Quick Update

We've been back in the US for nearly 3 weeks and it's been a LOOONGG time since i updated. So, let me just give a quick update.

We left the Philippines on April 1st and then we flew to Singapore for 4 days. My parents came to see us there and we spent 3 hectic days visiting the Singapore Zoo and a few other touristy sights like the Singapore Flyer and Universal Studio. After that, we said some teary goodbyes to my parents and Cody's yaya(sniff, sniff) and scarily(at least for me) started our long trek back to the US and somehow survived it!!

First week was particularly tough as the kids were sick and NOT eating. Between feeding, shopping, looking for daycare, getting ready to work, cleaning and cooking i was almost immobile from not knowing what to do first!! But it got easier once i accepted the fact, my maids are not around anymore!!! ha!!

I started work at Western Digital as a contractor the following Monday and both the boys were sent to daycare. I was slightly worried about Cody's readiness for daycare but as usual, it's just us adults being over thinking it! They were fine!!! Cody still cries quite a bit when he's being dropped off and picked up(yes, pick up too). But i remember Tyler used to do it at this age. So, might be an age thing.

Alan is still working for the same company and is currently working from home and is taking on lots of the kids related activities like eating, shuttling to daycare and visits to the parks and rec centers. :)

So, i think we've settled in quite well and we're back to our old house, driving our old cars, using our old cell phones, back in our old jobs and hanging out with our old friends!! So, it's just like we never left!! :) Of course, our friends back home made it so easier to slip back into the mode by helping us big time with moving our stuff back into the house and stocking our fridge before we even got home!!!

Anyways, so now that we're more settled, i will try to get a few more updates up! And just in case you're wondering.. yes, i miss you guys in the Philippines too!!!
