El Porche

Dear ones,

We’re in Pennsylvania visiting my grandfather – ‘Lolo’ (Tagalog for grandfather). Kinsley isn’t taking too well to sleeping in a new place by himself, so this will be a short post!

Life has been full and challenging lately and we are spent.  The last-minute decision to come here and the provisions making it possible for us to come gives us a change more beneficial to us than we realized at first. I think we may even have a chance to update you more in the next couple days.

But for now, here is the first picture we took in December – tonight having dinner with my mom and Lolo. Kinsley was so happy to see Lola (Tagalog for grandmother) again! (and vice versa)

Among the many things we are thankful for:

Bright sunshine mornings

Family members who love us.

Old friends

New friends

Oranges

Healthy food

Leisurely walks

Acorns

Kinsley loves acorns, searching among the leaves, picking up all the ones that are just the way he likes them – without tops, whole and smooth.  Today had a lovely dinner with my parents, an old family friend Dan Vogt, Paul, and a new friend we met through the North Park art show, David Nadalin. Later in the afternoon we took a walk and Kinsley filled his pockets with acorns.
