Happy Birthday to Gundor!


Gundor joined the septuagenarian club on September 1st and to help him celebrate the big SEVEN ZERO we flew out to Baltimore to stay with Marks family over Labor Day weekend. We had a marvelous reunion! We started with brunch with Celie on Saturday-straight from the airport so we wouldn't miss each other as Celie was to depart for Italy only hours later. After that our schedule was more relaxed, centered around home cooked meals, significant bottles of wine, and a supremely decadent chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, whipped cream and strawberries on top! I tried valiantly to stick to my diet through it all, but I so hate to be a party pooper... Even Panda joined in the fun (in the theme of eating) and experimented with her first bites of solid food! We were so happy that Millie and Gundor were able to be a part of that memorable milestone! Video to come!

(FYI: Panda, it turns out, detests avocado but will tolerate banana. Upon further review since returning home we have proved that she gets downright excited for rice cereal. We'll have to retry green things at a later date...perhaps she simply wasn't ready.)

Here we are on the plane on the way out. They had a spare seat for us so we brought on the car seat and she slept the whole way there...amazing!




The best seat in the house!
