WELCOME!

This blog shares the happenings of Chris, Lacey and Reese O'Donnell. We didn't used to have that much to say about ourselves which is why posts were few and far between, but now we have a little person that will give us a lot to talk about. The blog will also feature Lacey's Random Finds - event planning, paper love, pretty crafty things, etc.


ENJOY!

A Non-Reese Post (really!?)

One of Lacey's big events just took place in NYC. It was so hard to leave Reese (especially since it was the first time) but the events were amazing and everything turned out really great. Here is a little bit about it including some pics of the rooms, floral and place settings.

Did I mention I stayed here?

Four Seasons New York!!

And did events here?

Carnegie Hall!!
We had a beautiful dinner in a private room at Carnegie, followed by a performance of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra with...Itzhak Perlman!



And here??

I arranged a private tour of the Museum of Modern Art and a lovely dinner at the adjacent restaurant The Modern.


Reese - FOUR MONTHS

The Reese girl is 4 months old!! Here are some fun facts about her this month:



  • She is a loud yawner, which delights her Mom to no end. Every yawn is noisy, with extra sighs and drama. It is wonderful. I need to catch a really good one on video.

  • She rolls everywhere and everyway - front to back, back to front.

  • She is getting strong. Between the rolling and strength in her legs, she moves all over her mat and crib.

  • She just started sleeping on her stomach

  • She is grasping and taking a lot more interest in rattles, music, stuffies and other toys.

  • She did great at her 4 month doctor visit. Her latest stats are: Height: 25.5 inches (90th percentile) and Weight: 14 pounds, 1 ounce (61st percentile).

Irish Girl

Kiss Me I'm Irish Indeed!!!




Giggle Fit

This is HILARIOUS! I laugh every time I see it. Every time (which is like 100 times)! Not sure what was so funny, but she is almost delirious. Enjoy!




Random Pics from Last Week

Here are a couple of darling pictures I took last week, and then some even cuter and cooler ones Spencer took with his new iphone app.



The Baby Whisperer

There was debate among the boys as to which of them was the (self proclaimed) baby whisperer. Nathan might be it. Reese feel asleep in his arms burying herself in his chest. Too cute. And good work Nathan!




More Cousins

Reese is one lucky girl. She got to spend a whole week with her cousins when the Arizona Youngs came to visit and spent their spring break with us. I thought the boys (teenagers) would think she was cute and all, but I had no idea how much they would LOVE her. They fought all week over who got to hold her and play with her. I am certain she is going through withdrawl, wondering where those boys went. We LOVED having the whole family here!!

Not sure how I didn't get a good pic with Uncle Ryan or Aunt Jenny since we can't talk about loving and spoiling Reese without them too.
