Euen's Eleventh Month

Euen's eleventh month was spent on the beach! Second time to travel and ride the airplane, my sisters and our family went to Boracay as an advanced birthday treat to Kuya Ikoy.  This was planned months ago and it's a plus that Ate and Tita went with us.

It was no surprise that the baby enjoyed the beach.  And to spare us from buying a cake, we just stuck the candles on the white sand, making the whole beach, Euen's monthsary cake.

Not so Merry Christmas

Euen's first Christmas was not so merry.   First, Shashing caught dengue and was hospitalized a week before Christmas.  Good thing, she was discharged on the 23rd.  But on the eve of Christmas, Lolo was rushed to the ER.  He was having a hard time breathing.

Good thing it wasn't pneumonia, he was on the ICU for a few days to be closely monitored then, was discharged before the New Year.   So, we had noche buena and media noche on the eve of January 1.

Eventhough it wasn't a merry Christmas, 2012 was a year full of blessings.  And the best gift was already given to us earlier this year.
