HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

My first Mother's Day was wonderful. Gwen got me a beautiful opal (her birthstone)/tanzanite ring and we all went out to a fantastic brunch at Panzanos (where our wedding was). Gwen had raspberry jam, mashed strawberries & blueberries, and cream cheese icing from a cinnamon bun.....so much for the rules on introducing food!! I drank far too many mimosas, but since Mike has been in charge of Gwen the entire day, it didn't matter. I had a blast!

Gwen has her first tooth. It has completely poked through! I can't believe it. On top of her first tooth she also has had her first ear ache which included a ruptured ear drum. Along with all of Gwen's "firsts" Mike made it through another round of layoffs. That is 4 rounds in 6 months for us (for the record we are 3 for 4). Needless to say the past week has been a rough one, but we have survived!

Happy Mother's Day to all moms and enjoy some pictures from today:
