Easter Reunion

Easter was so nice this year. Everyone was home and so happy to be with each other. Seamus loved the whole thing-- his Easter basket from his godmother, Aunt Caroline, hunting Maw-Maw's Easter eggs, and being with his adoring bevy of aunts, Uncle Michael and his hero, Uncle Miles. Only thing is that it goes by too fast! We went to Easter Sunday Mass at Holy Name where Fr. Paul was the celebrant, which was really special. And Mom and Dad fixed a delicious dinner, as usual-- nothing a Stevens kid loves more than BBQ steaks and mashed potatoes! Harry, the worn out Daddy with a new stressful job, took a nap while Seamus blew bubbles with Pops, Mimi and Aunt Mel on the porch. I am so blessed to have such an amazing family that is such a joy to be around!

First Crawfish Boil

Seamus had a great time at his FIRST (of many I am sure) crawfish boil, although it was pretty cold. We ended up having to eat the crawfish in the garage because it was so chilly, but everyone still had a great time. It has become a family tradition to boil crawfish each year around Easter. This was our 5th year. Harry outdid himself-- the crawfish were yummy!

Irish Italian Baby Conference March 17, 2007

Seamus Hardin and Cristian Berardi celebrate St. Patrick's Day together. I am still amazed at the overwhelming joy it brings me to see our children together after Paola and I have been friends since about 5th grade. Look at what can come out of of almost 20 years of friendship!

New to blogging

This is a new project for me in an attempt to not only post pictures, but also share what is going on in the lives of the NOLA Hardin Family. Wish me luck!
