Introducing Gus

Our little boy arrived last Saturday 4.24 at 11:47 am, weighing in at 8.6 lbs. We are thrilled and completely besotted. Welcome to the world, Gus Xavier Malachy McCourt. 

Cherry Blossoms

We went for a lovely walk in the park and the magnificent, gorgeous cherry blossom trees were in full bloom. Bring on Spring!

One day...

At 38 weeks pregnant, the idea of getting into a swimsuit is a scary one indeed. But one day, one day...if I can get my "uni-thigh" back into shape, I would like to dream about wearing one of these. A girl can dream...

Cool Nursery Poster

Check out these cool posters from L'Afiche Moderne, fun way to brighten up a nursery as seen on Apartment Therapy's ohdeedo. 

Thank you cards

My dear friend S, threw me a baby shower over the weekend, she is the consummate hostess, everything from the decor to the food was superb. I especially loved the way she decorated the table. I was really very touched with the generosity of my friends and family. 

And another dear friend of mine and wonderful designer, Loo, is working on my thank you cards and baby announcements. Here is what she has so far for thank you cards. I've grown up with both of these amazing women and their real and true friendships are something I cherish and treasure.
