Now Announcing...

So I'm a little late (ok, like 8 monthes late) with sending out birth announcements for RG (as her Daddy and I affectionatley call her), but if you haven't seen it yet, here she is, in all of her strategically covered glory (Yes, I am sure she will hate me for this when she gets older).

Ho Ho Hooo-nooo...

Yes, I'm a little late (just like my christmas cards) but,

Happiest of Holidays

to you and yours from me and mine. I leave you with some fabulous photos from our photo shoot with our pal Shelby. Check out her blog, we made the holiday posting (www.shelbyleigh.com/blog). Cheers,

Kat, Dave, Keegan, Joey, Rowan, Riley

"It's my birthday, now where is my cake?!"

Happiest 4th to our Rowan Kate! We celebrated Rowan's birthday at our house with lots of friends. In total, I had 17 kids running wild in my house, most of which were little girls. Our garden girl/ladybug theme was a hit! We made crowns, bug masks and colored to keep the munchkins tied up while wine kept the mommies sane. Thank you so much to guests who made the afternoon a blast! Including Erin and her troop, my neighbor Karen and her two girls, as well as Aunt Dani, Alexis and Katie. Etta and Amelia, Bents and Isabel, and Jenn and her kids who have become very welcome staples here in the OO house were also in attendance!

And the leaves go down...

On Sunday morning, I woke up to my already wide awake 3 and 6 year old singing in the living room (in their underwear no less) about fall. As far as I know it was completely made up and the only part I really understood was the chorus "And the Leaves go down" (and at that point, they jump up and fall down - ring-around-the-rosy-style). So in honor of their fall song and dance, here are some pictures updated pictures of the kids!

Playing catch up...

Its been a little while since I posted...ok, a LONG while, but with school, church, karate and sports, I feel as if I am infinitley playing catch up. So I bid adieu to summer, as we start to embrace the Fall. (Yes, I am well aware that it is already the middle of October). Cheers everyone!

Happy Birthday Joseph!

From happy baby to lovable toddler to my clever little Kindergarten graduate...Happy Birthday to one of the toughest, most amazing kids ever. I love you Joseph Colin O'Toole. Happy 6th Birthday!
