Cate's Baptism

To say it was a beautiful weekend is an understatement. We had the best time with family, and the best weather. I bet last weekend was the final warm one of the year. Saturday the Scully's drove down from NY and we had a fabulous dinner. Nick made his manicotti and baked ziti, we had salad, caprese, fresh bread and good wine- doesn't get much better than that! Josie warmed up to great grandpa right away, so we were pretty proud of her.

Aunt Jesse's flight got all screwed up so she was late coming in, but we let Josie stay up late to visit with her once she arrived. Took her just a second, but I know Josie recognized her voice and she gave her a hug. She never forgets Aunt Jesse!

Aunt Marsha is the baby whisper

good thing Josie brought her orange to church!

love his pic- she looks like a baby doll

putting salt in her mouth- wasn't too 

sure about that one...

After the ceremony we headed to Lindy's for Brunch. That is our favorite restaurant in Columbus and it happens to be right around the corner from the church. Nick made a reservation and we had a private room upstairs. It was so nice and we finally got a chance to visit with one another. Josie, Chloe and Frankie had a great time being together. They did get in trouble for having a dance party in the hallway, but they were so well behaved and Josie ate an entire platter of grapes. No lie. 

what!! Josie is actually smiling AND looking. 

on the way home- didn't stand a chance

everyone was pooped

Special thanks to everyone who came to celebrate Cate with us. We had such a nice weekend and hope to see everyone again soon! 

Phone Dump

Well, things certainly haven't slowed down around here, and unfortunately, my time at home is now limited. We are busy and Josie had some congestion a few weeks ago, and then of course Cate did. I don't think Josie passed it on, probably more of an infant thing, but damn she has so much mucous in her nose, her snorting and carrying on keeps everyone up at night, well everyone but Josie of course.

Thank god last night was a better. It was the best night we've had in almost 2 weeks and she slept for 6.5 hours. The last few weeks, shes kept herself up because she has a hard time breathing, then she wants to eat, then I need to try and suck the snot out, then need to rock her to sleep, and repeat 2 hours later...I knew once her nasal passages cleared she would start to sleep longer again. Thank the lord.

Some of these pics are really old- well as in September.

A few weeks ago the girls and I headed to Mansfield for the afternoon- Josie told me she needed her glasses, so I gave her a pair of mine.
