and August…and October is getting busy too. Lol. I kept saying to myself that I wanted to update last month, but never got around to it. So Kaylana walks now, and has progressively gotten better every week. She started walking about the 23rd of August, a little over one week after her birthday! First it was the Frankenstein walk, then only on carpet, then she was okay with floors, and now she is comfortable walking anywhere! She also knows to walk around things instead of try to walk through them. Haha. When she first started walking she would trip on toys and whatever else happened to be on the carpet.
On August 28th, T.J. entered the the temple for the first time to receive his endowment. It was an awesome experience as all of us were able to be there with him since Jubie flew up for that weekend…actually for about 24 hours. I picked her up from the airport Saturday morning and dropped her off at the airport Sunday morning. It was so great to be with my sister again even though I had just seen her a couple weeks before in San Diego!
WELL…on September 2nd Rigo and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary! We had dinner and a movie…Inception was a cool movie…one of those that make you think. I am so grateful for my hard-working husband. He is so considerate and is always helping out in our home. Even though I know he is tired from working all day, he will pick up after Kaylana and take care of her so that I can have a break.
4 years really flew by, especially with Kaylana now. I can’t believe she’s already 13 months old. She went from having 2 teeth last month, to now having 7 teeth! I was wondering why this past week was really tough, she kept waking up and crying at night because of the pain. And then her 4 top teeth came through and one more on the bottom!
We celebrated my Dad’s birthday on September 18th. He is 62 years old and cancer free! Every day we are grateful that he is with us…and Kaylana loves her Lolo (Grandpa in Tagalog). He is the only one that she won’t leave to come to me! I guess I was a Grandpa’s girl as well when I was younger.
On September 26th was T.J.’s farewell. He gave such a great talk. I can’t believe my baby brother is all grown up! He left with my parents to attend General Conference and entered the MTC on October 6th, just a couple days ago! It was not hitting me that my little brother was already leaving for 2 years to serve a mission, until he called me right before entering the MTC…I started crying like a baby! But I am truly happy and excited for him and i know he will be a great missionary. I dreamed of the day that he would enter the temple prior to go on a mission…and now it has come and gone! We are so proud of T.J. for having the desire and being worthy to be a full time missionary for the Lord.
It was my mom’s birthday on Oct. 7th, but since they had just returned from their trip to Utah, we will be celebrating today…so I’m off to pick her up and take her for her birthday present! (I got her a gift card to Sephora and a makeover…even though she doesn’t need it, I want her to feel really great!) So it is back to being busy!
