7 things I love about this week:
1) Welcoming my beautiful nephew Robert Isaac to the family.
2) That he gets to inherit our Dad‘s name, Robert, and even if he didn’t get to meet him anymore, a part of his Lolo lives in him.
3) How “Tita Riz” seems to just roll off the tongue, I can imagine little Isaac soon saying my name and tugging on my skirt. “Tita Riz, I want ice cream.” “Tita Riz, let’s go to the zoo.” “Tita Riz, I wanna play plants and zombiess!” (Just you wait, kid, your Tita Riz will spoil you like crazy. And well, I’ll leave the disciplining to your Mom, Dad and Lola, haha.)
4) That he’s got all of us wrapped around his cute little finger without knowing it. He cries and everyone in the room panics, figuring out what he needs. He sleeps and we all silently stare at him like lovestruck puppies. He blinks and we all go “awww” with tiny hearts in our eyes. It’s kuh-rayy-zee what babies can do, when they’re not even doing anything at all!
5) That I got to take their first family picture, and that I was able to preserve love in a photograph. Definitely one for keeps. <3
6) That I’ve witnessed (over again) with my own eyes this beautiful thing called motherly love, something we often fail to appreciate because mothers are always there anyway. I can still picture in my head the look on Ate Imy’s face as she admires her son, and the twinkle in my Mom’s eyes everytime she speaks of her grandson. Priceless.
7) Finally, I love days when, not expecting anything, something beautiful happens (or someone comes along) and your life is never the same. Such is this week in the Sanchez home. <3
And so I pray for a life that’s full of days like these. Dear Lord, that’s all I ask today.

Hi Riz! Your nephew’s so cute! :)
how lovely. :-)
Weee ang saya-saya! Baby Isaac is so cute (and I love the name!). 2010 is really looking good. I believe there’ll be more days like this for you. NOTHING to be sad about anymore! :)
Awww, so sweet.
I can totally identify with the emotion (love) of this post… since my sister (my only sibling and great friend) just gave birth to her first child (girl) a few days ago. I’m am so beyond elated this week, my heart is bursting from joy. I’m so happy to be an Aunt.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I was blog hopping and visited your old blog “guitarchic.net”… and my virus software threw up an alarm. Upon checking Google search, according to Google… they’ve slapped your old site with “This site may harm your computer.” (site is distributing malware). Maybe you already know this… but just in case, FYI… umm, you might want to fix that coz it looks like your site has been hacked…
This is such a sweet and heartwarming entry, Riz! :) Babies indeed know how to wrap us around their little fingers — they just know when to smile, when to make pa-cute, when to coo — to make our hearts melt and vow to take care of them for life. Haha.
