Happy Birthday, Catherine!

In Red Creek, NY, lilacs bloom late May. Ours were at their peak on May 20th and Dad brought such a beautiful bouquet to the hospital for me that day, the day Catherine was born.  From that day on, lilacs have reminded me of Catherine :)

Catherine's 1st Christmas: how to keep a baby from getting into all the presents :)

How to move little ones to CT; put them in boxes.

                        Happy Birthday, beautiful Catherine.
