Marriage and Beyond

This was taken after the In Awe of a Great God concert that was held in Eastwood, Libis last night. Our worship team from our church in Makati was given the privilege to do the front act.  You can read more on the concert from Ted’s blog. He is the music director and the loving hubs of my sweet sister.

Taken a couple of days back when the hubby saw our son making silly faces while he was drinking his milk from the cup. He loves playing pretend (sad, happy, angry, et.al). This time he was experimenting with frowning while raising his right brow and then the left. It helps that I always have our camera within reach. I wasn’t even able to properly set the camera correctly, I just had to click away.

Our first photo ever as a brand new family via my former SEs700i camphone (May 2005). The little guy was just a few days old.

These succeeding ones are two of our latest family photos. I have not been photo hunting for a while and when the theme got posted this weekend, I knew I just had to do some rummaging. I swear I could have posted more, If I wasn’t a little slack in taking photographs lately.

I couldn’t resist this kind of smile the little guy does. It’s his silly face again. We would tease him that when he does this face, if he doesn’t look like he’s doing number two, he looks like a toddler male “Chichay.” I am so tempted to get a picture of him with this face made into one of those personalized funny t-shirts. I’m sure it’s gonna be fun wearing them!

This is one of the photos my son loves to look at as he remembers the Subic getaway we had with Gina’s family, October of last year. It will be a year since and my boy still remembers vividly details of that trip. We hope to be with them soon.

Another shot of the hubby’s - definitely one of my favorites. You see how he played with the curves of the structure on that simple playground? No photoshop needed for this one, thank you. This is one of his first few shots when our now oldie camera was brand new. There probably were a couple of cat trees behind that slide that he managed to hide without having to displace them.

These two are definitely unstoppable when they do their thing.  They wrestle and go rough like crazy and when they’re at it, there is just no way they would cease, that is until a gentle reminder to the hubby of about five times that it’s almost bed time and the little guy needs to transition to sleep mode - his quiet bunny mode.  All mothers know how hard it is for an overly stimulated child to hit the sack when it’s time. My boys and one of their many fun moments together. 

Another shot of the hubby’s many attempts at photography. He took this while they were aboard, in transit to Palawan. I still have got much to learn in grabbing this kind of compositions. I tend to carelessly snap shots of everything I fancy, not thinking much how aperture and shutter speed should be set for a particular shot. I’m learning even as I would have him critic the shots that I take.

This is the last plant that remains from amongst the six plants I took home from our trip to Baguio last May. And what is so surprising is that this plant is a lemon pine tree. I never knew a pine tree could ever thrive in such humid and tropical climate. Apparently this lemon pine tree wards off mosquitoes. Perfect to have it stand in the corner of our main door.
