So, how's the vacation?

Short but marvelous.

We were welcomed, not only by our loved ones who missed Luke so much, but also by the warm weather, which made our layers of jackets and coats heavier to handcarry.

Luke got sick from the day we arrived, till a week or so, probably coz of the temp change. Feeding instantly became difficult coz he thought everything we gave him was meds. It was hard to enthuse him to eat solids. Good news is, his rashes slowly disappeared despite irregular meds.

So he stayed home most of the time, while enjoying precious moments with nanay and tatay, and playing with his cousins. And oh, with ninang TM too!

Sad though that he never got the chance to mingle with his other cousins (my side). Papa visited us for a few days, then off to my siblings' place.

While Christmas came by silently, that is, Luke was sleeping all through the night, New Year wasn't a New Year without some fun, together with the whole cast of the DA family, celebrated in Cavite. Loud music, dancing, fireworks and lots of food, of course! Luke innocently but gamely joined in the sura (tricky throwing of coins -- and bills too, then kids and adults alike playfully compete to get the most coins). I think Luke got around 200pesos. Not bad for his first NY, huh!

First morning of 2006, time to go. Til next holidays ...
