Everdearest Nana

Coming to America, I would say that one of the best blessings our family has received came in the form of my dear sister-in-law, Samantha. Ever since the beginning, she has lovingly and unconditionally poured out all her support for us, not only during trying times but also in moments of jubilation. She would always go out of her way to offer whatever help she can to aid and guide us during the times we feel lost. She is our morale booster, our lifesaver --- our guardian angel. We are forever grateful to all the wonderful things she has done. I am so thankful to the heavens for bringing Nana into our lives.

Women of Substance

Mama visiting us was just pure delight! Eagan and Aaron were most extremely delighted with her presence. Eagan would oftentimes go to such silly extremes just to catch his grandma's attention. Her visit to California also paved the way for visiting her good old friends from way back old times in Manila. These were women who throughout the years underwent a series of hardships, heartaches, and trials. Yet, like Mama, despite all the challenges they have weathered through time, they have emerged glorious in their true form - as women of substance.

My Family

This is the family I have that I love and cherish with all my heart and soul - Edison, the pillar of strength and our guiding light; Eagan, our charming and energetic toddler; and Aaron, our "talkative" and ever-so-happy baby. From them, I draw my strength and inspiration to face the challenges of each and every day. It is through them that I have evolved into a much better person. I will fight for them with my life and be the best I can be for our future. We are the Uys!

Hot, Hot Summer!

Hubby says its just the early part of summer but the heat is just so intense here in California. It gets so scorching hot most especially shortly before noon until nighttime. Seen here during late spring/early summer is Eagan with his friends from the neighborhood - Keisha, Cheska, Pauline, and Faye. They really are a great group of girls - sweet, smart, and good-natured kids that Eagan loves to hang around with. Luckily, they also love Eagan's company despite him being the smallest in the group.
