Taken from Marriott Waikiki - Thanks again to Lea for the Ocean's view room. Stayed for the labor day weekend when hubby visited before he left for his deployment. It's been only 2 weeks and it seems like he's been gone for a year. It's not as bad though as compared to his previous deployments. I deal with sadness & loneliness better now. More pictures with "weekend with daddy" later on. 
(picture taken from my visit last month)
This is the last pic with my Uncle..it was even funny that we took this picture about 4 times because he didnt' like the angle. I will cherish all the memories. I never told you, but I love you Tito Dante. May your soul rest in peace.
I was busy this weekend and plus Winter got very sick and took her to the ER last night. She threw up 5 times in 7 hours with a fever of 100.9F. As always I waited 2 hours to be seen and another 2 hours for the test and results. (This is at Tripler Army Medical Center - Hawaii). Doctor said she might have an uti, so there's a follow up check tomorrow at the pediatrics. Hope everything is okay with her and that antibiotics can cure it. My poor baby was so kawawa the whole day. After the suppository tylenol, fell asleep for couple of hours and she felt better when she got up. As soon as she woke up she asked for crackers and tubig. I will update more tomorrow. But for now i want to do this, saw this from someone, but accidentally closed the window before i even get her url.
Not to brag about my daughter..I just want to share how proud I am for my Winter everytime she learn something new..

At 2 yrs & 9 months - she's trying to write letters (she can make 'W' & shapes (circle, triangle & square). she can make a smiley face, draw a balloon & lollipop.
She lovesssss to read books (before going to bed we read "a" book..but we always end up reading 3-5 books -some short & long stories). She loves to draw, color and paint. Thank God that she got her brains from her Daddy & not from me haha.
Speaking of....We miss Daddy a lot..he finally left for his deployment..it's been 2 months that we've been apart (though he came here to visit us for the Labor day weekend - he was only here for 48 hrs - will make another post with 'a weekend with daddy')..it's been 1 week that he left the States..I still have 11 months & 3 weeks to go...I hope time flies that we get to see Daddy again...
Here's a pic of Winter at the ER last night with her popsicle from the nurse and holding her basin on her other hand..this is after 4 hours of waiting...
