We wonder where the time has gone… Maycie just celebrated her second birthday, and it was her second birthday here in the Philippines as well. We have sure enjoyed watching her grow up here and all the new and fun things she does. From time to time we are clearly reminded that no matter how hard we try to raise her in a way that she will still be an American she is experiencing things very unique to life in the Philippines that will no doubt mold who she is. We think this is a good thing and are thankful for the experiences she is able to have here.

This was very clear after her birthday party when she was playing with the doll house that her grandma sent her. She was playing “blackout” with the people in the house. She would exclaim, “Oh no! No power!” and everyone would pretend that the power was out. Then a few moments later she’d exclaim again, “Yay! Power!” Can you tell what our days are like? It was really cute, but should a 2-year old really be playing that game? She is no doubt going to have a rich storehouse of experiences as she grows up. We took some pictures of her just before and during her birthday and have posted them on our gallery.
