Baby Swenson Has Arrived!

I know I'm going to hear it from Jessica on this photo, but you can believe that she went through one tough delivery.
G-Pa Dave with Daddy Wills and sweet baby Ezra.
Quite possibly the most precious and adorable baby ever born.

Jessica began contractions in earnest on Weds. morning...picking up through out the day. She went full on around midnight and delivered by 9:53 am. This makes it sound easy...it was not. It started out as a home birth and quickly changed to a hospital visit. Which was a really good thing the midwife recognized this early and packed us up and we all went to Kaiser in Walnut Creek. The team was spectacular and Mama and baby are healthy and recovering. G-Ma and G-Pa may have aged at least a decade on this one.

Afternoon Birthday Party


So do you see a theme in my life?  We have declared that after 2009 is over....no more clothesline jokes.

Can you have a Reverse Surprise Party?

This is a REALLY bad photo, but if your eyesight is as bad as mine, you can't tell!
Dana & Cindy
The young ladies looking as cute as ever!
Diane and Susan.....total glitz!


Fabulous centerpiece made by Margaret
Dave and I figured out how to do this with only one call to Diane!
All set up and ready to go...

Yes you can! I was a hostess at the Cornerstone Women's Christmas Dinner & Concert. I invited 7 people and told them not to talk about it because I could only invite a few. Some of the ladies just went with it, others couldn't bear not knowing...very funny. But there was a big celebration as each lady arrived!

The food was fabulous and the concert was great!
