Baby Dallas is here!!!

I have a nephew! Dallas Hawk Licari arrived just after noon today, and we are so excited to have a new member of the Licari clan. He was due last Friday, but he just wasn't ready to come out so he decided to stay put and grow...and grow...and grow. He grew to NINE pounds TWO ounces, 22 inches long! Kelly's doctor induced labor this morning around 8 a.m. Mama and baby are doing well. I'll post more photos later. For now, here's a sneak peak of Leo's new buddy. Look at all that hair and those adorable little lips!

It's official, I'm old...You gotta love Shoebox cards.


My 30th birthday came and went, and I survived. I received this UNBELIEVABLE flower delivery from Jay's dad and step mom. The lilies smell so sweet...I love them!

Turning 30 was actually a lot of fun thanks to Jay, Leo, friends, and family. Jay took the day off to be with me on Friday. We went to Biaggi's for lunch with our good friends Michelle and Andy and their daughter Peyton (Leo's future wife). They gave me these BEAUTIFUL flowers and treated us to lunch. You guys are the best! Thanks for a great day - looking forward to Tuesday!

Yesterday I headed down to Kentucky/Ohio for my good friend Liz's bridal shower. We celebrated her upcoming wedding and my birthday last night at Longworth's in Mt. Adams.

I brought my little Nikon point and shoot camera out with me last night. I may post some of those images later this week. For now, I just want to thank all of my friends and family for making me feel so special on my birthday (and all throughout the year). I love you guys!

The BIG 3-0

It's coming guys...good-bye to my twenties and hello to the next chapter in my life: my thirties! My birthday celebration began about 2 weeks ago when my mother-in-law threw me a party. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Leo and Lexi on The Hog...

Dee had a chocolate chip ice cream cake for me. Underneath the flames you can see the message, "Happy 30th Faye"
I think Lexi was eyeing the fire extinguisher in this shot...

I needed all the help I could get blowing out the candles because Dee bought the kind that re-light :O
Lexi's first taste of 'candle frosting'
Friday is the big day. I guess turning 30 isn't so bad. I'm pretty lucky because I have a perfect husband, an awesome group of friends, a great family, and, of course, I have a precious little boy.
