For a breath of fresh air, we often wander thru the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. We brought the Paguirigan siblings there to take in the colors and smells of Spring.

We let Mahalia feel the grass with her feet. A real city girl, she's always a little reluctant and prefers to feel the blades with one foot at a time.




We took a ride on the Carousel. My sisters, Tani on the left, Lica on the right and my niece, Lilly.



Lilly, as you can see, is breathtakingly photogenic.

Take Toriyama. May he rest in peace.

Mahalia has been riding the carousel for the past few weeks. We took the plunge and decided to let her ride the horse. Thank god that my big brother, Brett, was also on the carousel with camera in hand. It's fairly obvious from the look on the child's face that she loves riding the horse. She made daddy ride twice.






Many folks have been commenting that Mahalia's skin is getting darker and her hair is getting blonder. This photo helps you long distance foks and fans see for yourself. She sure as hell keeps getting cuter.

We have a phat new shiny computer. It allows me to take photos of myself like this one and listen to rad music at all times. Most importantly, it means all blog, all the time. You can't imagine how Mahalia has changed since I last wrote. It goes without saying that we're super psyched about this recent technological development and hope that you'll continue to read about the mundane goings ons in the Paguirigendsley/Endsluirigan household.

We are technically disabled at the Paguirigendsley household. Watch out though! When we get our new computer in a few weeks it's going to be nothing but Mahalia, all day and all night.

All of the lovely Paguirigan siblings gathered in NYC to celebrate Spring and to see Jai's neato piece of furniture at the ICFF (Internation Contemporary Furniture Fair) You can look at his bench by clicking here. Once some siblings send some photos I can post those here too!

Mahalia has been joining her father for a series of meetings of THE BROOKLYN JAZZ UNDERGROUND. Find out more about that organization by clicking here.

Look at this sweet photo of the little lady learning about the modern, downtown jazz scene.
