Ferrara's in Florida

Sable & Aunt Ginger went for a brisk walk in the cool New York air. Aunt Ginger saw some hot shopping opportunities and Sable didn't seem to mind - it didn't take much shopping to poop little Sable out - whooo, all those colors and noises, it's a good thing her comfortable bear outfit kept her nice and cozy. Sable woke up when Mimi called and had to do some talkin'... As you can see, Sable loves talking to her Mimi After the phone call with Mimi Sable was ready for some play time. The swing is her favorite.

Aunt Ginger came to visit bearing a toy rat Juliana wanted to share with cousin Sable. Well, it's Sable's new favorite toy!!!

For all those who are far and can't hear Sable's sweet voice, sit back & enjoy this little clip of Sable playing with her toys...she's really enjoying herself!!!

Gina Chong-You & Baby Jayden Rachel, Melissa, Rhoda I was too busy tending to Sable to take any photos at the Ladies' Getaway so I "borrowed" some from Melissa's blog. Gina, Rhoda and Rachel have been close friends of ours from when I attended grad school at UF seven years ago (wowwww, has it really been seven years already??)

We've had some "only in New Orleans" experiences but this was truly one of those "only in NYC" ones. A few weeks ago we invited our neighbor over for dinner. Ruth, a remarkable lady who overcame much adversity and atrosity in her lifetime thus far of 87 years, is still as lovely as the pictures she showed us in her prime. After meeting her husband in a concentration camp and spending three years as a prisoner, they were liberated to Sweden after WWII where they married. Shortly thereafter they moved to Jackson Heights, NY, where Ruth still resides. For almost 3 years we've known Ruth as the "'young' older woman who wears Pumas" but only recently have we had the privelege to get to know her. What an honor it has been.

This Friday was extra special because two of my girlfriends came over to play. Upon waking, I found Stella playing with my toys in the living room. We went on a walk in my double-stroller, check it out. Then Julia paid me a visit this afternoon. I just love hanging out with my friends!
