We Love the Beach

My in-laws make a trip to the beach every year, and for the past 2 years, Eidan and I have tagged along. The hubby is usually busy working so he doesn't get to go. For this year, 4th of July holiday, was spent in Padre Island beach. It's been so hot here in Texas, it was definitely a welcome relief to get in the ocean and cool off.

And then, one weekend, my husband said he had to go to Corpus Christi for work, so Eidan and I decided to tag along with him. We finally got to go to the beach as a family. We drove from Corpus Christi to Port Aransas, got on a 2 minute ferry ride, then headed to Mustang Island beach.

I've been living here for almost 10 years now, and while there are so many wonderful beaches here in Texas, my heart still belongs to the lovely beaches of the Philippines!

Summer is here!

 

 

It's been a month and a day since I last posted. Travelling work is taking its toll on my extra curricular activities, not to mention all the house work I need to catch up on!

 

One thing I've made sure of though, is that my husband and I Skype whenever I am away. This way, I see my little man and he can be reassured Mommy is still within reach and will be home soon. Although I think Dad and son have a blast when I'm gone!

 

 

The past month has seen San Antonio slowly creeping up the heat scale. Because of this, playing out in the sun and water have been our thing to do the past few weekends. My husband, telling me he was going through a midlife crisis, bought an old pre-loved boat. He's been talking about this for a while and finally convinced me to go for it.

Here's a few snapshots of the summer so far. Hope everyone is enjoying Summer 2013!

 

 

He chose his own life vest!

Crib to Toddler bed

Hi there!

 

P.S. this is also the month (at 19months) that Eidan decided to say bye bye to his crib AND he's started telling me he is "poo poo mama". Next thing on the mommy adventure list--- potty training!

 

Snapshots

Work has really kept me busy the past few weeks and I'm travelling more again this year. I really don't want to miss little moments even when I don't have the time to update he blog, so here's a few snapshots of what's been going on with the little guy!

It was more fun to color his arms and legs!
