So we got back from vacation almost a month ago, but we are still trying to get our groove back. It's quite hard to think about work when all you could think about is sun, sand and sea. Oh, and camels. And pyramids. And sunsets. Ok, stop. This isn't working. How about we just let you in on what was a busy but memorable month for the Dygmeister?

Dylan was turning one and had graduated from walking to running -- which also meant the end of quiet weekends and weeknights. But boy, were we in for a fun ride! We had originally planned out one birthday in California -- a jungle party with Dylan's little buddies. It actually turned out pretty well. We had food catered by our very own Ate Alice, with the help of cousins Danica and Bulon. We had booths, games and play areas managed by Dylan's titos and titas. And we had a mini-zoo with a puppet show and animal petting time where the kids met a king snake, a great owl and an irresistably cute and fuzzy chinchilla. It was a roarrring great party fit for the little king of the jungle :)

On our second day in T.O., we invited family and friends to meet the Dygmeister and celebrate his big birthday. Ninang Daphne had filled the house with balloons and decorations, and Lolo and Lola's house was packed! Being away for over a year or so, it was great to see folks whom we haven't seen in a while. We just wish we had more time to spend with each and every one of them!

Then it was time to embark on our 15-day journey to the Greek islands, the pyramids of Egypt and the monuments of Turkey. (See Part 2 of this blog series)
