Dana's Graduation Day and Dylan's Birthday

18 March 2016

Today marks the end of Dana's elementary school life.  I can't believe that time has flown so quickly that Dana is now finished with elementary and will now be embarking on her High School journey.  Still, this is a milestone in our family's life and we're just so proud of her for making it this far.  Congratulations Dana! :)

On another note, today is also Dylan's birthday so it's a double celebration for our family! :)  Happy birthday Dylan!

Kids: Dylan's Graduation Celebration

March 21, 2013

After the Graduation Ceremony at San Beda College, we all trooped to Mall of Asia for Dylan's celebration. We first had lunch at Masuki, one of our favorite noodle houses.  We had our usual orders of Chicken Mami, Beef Wanton Mami and Siopao.  They have hefty servings so you end up really full! Just look at the size of the siopao and it's not just air :)






After a very filling lunch, we had to burn off all that energy and those calories :)  We went to TimeZone!







Though it may seem a simple celebration, what's important is that we were together and the kids were happy :)

Kids: Dylan's Graduation 2013

March 21, 2013

Today is the culmination of Dylan's 3-year stint in preschool.  It's such a milestone in our lives since he has a learing disability and I'm so proud of him for finishing school despite it.  The ceremony started at 9AM at the San Beda College.  The event was pretty organized except for the parents who kept crowding the stage to take pictures :) But the kids were enthusiastic and excited so there was a very high energy that day!




Take a look at Dylan! I'm so proud of him! We're all so proud of him!! :)




Here are his teachers and Administrators at the Little Sofie Learing and Development Center.

Dylan's Moving Up Day 2012

March 21, 2012

March seems to always be a fun-filled month for all of us.  We've had the kids' birthdays and I'm sure in the succeeding posts you'll be reading about the kids' end-of-school-year activities.  Just like this post, Dylan is at the San Beda University where he'll be celebrating his Moving Up Ceremony.  He's moving up from Kinder to Prep.

I still worry about him though because he doesn't learn as fast as the other kids because of his speech deficiency.  Especially now that they have to know the letters of the alphabet and he still doesn't seem to want to learn.







Here he is getting his certificate of completion from Ms. Shiela Abesamis-Nepomuceno.





Parents also received roses from their children as a way of thanking them for all their hard work and for supporting the kids and the school.



At last, it's vacation time! Here's Dylan wanting to fly off to his next adventure! LOL



Time for a little picture taking with Daddy ...




Dana's 4th Birthday - Day 2

Well, it seems that there's a continuation to Dana's birthday celebration! Not finding suitable graduation shoes for Den at the SM Mall of Asia, we decided to go shopping at the Araneta Center in Cubao the day after. It's a good place to a shop since there are a number of malls - SM, Ali Mall, the new Gateway Mall, Farmer's Plaza and a department store-cum-supermarket combo called Shopwise.

Looks like not too many shoe manufacturers produce white shoes for graduation nowadays. We've been through so many stores, we've lost count before settling with one pair that at least looks comfortable (graduation ceremonies take a long time), priced right and looks good on her :)

After that, we went to a store called the Toy Palace, that's a little out of the way but carries great toys at reasonable prices. The kids' godmother, my old friend Dette, sent some money for the kids. We were able to buy a musical piano, a Mr. Potato Head and a Darth Tater version of Mr. Potato Head :) The kids are into Star Wars, if you want to know :0

Anyway, having expended all that energy, we ended up eating at Charly Brown (we haven't tried it yet) They have great fries and their ramen tastes good!
