Happy 2007

It seems like we were celebrating the 06 and we are now in another year. Time went by so fast before our very eyes. Dylan will be 18 months . Not yet two but already showing signs of a handful toddler. Wasn't talking yet but just mumble. A pointer ! Points at eveything he wants. Before he starts walking we were so anxious for him to start walking, then just about 2 weeks after his ist birthday, Dylan start walking and walking since then. Then we said" why can't he just sit still?" Now we are anxious again for him to start talking, then we can't make him stop.

Didn't do much on New Years eve. For one thing I was sick. We just stayed home and watch all the New Years show on tv and off to bed. There is nothing as the celebration of New Years eve in the Philippines. I grow up with loud noises if firecrakers of different sort which people use to welcome the New Year. Seems like every year they have this new kind of firecrakers that are more louded, bigger and extremely dangerous when use uncautiosly. How many times i've seen on tv over there poeple lose their fingers or hands from fireworks accidents and yet they still do it again every year. I guess they will not stop doing that until they lose all their fingers and 2 hands.

There is nothing like all your neighbors come by and visit. Seems like more family to me than anything else. I would like Dylan to experience that kind of culture that is very unique. I always miss celebrating holidays in the country where I was born and raise because there is nothing like that every where I go. I think for most part it is not so materialistic at all. We are very happy to have people around. Nothing fancy but everything so down to earth. I wish one day we can do that. We can take Dylan over there and get to enjoy it as much as I do !

I hope this new year would bring us more wealth in our minds, spirit and soul. More closer as a family and more closer to watch Dylan grow everyday....
