I Could Smell Summer Break

-
Today is the last day of tests for our high school boy. Our youngest is graduating from preschool this Saturday. Eldest son is at the tail end of his third term in uni. And then, vacation promptly follows.

This summer, high school son will join his batch mates in an immersion trip to Xiamen and will be away for two months. That practically means the whole summer break (April-May). It also means no family trip for us, unless we want to proceed with one member lacking. :)

Although schedules are tight or conflicting for all of us, we will find a way to spend quality time as a family with or without planned trips.

Meanwhile, here are some shots from a beach trip we had last January where we were all complete...

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions.
