WS #3: Gearing Up for the World Cup

I love the fact that we live just a very short drive away from a really nice park. On the last Saturday of February, we took advantage of a fine sunny afternoon and spent a few hours in the park. The wind was a bit chilly but something we welcomed just the same. :D

Abby has the most fun on days such as this. She gets to run, play, run, play...and run and play some more. :)


We didn't forget to bring one of Abby's favorite balls. This was a gift to her by our half-Filipina, half-German friend Ninna, when we went to Germany in February 2006. It's a replica of the official 2006 World Cup ball.


Hubby and I wish for Abby to love sports. And I do have reason to believe that unlike me, she will grow up to be athletic.

Like every kid her age, Abby is a ball of energy. As much as possible, we provide her with

opportunities to release some of it. Hahaha! :D Going to the park is best because one, we can all benefit from the fresh air and two, it's F-R-E-E. ;)

In exchange for a smile like this, we won't mind bringing Abby to the park every chance we get. That's a fair deal, don't you think?

oOo

I have another WS entry at Cafe Munchkin. Do visit other Weekend Snapshot participants here. Better yet, why not join in the fun?! :)

Have a great week, y'all!

WS #2 - R & R at Brushy Creek Lake Park

Two weeks ago, we spent the afternoon at Brushy Creek Lake Park.

We brought our trusty mats, toys for Abby, books and magazines that were left unread, and of course, food!

Abby and I kicked off our shoes. She, to play on the sand...

...and I, to lay down under the shade of a tree.

At first, I had my legs crossed at the ankles...

...but out of habit, I couldn't resist crossing them at the knees like so. :D

Ahhhh, this is the life...and so thought my left foot. :D

And to prove that we brought food, I posted another WS entry here. :)

Have a great and richly blessed new week, y'all! :D

ps: Check out the pics from other WS participants here.

WS#1: Madonna and Grandchild

The very first weekend after my Mom arrived in Austin for a vacation with us, we drove off to Dallas for some R & R. On 29 December, Saturday, we spent a few hours at the Dallas Arboretum. There's no better way to relax than to be one with nature. Plus, I kinda had a hidden agenda...I wanted to play with my new toy, and take pictures of flowers. Hee hee!

As luck would have it, there weren't too many flowers to take pictures of because it's, er, winter. My bad. You can't really blame me for not knowing these things because I was born and raised in the Philippines, a tropical country (Excuses, excuses!). All was not last though. In the absence of more gorgeous flora, I was able to focus more on my loved ones and some of my favorite pics, were those I took of my Mom and Abby. :D So, without further I ado, I present to you a series of photos of the two women in my life having a conversation in the park and which I am aptly calling: Madonna and Granchild. ;)















I have many more photos of Abby and her Mimi, which will surely find their way to this site soon.
