LAYOUTS: week 27

i know i have been gone for a long time but i have been really busy the past 2 weeks. last last week (june 29 - july 5) i was busy preparing for our trip (here in the philippines). i needed to prepare the stuff of all of my three kids plus all the 'pasalubong' (just-little-somethings) for friends and relatives and family. during this time we had a guest in our house. sis. noelle (a filipina nun who is assigned in france) came to paris to apply for a uk visa. she had some extra days to see paris because it was her first time. me and the kids showed her around. she did help me shop for my pasalubong.
july 4 sister noelle went back to the monastery. july 5 we flew here!!
it was a 15 hour flight (paris to amsterdam -- 1.5 hours, 1.5 hours stop over in amsterdam, amsterdam to manila-- 12 hours). pretty long flight but it wasn't as difficult as i expected. the kids ate well, and sofia didn't run around that much in the plane. she just liked kicking the sit in front of her (hahahaha!!!). good thing the person in front of her was really nice and understanding. the worst part was i didn't get any sleep.
i will not share the daily photos of last last week, just the layouts. i will just post week 28.
so we are just happy we are safely home and with my dad. more to come in the following days...
