***********
Sunday was a family day for the Ordonez-Bonifacio family. Dex, Bry and Roger came back after dinner that Bry offered Roger and Irene to spend the night with them. Roger, being tired already accepted the offer.

Aira gave Irene extra clothes for her and for Caleb.

             "Sorry talaga Ate, nakakahiya", Irene said

           "No, it's okay. It's much better for the three of you to rest instead of driving tonight then be backed tomorrow. It's not as if you're not family", she told her.

          Caleb was also asleep in Aira's bed already.

Aira woke up knowing that they will be spending the day at Kate's and Kuya's house. She checked her monitor and saw that both Eli and Lizzie were still asleep. It's past 7AM already. Dex was not in bed anymore. The 3 musketeers, they called themselves that, Dex, Bry and Roger had an early run.

Dex kissed her before going downstairs.

"You're early Babe", she told him sleepily.

"Oo Mahal. We agreed on this last night pa. Pagbigyan ko lang ha. It's good that I got some company while I have my early run", he told her and she nodded.

She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and took a quick shower. It will be another hectic day. The more the family got bigger, the more you cannot get some rest. Hihi. But she's not complaining. She was happy that while they got the chance to be together, they will take it. The kids are growing up so fast.

She went downstairs, and glanced at the monitor. Eli was reading in bed but Lizzie's still asleep. She went to the kitchen. Bona was there already cooking their breakfast.

"Good morning Bona. Where's Amor?", she asked her

"Naliligo lang po Ate", she said and served her coffee. She was like Irene in all aspect. She knew what to do around the kitchen. For five years that she had been with them, she was like an extension of Irene. Amor will be like her young daughter. She wanted Amor and Bona to attend night school but both of them were not interested.

"Ok lang po kami Ate. Mas mahirap po na wala kang makatulong dito", Amor told them.

"Ok. But if you changed your mind, just tell us, ok?", she told them

She and Dex were ready to let them have night school she can take care of the kids at night but well, maybe it's not yet in their plans.

Eli walked in to the dining.

"Good morning Mommy", he said and kissed Aira.

"Good morning", she said and watched him as he sat opposite her.

Eli looked at the monitor. Lizzie was still asleep.

"Lizzie's such a baby Mommy", he smiled

"Yes. She needed all the sleep that she can get", Aira agreed with him.

Eli looked around for his Dada.

"He's with Tito Bry and Tito Roger, early morning run", she told him

"Next time, I'll join Dada Mommy. I wanna run too", Eli said

"Really? That's a good idea Kuya. You needed some exercise for your karate", she said
