My youngest niece birthday today!


Yay!! Today the August 13th is my youngest niece birthday. We call her AG a summary of her real name Angel Grace. I named all my three nieces Grace's because they are a grace from God. AG was born premature, she stayed at the hospital and in incubator for days. When she was born I was called immediately because "they" said that she might not make it. When I was in the hospital, in the nursery room with babies having problem (what is that room called?)  together with my SIL the nurse in the desk told us, which I won't never forget her words...it's like this.."it's only prayer that the baby will survive", in other words my niece is between life and death? I don't understand it and I don't understand it why but at the back of my mind, she will survived she is given to us from God. So when we approached the incubator, looking at her so tiny, very fragile and with the nurses words my heart broke but I keep myself not to burst in tears. Instead I say something to my tiny niece, I said...."You will survive, we love you!" And at that moment I see a tiny smile formed on her mouth, I knew right there everything will be fine and it is. That was seven years ago and this little girl is not in school, very active plays a lot, she has her mind of her own, I observe her as very independent, she can be with friends or not she is fine with it. AG is my 3rd niece and I so love her very much.  Happy Birthday AG someday you are going to read this and we love very much!! 


Note: A for Angel because she is an angel to us
         G because she is a grace to us

I understand how AG's mum felt, because I went through the same, those words." She won't make it." God chose to let AG live, and lets all pray she will do great things for the Lord. She who had been snatched from the devil's mouth.

Happy Birthday AG.

Please buy a present for AG's mum too.

Happy Birthday AG!

All kids are precious to us. They become more dear to us if at a very very young stage, they go through difficulties and yet survived.

AG is not only an Angel and a grace to your family but a constant reminder for our daily life's survival :)

Thanks to Ms. L for driving us and preparing our lunch because we had a sumptuous lunch as well as a good laugh. Here are the photos that we took.

Couple's Corner: Jealousy

Image
So it's another couple's corner meme once again and this time it is all about jealousy. I am thinking of the 8 years that I have known my hubby (2 years of chatting, 1 year engaged, 5 years of marriage) wala namang grabeng nangyari sa amin in terms of jealousy but ONCE and will tell the story later so hang on hehe. I am the kind of person who trust a person without any doubt, even with friends what you see is what you get but if you broke that trust I would never care nor look at you as in talagang wala na. But in marriage pala we can't just say "that's it" or "this is it", we have to listen to one another and trust again and  again and again. I look as jealousy or selos as like a flame  that keeps the fire from BURNING HOT!! bwehehehe!! -wink-wink- Hubby is not a jealous type nor I (well not much). His ex-wife is still living and I never get jealous because I am much 1000% prettier and younger than her bwahahaha!! Kidding aside hubby don't h...

It's yellow

Six more weeks and it will be Spring wohooo!! By that time I am kind of busy scratching (like a chicken) trying to find sprouting plants specially tulips and some other early plants and flowers on the ground. This year I am excited to see my dahlias, peonies and hollyhocks blossom once again. Last year I took a shot of my first ever Dahlia and never expected to see a humongous one. The saying "expect the unexpected" is what I  remember when I saw my first Dahlia. This picture is the bud, ain't that huge already. The other day when it starts to warm up (25F that's our warm or heat wave here in MI lol) the snows on top of the roof started to melt, so it formed  long icicles. I so then thought of taking a picture for macro shot. When I saw the result in my camera the light from the window came out yellow, a great entry for MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY !! ^_^
