another year has passed and i have to do another review of the year went by, which is 2011.
it was a good year for us, a very good one in fact. if i can ask God if He can pattern the following years to 2011, i would. there were challenges and problems of course but nothing major nor serious as what 2010 had given us. the whole family (except for inigo during the last quarter of the year as he was confined because of pneumonia) was healthy. we were also good financially. we traveled a lot. and best of all jude and i fortified our marriage by attending a marriage encounter seminar. we were also happy parents as both inigo and theo were growing up well.
we had three major trips and traveled to three countries and one local destination last year. one of these trips was unplanned but God probably really wanted us to be complete when inigo celebrates his fifth birthday so he gave jude a surprise bonus which covers our expenses. this was in malaysia where jude went for a business trip last july and we--moi, inigo, and theo--followed. since singapore was only a hundred or more kilometers away we decided to see for the first time this country.
prior to malaysia and singapore, we've also flown to hongkong last february.

lastly, we went to the island of camiguin for our sixth wedding anniversary last october. it was a grand vacation (we did nothing but sleep and swim in the island!) except for the 'grand' travel we did going there and back to manila--oh boy, it was tedious!
it's also in 2011 when we started some family activities like kite-flying and fishing. jude was complaining that we're spending too much time in the malls every weekend so we thought of activities which we can all do together but the kids, especially inigo, will also enjoy.
we also did few day trips to nasugbu batangas...
we're also happy and grateful that the kids accomplished many things and reached important milestones in 2011. inigo was able to overcome his fears and learned to ditch the diaper when doing #2. he also learned to swim and be more aggresive in playing soccer. while theo was able to catch up with his milestones and now amazes us with his skills and expanded vocabulary.
but what we're so happy about is we're able to give more time for our faith and serve God in 2011. it was truly a blessing for us since we felt that our marriage has another purpose aside from raising our kids, and we hope that this will continue until we grow old. amen.
