Checking out the new coffee shop, Craft, down the street from my parents house

Digging the reclaimed wood furniture

Split pea soup for dinner (recipe from David Lebovitz) – my first time to make it!

Yogurt, granola and strawberries makes a healthy-ish breakfast

Waiting for my turn at the cashier

Christmas display at Shangri-la Plaza mall. I wish I had brought Bea along to see it!

Drove to Anilao for the weekend. Two lolos (grandfathers) vying for the little one’s attention

Sorting the shells and corals

Look at that face!

Wrinkled fingers from soaking in the water too long, trying to get Bea accustomed to swimming

Siesta time!

Blessed to be able to wake up in a place with this gorgeous view

Life in the middle of stones and dead corals

Missing the husband, who stayed home

More photos soon!
