Our first Mother's Day

Our little family spent a wonderful first Mother's Day together yesterday. Even the normal weekend activities like grocery shopping and bathing Charlotte seemed special! We did take a special trip out to Arrington Vineyards with our good buds Alicia, Dan, Faith Carol and David for a little wine tasting. Kix Brooks was there again, and this time he pronounced Charlotte to be "bad news" (we assume because she will be such a heartbreaker). So that's Charlotte's new nickname -- "Bad News".

We had one moment of confusion and anxiety last night when we spotted a large, dark brown spot at the bottom of Charlotte's nightgown. After I pointed it out to Corey and we momentarily panicked, I sniffed it and determined that it was merely some chocolate sauce that had apparently spilled onto Charlotte as I ate my ice cream while holding her. Whoops. In our defense, it did look a little like dried blood or something else awful. After all, Alfred Hitchcock used chocolate syrup in "Psycho" to represent the blood in the famous shower murder scene. Guess I should be a little more careful with my desserts.

Here are some photos from our Mother's Day activities:
