After many years of trying to plan this trip, we finally made it the Philippines! The babies have never been, it’s been nearly 17 years since the girls and I visited in 2009 and Ty hasn’t been back since 2003. Needless to say, this visit was long overdue.

I’m finally biting the bullet and will attempt to get us back up to date. … Continue reading Where Have You Been
