    Where Are We Now?

    Hi everyone, it’s been a while, so here’s a family update!

    Our last post here was back in 2021. If you scroll down far enough, you’ll find the twins’ baby shower, their baptism and their very first photoshoot, from back when the biggest news in our house was a new set of tiny socks. Life got busy after that, as it does, and this little corner of the internet went quiet. We missed it, though. Looking back at those old posts reminded us why we started this site: so we’d never forget the small moments that turned out to be the big ones.

    So before we start posting again, here’s a catch-up on where everyone is now.

    Basti, 17

    Our eldest is now in college! Basti is a freshman at De La Salle University, taking Business Management. It still feels strange to say “college” out loud. It feels like yesterday he was the one helping us hold his baby siblings, and now he’s the one with his own schedule, his own plans and his own big decisions. We’re very proud of him.

    Ethan, 14

    Ethan is in Grade 9 and has been doing taekwondo. It’s been great to watch him grow stronger and more focused, and a little more confident every time he steps onto the mat. He’s also become a big brother the twins really look up to.

    Stephen, 12

    Stephen is in Grade 7, after his Moving Up ceremony last April. These days he’s our proud homebody. If there’s a choice between going out and staying in, you already know which one Stephen picks. Every family needs someone who keeps the home warm, and he’s happily taken the job.

    Sky and Chloe, 8

    Our twins turn 9 this December, which we can hardly believe, since this website literally began with their baby shower. Sky, older by a few minutes, does taekwondo like his Kuya Ethan, so now we have two in the family. Chloe, our only girl, loves drawing and painting, and we’re looking for art classes for her. She also does yoga with Mommy Dimple, which has become their own special time together.

    What’s next for the site

    We’re starting to post again! Expect new photos, family trips, events, school milestones, and the everyday moments in between. Some will be big celebrations and some will just be a regular Saturday at home, but they’re all worth remembering.

    Thank you for still being here after all this time. See you in the next post!

    With love,
    Mommy Dimple, Daddy Paolo, Basti, Ethan, Stephen, Sky and Chloe

  • The Twins’ Baptismal Ceremony

    The Twins’ Baptismal Ceremony

    Last March 4, 2018, was the twins’ baptism: Chloe and Sky were finally baptized in Christ The King Parish Church where Basti, Ethan and Stephen were also baptized. 

    Just like the 3 older boys prepared the twins’ white Baptismal clothes and hired someone to decorate the Baptismal candles which also served as souvenirs to the Godparents.

    Twins baptism at Christ the King Parish: everything doubled

    However, the Twins’ Baptism is extra special because everything is double. Daddy Paolo became more involved because unlike before where I was the only one who was carrying the baby to be baptized, he was carrying one of the Twins last March 4.

    We were able to actively participate in baptism because we were carrying the Twins throughout the ceremony — from the Gospel reading to the lighting of candles, anointing of oil, and pouring of the Holy Water.

    Special thanks to Chloe’s and Sky’s Godparents for attending the Baptismal ceremony even If It was on a Sunday

    Thank you very much to our family members as well.

    Finally, I would like to thank our San Juan Photography for taking this nice family shot

    outside the church (we were not able to do this in previous baptismal ceremony of the 3 older boys). Thank you very much!
