Grandpa's (and Gwen's) Birthday!

Last night we went to C.I. Shenanigans Restaurant in Tacoma to celebrate Grandpa Ryan's birthday. All the O'Donnells were there! (Except the ones that weren't, of course.) Thelma, Jack, Connie, Sara, Ethan, Chris, Myself, and Gwen. Everything was delicious! Gwen had such a good time with everyone - the waitstaff included. But I think she had the most fun with her Aunt Sara who walked with her and read to her all night.

Gwen was so tired she is still sleeping right now! (8:30 is majorly sleeping in for my little early bird) She and Daddy are going to have fun this morning because I got called for a sub position. It will be my first day as a teacher! Well, a substitute teacher in the resource room. I am only working for a few hours and then Gwen and I are on a mission to find a good daycare on Mercer Island or maybe Bellevue so that Daddy doesn't have to watch her whenever I work (kind of defeats the purpose of two people working).

We do have two excellent grandparents who have volunteered to help out, unfortunately, neither one will move to Mercer Island so I need someone for these last minute calls. Times like these I wish that Chris wasn't doing so well here and we could move down south :). But he is kicking butt, so I guess we have to stay.

Oh how I love Gwen! It was so fun to see you all last night and we are looking forward to the pumpkin patch this weekend. :) Can't wait to hear about the sub job! See you soon.
