It’s been more than a month since we saw each other, they were here when Noel and Lanette arrived from the USA. That was more than a month ago.
Yesterday we had our Christmas lunch. We forgot to take pictures except for the two shots I took during our meal prayers. Then I also took pictures of Nissa’s gifts to me.
See how serious Nate was in praying.Nissa led the prayers. Thanksgiving for all the blessings in our lives and being together again.The various gifts that Nissa gave me, a set of bedsheets, table runner, table cloth and some items from Marks and Spencer. I have a new umbrella too. How nice!
It was a simple celebration but we enjoyed a few laughs when Nate opened his gifts.
I am saving photos of Nate here during their first communion last Friday. He is growing so tall for his age.
He is only nine years old but he looks like a grown-up.With his dad and mom.He was one of the readers during the mass. CONGRATULATIONS NATE🙂 So proud of you.
So proud of this little guy (not so little anymore), he is now almost as tall as I am.
Nissa just forwarded a copy of Nate’s grades for their third grading period. Everything went up despite that most of the time he is unsupervised because Obet and Nissa are now reporting for work in some days of the week. My gosh, Science subject and Math are almost perfect at 99 % each. They are still online every day. I think he is more knowledgeable about his tab than I am about mine 😘
They came here yesterday to celebrate New Year with us.
After lunch, Nate said, “can we go out at the garden Nonna?”
I asked him why and he added, “I want to pick kalamansi”. That’s Philippine lime.
I told him they are still so small so I showed our two jackfruits.
“Can we play instead?” . Then he began making faces and his signature sign which is thumbs up. He has grown so tall and a little more chubby since the last time they stayed here March last year. I took some photos of course..
It is always a thrill having Nate around. When will we see each other again?
Yes, it was his 9th birthday yesterday but they celebrated early last Sunday because of his online classes. We had a video chat for a while yesterday then I sent him an audio greeting.
Here are some of his birthday photos:
Did you notice how he has grown? Look at those long legs.Goofing around again. He is just a happy boy.Look at how he acts around his dad.I gave him a set of Dinosaur toys together with a book on Dinosaurs. Nissa says he loves them.
Time flies! Was it only yeterday that I made my first letter to you!
Back in the last week of March, my son-in-law Obet and Nate stayed with us for four days while Nissa was in the hospital, she was found positive of Covid and was confined for a week.
I took advantage of the days he was here, taking photos, watching him attend his online class, singing and whistling and playing with his toys.
Haha, playing with his toy guns after his morning class.
Can’t do without his tab.
Weird…haha
I used both of these photos as screen savers on my phone and tab.
I am a proud Nonna to our darling baby Nate, my first grandchild. I created this blog to share my journey with him. You are welcome to visit me at my main blog here at WordPress called Dreams and Escapes.
I love photography and this would be a perfect opportunity to take all those shots. Memories after all are something to be cherished, right?
They come in droves And I always wonder Most of us are probably feeling low And sick at heart. Older ones come in wheelchairs Wearing sweaters down to their socks. Sometimes I feel that despite everything I am blessed that I could still walk dine at my favorite place And enjoy the breeze touching my […]
When I was done with my check-up yesterday,(that’s waiting for a few hours to be seen by the ENT for five minutes), I dropped by David’s Salon to have my hair trimmed. I let my hair grow for a few months and it went wild this way and that. My health is my priority. Going […]
Frustration to the max. Elizabeth who I follow and follows me back has just posted a new one. Pete gave me her URL because it seems I am no longer following her so I clicked follow and tried commenting, upon submission there’s nothing there, NADA. My password is saved so I don’t need to log […]
Check up again. Waiting for my ENT to arrive at 10:00am. Been here since before 7am because I have to wait at the ground floor of the mall until 8 am with all the arriving patients of The Medical City Clinic. Better be early so my medical insurance would be approved early too. Never mind […]
A good friend and a neighbor messaged me yesterday and asked if I have already submitted the new data form for senior citizens. She gave me a link and asked me if I could drop by our village’s senior citizens building and get a form to fill up. When I reached the place, there were […]
