Fiona the Flowergirl

Kristy, our old nanny, got married in March and Haley got to be a flowergirl. Haley did great walking down the aisle, she intentionally placed each petal and took her role very seriously. The reception was at Graylyn in Winston Salem and it was breathtaking. I loved the details that Kristy and Russ picked out...you can check out the photographer's blog to see what I mean. Also, you may want to check out Kristy's portraits if you are into some serious eye candy!

Yeah, right

Did I say "stay tuned for pics next week" last time? Was that a month ago? Am I the slackest blogger ever? Ok, so I am going to try to start posting more regularly...maybe not always pics, but at least a note of the funnies that put stitches in my side on a regular basis!

Back track...Haley's birthday...4 years old, 3 adults, 16 little girls, rain...disaster! I vow to never have a party this big again. It is just too much for me (and Haley) to handle. All these little munchkins took over my house and there were many episodes of crying and battles over who was to be first, win, or whatever 4 year olds can whine about! Actually, it was not all that bad...but Scott and I were utterly exhausted when it was over. For the record, I LOVE the idea of age equals number of guests and we will be enforcing that next year for sure!

She takes after her mother's sweet tooth..Get.It.Girl!!!

Haley's class birthday celebration

Today I took cookies to Haley's class for her birthday! She is going to turn 4 tomorrow and I am looking forward to spending the day with her since Charlie and Scott are going to Duke. Here are some pics from today, I will have more from her actual birthday party this weekend...get ready for many little princesses!

Look who's 60!

Libby!!! We threw a surprise 60th birthday party for my mom last weekend and it was, in fact, a Big surprise! She had no idea that when she walked into my den carrying a big jar of sun-dried tomatos, she was walking into a room filled with many of her close friends and family! It was a fun night and a great way to celebrate my mom!

How many teeth does a 3 year old have?

Do you know? I didn't. The answer is 20! Poppy came to visit Haley's class this month for their dental week. He showed the class his coat, special glasses and gloves that he wears in the office. The kids loved feeling the gloves and watching him count Haley's teeth. He finished with a story about going to the dentist. Haley was overjoyed...she loved having him there and felt so special that he came just for her!

Charlie is famous!

Charlie made it on T.V. today!!! Here are some links to his appearance on GMA and another associated press clip:

He is wearing a light blue shirt at the end of the video...Mimi is in the background too!

Michael Anthony Catanese III

"Mac" was born yesterday...barely! He arrived at 11:58 pm and shares the same birthday with his big sister, Caroline. I snapped a pic of the family as Kelly and Michael headed to the hospital. Kelly looked way to comfortable to be having a baby just 7 hours later!!! Caroline spent the night with us and I could hardly contain myself when she woke in the morning to tell her that she was a big sister!

God is so Good!
