Picnics, babies, puppies, cousins

Well yesterday was a whirlwind of activity. :) First, church with Lori and Lola (I did the readings). Then the Bulacan Circle picnic in Busse Woods. Mom & Dad won the water balloon toss, LOL. Tita Marie & Mark were there too; it was their 1-year wedding anniversary! Talked to Parrish about his new realtor job, petted a couple of poodles who were rather aloof, and ate some yummy Filipino food.

I then left the picnic early to meet up with Rebe and her 5-month-old baby, Luke, at Oberweis for some ice cream (kind of a tradition of ours). Luke is cute and *huge*... 17lb, with arms and legs about as big as mine, heh. It was nice to catch up with Rebe as always. Luke was a good little boy for the most part, only getting fussy and crying just before we left Oberweis.

After that, I went back to my parents' house to wait for them to get home from the picnic, and for my cousin Joyce and her dad to arrive. Joyce just finished law school at Notre Dame, and her dad came to help her move out of her apt. They'll be flying back home to L.A. today. Anyway, we chatted a while at the house then went to Koreana for dinner (yum). Back at the house we chatted some more and played with Mocha who was very entertaining. :) Finally got home around 11pm.

This will feel like a long week at work after last week. Not a whole lot is going on at work either which could make things drag even more. I'm waiting for a response from the client on a couple of items before I can move on with this one particular task. Some other things have been annoying at work lately - not with the project, but with peripheral stuff. No need to go into detail, but I hope that it all gets resolved soon as they're adding unwanted stress to my summer. :P
