Newest family members having First Christmas

In the run-up to their first Christmas, little Daisy was introduced to Santa Claus by big sister Lucy, while 8-month-old Oliver got the lowdown on the holiday from big brothers Charlie and Austin. 

Merry Christmas to the newest members of our family!

Oliver receives the sacrament of Baptism

Oliver Theodore, son of Vivien and CJ, was baptized on Saturday, Aug. 3, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Scarsdale, N.Y. Brother-in-law John and CJ's sister Grace are the godparents.

Three-month-old Oliver was calm, cool and collected through the service, never crying or fussing. He remained in good spirits through the lovely reception his parents hosted at the nearby Moscato Restaurant.

Pictured here along with Vivien, CJ and Oliver are Vivien's mother, Kathy; sister Genevieve with her husband, John, and daughter Beatrice; and brother Patrick with his wife, Kelsey, holding G&J's son Liam. The gathering also included Oliver's great-grandmother Celestine, grandfather Ted, grandparents Corey and Ellen, and other aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends. 

A grand summer gathering on Long Island

Kathy's summer house has been filled with family this summer. Genevieve, John and their children - Beatrice, Jack and Liam - are spending the season at their house nearby. Vivien, CJ and theirs - Charlie, Austin and little Oliver - are visiting from London and staying at the Fair Play cottage. It's three-month-old Oliver's first trip stateside. 

For a few days in late July, Dan and Julie stayed with Kathy, enjoying her hospitality and the chance to meet Oliver and the rest of the gang. Robert was there for part of the time, but CJ was back working in Europe for that week. Also in the photo above is CJ's cousin Allie, who was staying with Vivien and helping watch the kids.

Vivien, CJ welcome baby Oliver!

Breaking news from our correspondent Kathy in London:

"Oliver Theodore arrived on April 23rd at 8 pounds 8 ounces. Both Mom and baby are doing very well. I'm lucky to be here with them." 

Proud parents Vivien and CJ, and big brothers Charlie and Austin, are looking forward to introducing Oliver to all his stateside relatives this summer.
