Siblings

We took family photos on Father's Day. Here are some of the three angels. The boys actually did well sitting for the pictures. Now we have to work on getting them to look at the camera and smile. In time, in time. But I am happy to have forward progress.

Family traditions

When William was born, Trent and Heather sent us the cutest outfit. It came with a bib, which I have but is not pictured here. It is one of my favorite little outfits and loved dressing William in it. So when Catherine was born I decided to dress her in it too. Here are the two babies in the same outfit....some 6 years later. They look too cute and too similar.

Strike a pose

Catherine, like any girl, has so many cute, cute outfits that we try to put her in something new each day. Here is today's out, complete with hat. She sure is a looker. Dressing her is too fun!

Can you name the baby?

Here are two pictures of two of our children. Can you identify the baby? They do look very similar....makes we wonder what they will look like when they grow up.

Baby 1

Baby 2

You ask...what have you been up to lately?

We are trying to get into the swing of things with three little ones in the house. I must say that they volume level in the house has risen...more than I expected....and it is not from a crying baby. To tell you the truth, I don't know what it is from, but it is loud and we are all adjusting. The boys are still "in love" with Catherine. She is just perfect and has fallen right into place being our baby girl. She has grown dramatically over the past week and a half....at her weight check she weighed in at 8 lbs and 15 oz. Amazing! I am slowly returning to normal life and it feels good. I have forgotten what life is like on the "outside" since I was housebound for about two weeks straight. Here are some recent photos of our past week.

From tonight, just lounging on the coach and smiling at Mommy....from the gas I am sure the doctors would say.

Her first official bath. Catherine's umbilical cord fell yesterday so it was time. And she loved every minute of it.

Possibly one of my favorites of her.

Wearing her bows that the boys picked out for her.

Sleeping in her moses basket....what an angel.

Playing with big brother Paulie. Look at how similar their profiles are...right down to the shape of their noses and eyes. So sweet.

Holding hands with her brothers...too precious.

Papa holding sweet Catherine.

Our new building crew

Before Catherine arrived, Daddy decided it was time to put up the playset. The boys, of course, were all for it and decided that they were going to help. William built his own house out of the cardboard boxes while Paulie helped out as much as possible. Here are some photos of my two construction workers. I will try to get some photos of the completed playset up....soon.

We welcome Catherine Kay Capozzoli

On Tuesday, June 1, 2010, Kevin and I welcomed our daughter, Catherine Kay Capozzoli, into our family. She was born at 3:05PM and weighed 8.0 lbs even and was 20 1/2 inches tall. Her middle name is in namesake for me and my mother, Tracy Kay and Tamara Kay.

From birth she had a strong cry, but did not cry alot. She has continued with this pattern and is the most calm and gentle baby. She only cries when getting her bottom changed or when having a bath. The boys are in love with their baby sister and can't get enough of her. They both want to hold her, kiss her and help out Mommy and Daddy with whatever Catherine needs. It is wonderful to see the pure love for her in their eyes.

We are all trying to settle into a routine at home knowing that this routine is driven strictly by Catherine. And we are very happy to oblige all of her needs. Here are some photos of Catherine from the past few days. Enjoy looking at her because she just gets cuter and cuter everyday.

The proud big brother....so excited to hold his baby sister.

Paulie...the little, big brother....holding Catherine. Sometimes he gets so excited holding her we have to have him take a break. He is too cute!

Gaga holding Catherine. She resembles William in the face and Paul in the profile.

Some beautiful flowers for Mommy, Daddy and Catherine from Gaga, Papa and the boys. The colors are so vivid I had to take a picture of them.

A sweet moment between brother and sister that I was so lucky to catch. A precious moment.
