Abbi and her girls in NYC

ready or not, here we come!

lunch at chelsea market before shopping in chinatown

grand central station was a highlight, especially "whisper corner"

yummy mexican dinner at Toloache and show #1, Matilda.  i LOVED it.

steel magnolias?  hee hee.

had fun getting a "blow out" with carkey

top of the rock

beautiful view of central park

unplanned lunch at rockefeller cafe, outside right next to the ice skaters

perfect!

show #2 was... just beautiful!  i think barbara and carley and mom all liked this one the best.

dinner at Le Cirque Cafe.  

truly amazing.  thank you abbi!

the owner of le cirque, Sirio Maccioni

dinner was so much fun that we lost track of time and showed up for show #3 (Phantom of the Opera) about 15 minutes late.   oops!  fortunately, it was our least favorite show.  incredible talent and beautiful music, just no comparison to the other two

sunday morning brunch at tavern on the green

pedicab tour of central park on a GORGEOUS spring day

my cheeks hurt from smiling so much

it was pretty perfect

last but not least, frozen hot chocolate at serendipity III

a fabulous whirlwind weekend.  

THANK YOU ABBI!!!

Spring Break 2015

Pat and Laurel enjoyed a tour of Philadelphia with some friends from the chapel on April 2nd.  I hope I get to go next time!

But this time I got to hang out with my little buddy at his first day of "farm school"

Miss Lydia is the best teacher.  Look how big T-bone is!?

we love fernbrook farm!

meanwhile, this boy is testing his boundaries all. day. long.  lots of "talks" on the little couch in mommy and daddy's room.  

good friends and goooooooofy daddy

batting practice

yummy lunch in chicago airport.  freddy started to feel a little puny.

buddy and kissy picked up laurel and freddy at the memphis airport and took them to clarksdale

cousin time!!!

i spent the night in tupelo and then flew right back to philly the next day.  got some things done around the house.  when we found out we aren't moving (that's right, we'll be in jersey for another year), i agreed to let the kids change rooms and separate the bunk beds

freddy rebounded for a fabulous spring break in madison, mississippi

these two are not afraid!  thank you buddy and kissy and ms becky!
