I just got a confirmation from the lady at PNB remittance center about the shipping cost of balikbayan boxes. The price went up a bit, but I still decided to use jumbo balikbayan boxes to be sent to my family. I received the news last night that my sister is going to have a baby boy and I would definitely send Joshua's old clothes and other baby stuff, so there's more to pack. Today I started shopping a few stuff in my list and hopefully I will be finished this week, so I could send these packages ASAP. We are all excited to welcome the second "Apo" in the family. I have been really slow with this whole packing thing because I didn't feel good in the last 2 days, so all I did was taking a rest. Today I feel a little better so I am half way done and hopefully by Friday I can call the lady to pick up these boxes.
A short update about Joshua's school and all I can say is he is just doing well. I noticed new big words already he uttered this week and I have nothing but pure admiration to him. He just surprises me every day and his performances are really outstanding. I am glad Mike is around to help a little and take care of Joshua, while I am busy packing. A few games and snacks helped ease the boredom too. All three of us really enjoy word games, so we had played a bit. We were still able to bond a little and decided to just stay home for the rest of the day.
