Missing Our Baby Boy

You're no longer our little boy. In fact, you rarely come over for a visit and when you do you keep busy with little things that you enjoy; and mommies and ates are not something you enjoy these days.

I miss our baby Silas so much some days. 

Silas @ Puerto Galera

Our little baby is all grown up. He was quite brave at the beach too! Look:

Crack kills!

Keep It Up, Silas!

Silas texted me yesterday. He got number 4 in the overall rankings for his grade level. Again, we are so proud of you, bunso!

My fears of you being too spoiled with all the treats we give you are unfounded. You know your priorities and you are being a very good student and son. I can't wait till we go to the beach in 2 weeks!

Happy Birthday Bunso!

It's your 8th birthday today. We love you so much!

Birthday Coming Up

I have something for your birthday, bunso. I know I told you over the phone the other day and Daddy said that you were jumping for joy. Just don't let it get in the way of your studies, ok?

I am also planning on getting you another thing, we'll see if I can.

I Pray That You'll Be Spared

These past few days have been a bit tough. I am realizing even more that growing up is far more complicated than I thought it would be.

Silas, I hope that you will find it easier than we are finding it now. I hope that you will be spared some of our experiences. Or maybe, that you will respond and learn better than we are doing so right now.

I pray that you will find the answers more easily and less painfully...

Missing Si-si Again

Here I am at the office trying to work but I suddenly feel this overwhelming urge to see Silas. I miss my little brother. We were together last Saturday for Sam's party and we went shopping for a bit afterwards. I can't wait till I see him again.

He's in second grade now. Look at how big a boy he has become.
That's our little brother holding his balloon animal. I think it's a rabbit.
