September Afternoon

Just one ordinary afternoon in September, a visit to my FIL ended up with a family walk around Marland Heights. Too bad that my FIL can no longer walk that far, we always encouraged him to go with us though. The photos below were taken last Saturday.

Our weekend  was spent  in bowling alley, a quick  lunch at Taco Bell , a visit to  my FIL and a family walk.

I love the view in Marland Heights, you can see part of Ohio on the other side.

Kid at Heart

Warning! Photo overload below.

When my husband (then boyfriend) went to visit my family   for the first time in the Philippines, He spent hours  playing with my nieces and nephews.  I knew right there and then that he would be a great Dad.  

He is 42 years old but he is a kid at heart who love to  spend time with  us.  No matter how  tired my husband is, he would  make sure to play with the kids whenever they ask him to.

He is the kind of  Dad who is willing to give up a good paying job  just to be with his family.  I remember when  he was still in active duty, he was offered  to go to Iraq in exchange of a big bonus that would be given to him but he chose  to go to Korea instead even if the pay was  average. because in the latter, he gets to take us with him.  I am so proud of him for that!

KUDOS to all the Dads who are kid at heart just like my husband.  It makes a huge difference to the development of the kids when you spend qyuality time with them.

Money can't buy those happiness that kids feel when parents are there  to play and be there for them all the time.
