Max's Baptism, July 2013

We baptized Max in Virginia at the beginning of July. We were very lucky that my Tita Cita happened to be visiting NYC from Manila. Not only was she able to watch Jose's show, but she made her way to Virginia from NYC for Max's baptism. Of course, Mom outdid herself again with the amazing feast that she prepared. And Adrian's mom was also present. Our kids are very lucky to have such amazing relatives. Reverend Knapp performed the baptism. He not only performed Veronica's baptism in 2010, but he also married us at our wedding. Here are a few photos from the baptism (click on any photo to enlarge).

One of Max's favorite things is to point out the 'cars' outside.

En Ka Fair, May 2013

I almost forgot to blog about the En Ka Fair, which happened last May. It is an annual 2-day fair with lots of rides for little kids and big kids. Veronica has enjoyed it more with each passing year as she gets taller and can ride more of the rides. Luckily, there are a lot of rides for little kids. Here is a sampling of some of the photos we took.

So excited about the En Ka Fair!

Max says, "I'm going to ride so many rides next year!"

Special occasions call for ice cream!

We all rode the Ferris wheel together. I'm very afraid of heights so it was pretty scary for me!

I am gripping that bar VERY tightly and only let go to snap that photo above with Veronica.

Town Day, June 2013

Better late than never! I finally got around to downloading some photos from my camera. Here are a few from Winchester Town Day (June 2013). The weather was a bit on the warm side, but the kids had a great time anyway! They even had a few water features set up on the Town Common to help cool folks off.

Proud of her medal

Probably more proud of her butterfly face painting! (Even though she can't remember what side it's on!)
