The Philippines with the Kids

The motherland had some grandbabies it needed to meet.

This is probably the most ambitious adventure we’ve embarked on as a family of five… and one of the most ambitious things I’ve done: taking all the Lazaro littles on the long journey to the other side of the world to get to the Philippines.

Of course, you don’t sign yourself up for that sort of thing unless you believe it’ll be worth the gargantuan effort… and I really do. I want my kids to have a connection to their roots, one that I don’t think will be made passively. Also I want to have a glass of the freshest mango juice everyday, so here we are.
