie and Rafa's Tita Kate and Tito Sid. Yea, tito and tita because they are daddy's cousins. Tita Kate is a few months older than Gabbie and Sid will be her Ninong probably on her confirmation.

The kids had soooo much fun playing together that even in their sleep, they were inseparable (until Gabbie started dreaming and Kate started kicking) and during the travel back to Manila, they were all seated at the backseat (which rarely happens to my kids).

Last Saturday, after their 3-week vacation, the balikbayan family flew back home and as expected, saying goodbye was not very easy.

Oh well, at least they'll have time to miss each other and when they come back in 2 or 3 years, they will again have a lot of catching up to do.
