Dancing Queen's Dance Concert

What a way to cap the summer --- DD's dance concert at the Cultural Center of the Philippines was a blast, praise God!  She danced three dances, two in classical ballet, and one in jazz (my bad, I failed to take photos of Dancing Queen wearing her other two costumes), and wowed the family, who we invited to watch along with us.  It was a good, 3-hour show, but all worth it for a great performance from all the students of STEPS Dance Studio.   Here are some photos...

Dancing Queen's Package

Our DD is very excited!  Her little package from her English friend, Megan has arrived!   

   I admire these two girls for writing and sending out letters to each other...  In this day of techie gadgets, social networking,  and computer stuff, they managed to do it the "old but charming way!"

Mother's Day 2013

 

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs...

since the payment is pure love.

My Finals in ASL

I studied American Sign Language, and finally finished and passed the course.  I am passionate about helping the deaf and mute in communities, and hope to be a blessing to these people someday.  :)

In the sweetness of friendship

let there be laughter,

for in the dew of little things

the heart finds its morning

and is refreshed.

Couples Night-Out

Our DS's section night-out for couples at the home of a co-parent and friend.  :) What a great way to unwind and bond with new friends...

DD's Gr. 4 RAD Exam

seem to have more brains in their feet

DH's Birthday

It's DH's many happy returns of the day!

 

May God's blessings abound to you
In every little way
May you taste and see His goodness
Every time you kneel to pray
May your day be brightened more
With your Father's loving touch
And may you sense He's with you now
And loves you very much.
