Our one and only daughter, Catriona, born 24-Mar-90. Very artsy and literate.
Pictures from Catriona's 8th birthday party on 27-Mar-98, showing her
opening some of the presents brought along and blowing out the candles on
her side of the birthday cake. She shared her birthday with Danny so he
had half the cake.
Catriona's first communion was on 23-May-98, at Our Lady of the Lake,
Lake Oswego, OR. Father Rock Sassano presided over the ceremonies.
Catriona with us and the two boys at her first communion
After the ceremony we went back to the apartment where we had a meal with
our good friends David and Mitzi Keating and their two boys Ryan and Danny.
A good evening was had by all.
Catriona and the pumpkin head she made at school.
This was the first attempt to get a picture of Catriona in her Brownie
vest. Guess who wanted to get in on the act. Take 2 was more successful.
For her birthday Catriona wanted a pinata (pretend there's a ~ over the
'n'). This is a Mexican thing, which is a sort of cardboard animal which
you stuff with candies, then each takes turns to batter it with a stick,
whilst blindfolded. When the thing bursts and it's inards get spilled thare's
a free-for-all. The kids enjoyed it... .
On the left is Catriona' school picture from October 1999 (told you I
was getting behind!)
On the right is her 11th birthday. Colin was away that night so I deputized
for him.
