Mothers' Day 2006

This year's Mothers' Day celebration was a blast. For one thing, it is the first year wherein Ana celebrates as a mom. As for the celebration itself, it was the first time Joshua went out to a restaurant.

The tail end of the storm which hit the country during the weekend brought about breezy and cloudy weather - the best kind of weather to go walking around on a Sunday. Ate Rica, my sister-in-law managed to book us a function room at Sugi Japanese Restaurant at Greenbelt III. The place was very conducive to family dining, the staff corteous, patient and competent. A couple of hefty men bore up Joshua's stroller (with Joshua inside) to the second floor and we proceeded to the function room. Somehow I was reminded of a Native Central American god in a palanquin being borne up the steps of a temple. Joshua enjoyed the ride too from the looks of it.

My folks followed shortly afterwards and so did my brother Louie. All in all the family had loads of fun.
