Since I mentioned Aly's Family Timeline Project, allow me to share with you some of the photos that she's going to share with her classmates. Again, thank you, mommy, Angel + Jof for helping us with the photos!

Baby Pictures

My mom when she was a baby with my lola Nene (left), lolo Pete (right) and my lola's tita in the middle. Aly said lola Aple's eyes here are exactly the same as her lola's eyes now. Heehee!

Mom when she was a toddler. I love this photo. I have a beautiful lola.

With my mommy when I was a baby :)

Trivia: my name was originally spelled Chrisanne (Christine and Anne combined). My mom had a small business before and she named it after me. But that was the time before computers and printers so she had to write all the labels by hand. Tinamad si mother sa haba ng name ko so Chrisanne became Krisan. Heehee!

With my lolo Pete.

I just realized now that mom and dad's wedding motif is pink and purple. Our wedding was a shade of purple too! How cool is that?

Encyclopedia. Gosh, it sounds so ancient now!
a
a
Mom and dad's wedding cord and arrhae...
a
a
a
...that Richard and I borrowed for our wedding. We believe that by using these, the same kind of luck and blessings that mom and dad had would rub off on our marriage as well. So far, so good!
a

Lola's earrings, which she wore on mom and dad's wedding...
a
a
...are the same earrings that I wore on our wedding.

I love looking at old family photos. But what I love more is how Aly's eyes seem to brighten up when she looks at them and hears the stories behind them. She loves history too.
