Chargers v. 49ers Game 2010



Earlier this evening, we all went to the Chargers versus 49ers game with Erica's brother Rick, Brian, Dan & Aurena. Believe it or not, this is Derek's 2nd Chargers game. The first one he went to was when he was about 4 months old and the Chargers played against the Colts, his Ninang/Godmother Nora's favorite team. This time around he was able to pay attention and actually grasp what was going on. The final score was 34-7 Chargers. Derek enjoyed the scenery and fireworks on every Chargers score. Check out the pics!

Derek's Now in Preschool



Everyday, Derek keeps getting smarter and continually absorbs new things. We decided it was time for preschool. Even though he's barely two years old, not only does he look like he's four, but he intellectually advanced for his age. Derek is now enrolled in the pre-K Concordia School located a block from our house. So far so good. This school will help him in the long run to develop his brain and social skills. He even made his stage debut for Concordia's Living Nativity play. Too bad it got rained out but at least he was on stage before it got shut down.









Thanksgiving 2010

This year's Thanksgiving was very similar to the past Thanksgiving celebration. Like last year and the past 4 yours since Erica and I got married, we celebrated Thanksgiving lunch in San Diego with the Buenaventura's and Thanksgiving dinner with the Sison's in Delano. The main difference is that Derek is now a toddler and he was able to run around and do more things. Its always awesome to spend time with family and catch up with each other, even if it means stuffing our faces twice in one day.

Here's some pics in San Diego:










Here's a few from Delano:



Mommy & Derek Days @ Legoland



During the last two Fridays of November, Erica made a couple of spontaneous trips to Legoland. Since we still have our season passes and she is off on Fridays, Erica took a drive up to Carlsbad for some Legoland fun. Derek rode the Sky Cruiser for the first time and rode some of his favorites, including the boat ride, safari cars and the fairy tale boat ride. Here are some pics of the trips.
