back to normal!!

hey all...just wanted to let ya'll know that my auntie gigi has gone back to finland. she left yeaterday @ 6:00pm!! as soon as we got home...the house felt so empty and so quiet...the funny thing is, even when she was here it was quiet anyhow!! well...i know my mom misses her a lot more than dad and i do...but she'll be back next year so it won't be such a long wait...and i may even travel to europe before then to go visit her...she has offered to pay for my plane ticket!!

anyhow, i am SO glad that everyone in the Philippines is doing well and having a great time...it's always nice to hear, whether on the phone, via e-mail or the blog, from them and what they've been up to...i'm a little jealous, b/c i know that IF i were to go back, i wouldn't be getting the detailed tour that MJan and unlce pat are getting!!

i hope everyone is well in the USA...including the Cabotaje's!! although we haven't heard from you guys much you are still in our thoughts!!

ate sheila, jordan, kuju and ate jen...how are your kids doing?? i can't wait to finally meet Lydia and play with Jacob...i actually called on wednesday/thursday morning looking for kuju but i ended up talking to jacob...he's SO silly!! it's SO great that he can hold conversations now!! BTW...did ya'll get my package?? i hope so!!

anyways...gonna take a nap...i have a headache...i will blog again soon!! ttyl!!
