I Really Really Miss My Boys!

It has been three months since I last saw my two boys, and it will take another two months before I see them again. Even though I voice chat & webcam with them everyday, it's still not the same as being there and holding them. :(

Everyday my mom updates me about how the kids are and what they've been up to for the day, but I still feel like I'm missing out on so much by being away from them. I'm very thankful that my mom and my dad are there to take very good care of the boys. At least, I have peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.

Every Sunday, my parents like to take their grandkids to places where they can go on kiddie rides and run around in playgrounds. The kids seem to be enjoying it so much and they look forward to it every week. 

Looks like my mom and dad are having fun as well. Second childhood, perhaps? 

Before I left Zamboanga, I was worried about leaving the kids behind because they are really quite a handful, especially the little one who can be very, very clingy. But I can see now that my mom has been very patient and she's been doing a great job with both Kaden and Carlos. For that, I am grateful everyday. Thanks mom, I really don't know what I'd do without you. Even my friends have been telling me how lucky I am that my mom is so devoted to taking care of my kids. I feel so blessed! Believe me, looking after my two boys is NOT an easy task. 

I'm also lucky that my mom has the patience to take pictures and document moments that I'm missing, and I can say with delight that she has been very prompt to upload these pictures on facebook! Art & I are always looking forward to seeing new pictures of the kids. 

"Family pictures" of my mom, dad and the two boys. They could still be mistaken as parents instead of grandparents, don't you think?

I love this picture of my boys looking at the calendar. According to my mom, Kaden is explaining to his little brother how many more days it will take before mommy arrives. I'm so touched that just like me, my boys are counting the days until I get home! 

I miss Zamboanga!
