While waiting for baby girl to come out, I decided to make a layout for these set of pictures. Took some time to come up with one though, between being busy with preparations for baby girl and being really tired and lazy most of the time (haha!) during this pregnancy.
These pics were taken one August afternoon. E was in a good mood that Ichi got him to pose for the pics real easy.

Part of our Christmas presents for our families last year was a personalized 2009 calendar. As early as the start of the year, my mom already asked me to do a 2010 calendar for her monday group that would be her Christmas present for them. I wanted to wait for the different digital scrap shoppes to start offering their 2010 calendar kits (easier for me to do the calendars haha!) but since I’m due to give birth early November (I can give birth as early as mid- October when the kits usually come out) I decided to just start making the calendar from scratch, from the different kits that I already have. First thing to do though was to make the dates, had to make sure that the dates were put in the correct days. After that to decide on a layout that I can carry throughout the months. So far, I’ve been able to finish up to June. 6 more pages to go and hopefully I can still have the time to do the ones for the family.

I’ve been neglecting this blog for a while, been in a rut with the layouts. This one took me a while to finish but finally I was able to the other day. This are pics from when we had E’s hair cut last October. It was the first time here and the first time that we brought him to an adult salon. I don’t remember if it was him or Ichi who went first but he was really quiet all the time his hair was being cut. This also cost us cheaper than the time we bought him to the kiddie salons in Manila.

After procrastinating yet again and finally giving up with doing the calendar layouts myself. I decided on getting the 2009 8×10 wall calendar by Zoe Pearn. I had 2 sets of 8×10 calendars printed at BigW (the cheapest rate I could find, yet still put a dent in the wallet hahaha!) for the grandparents and printed 4×6s for our siblings on our home printer. I took the prints to Ofis to have them bound. Good thing my BIL and SIL were here for a visit so they can take the calendars back to Manila for us. I do have to print one more set for our use.
