Monthly Archives: October 2009We all gathered at my brother John and Liz's home for lunch with my dad's cousin Yvonne (in blue) and her friend Mary (in the pink vest) before the big festival of costumes that will occur in a few short hours! It's so nice to have everyone together. Wise owl pumpkins from Martha Stewart Living. Wise ladies excited for Halloween tomorrow! Ali, Um, on a side note may I also mention that your skin looks AMAZING. Secret? Do tell!!! I love how you look with long hair, you are so beautiful These are so cool! At first, I thought you carved them! What a hip mom you are in many ways! So fun to see Gabrielle's cousins Lucia and Henry and Auntie Liz yesterday! Gabrielle is going to have such fun growing up with Lucy! Which one catches your eye first? I feel pretty proud that I pulled this exact page out of Cookie mag for my “style file” loving all of the coats and now YOU post about it! Yea me! Love them all, but my fave is the cream coat. I love number 3!!! I’m loving #3 – esp. the collar! definitely the red one with the high color! I’m on the hunt for a great red, wool coat this year. The red one! I’m in the mood for something new and different for me – and the red one would be just perfect. Thanks for sharing. the leopard print! oooohhh! the RED one. Nice shape, vibrant color, structured. I LOVE IT! #4 I love #3 and when I zoomed in on the details, I realized that it was named Amanda, like myself! How funny! visually the red because it’s the brightest color in the bunch but I keep coming back to the gray on the right. I don’t know why. seems utilitarian with a bit of flair. like an old school military uniform from the revolutionary war or something… I love #1. It has an interesting collar, but despite the wide collar, it still has a narrow waist. I’m only 5’1″ and I prefer slimmer profiles in my coats. The gray will go with anything too! The red is my favorite. And I’m pleased to see it is the most affordable of the options. If only I wasn’t going to be sporting a baby stomach this winter. It's good to be home. Gabrielle has already made the rounds to all Grandpa's favorite grocery stores here in Federal Way, Washington, including Fred Meyer… Metropolitan Market… And H Mart (where they have BEAUTIFUL produce). We took a walk at the Redondo waterfront. Isn't this an incredible hedge? I just kept waiting for Alice and… Wow. I forgot how beautiful it was in Federal Way. I used to live there and we was just there last July. It is always nice to look picture from Washington State. Your daughter is so cute! How fun! I live right near Federal Way – not from here, but I live here now. Rainy day today. that hedge! the food! her little uggs (which i abhor on adults)! such eye candy today. I wish I was eating at your parent’s! Looks YUMMY! You have such a BEAUTIFUL baby girl. It must be so wonderful knowing you had something to do with that So glad you are enjoying your stay Jess. Time at home IS sweet and your parents do have the 411 on the best groceries! It doesn't get old waking up to this view. On our last day in San Francisco, we woke up early and walked to the Ferry Building Marketplace. Gabrielle loves walks! My mom and I enjoyed a bacon & gruyere brioche. And Gabrielle enjoyed Grandma Pati! And watching the trolleys roll by. Grandma Pati babysat Gabrielle… Looks like a fabulous time! Loving the pics!!! You look fantastic too by the way!!! Looks like a fun trip! Love that one of Mom and G – can’t wait to see you!!!! Saturday morning began with a walk over to the San Francisco Modern Museum of Art (where they do not reciprocate with NYC MOMA memberships by the way). While waiting for the museum to open, Grandma Pati, Gabrielle, and I browsed around the SFMOMA Museum Store (aka I found some books I liked and then ordered… Hey Jessica, I like Jeffrey’s plaid shirt! Did you pick it out? Hi Meryl, san francisco seems awesome! thanks for sharing your adventures. enjoy the trip with your adorable babe and lovely guy. I’m lovin the pictures jessica..and enjoy so much just hearing about the places you’ve been to..I especially love the one with jeffrey and gabrielle …too sweet and the one of all three of you strollin the street..and I buy all my cd’s and books from amazon..huge selection and very good prices! I really enjoy following your adventures and think G is about the cutest baby EVER. Seriously. Emergency Spinal Cord..that sounds painful! Jeffrey often shows family pictures in his talks, but it was a special surprise to see this image on the big screen at his seminar in San Francisco. Jeffrey is such an incredible presenter. And everything he talks about is inspirational and real. There's high pride in knowing him. We headed down to Fisherman's Wharf… Looks like you are having a fabulous time! Let me know if you spot any cool baby lines! I agree with you so much, Jeffrey is an incredible and inspirational presenter. I hope he can come to Placentia one day! By the way what are you wearing on 10/20, do you mind sharing? Is that a dress? I love navy blue. 1) love that part of Jeffery’s presentation I hear ya Jeffrey, YUM, my favorite when visiting the west coast! I can really see that Jeffrey was enjoying himself..and I love the fact he incorporated his family in his seminars..would love to hear him one day..your mom looks so pretty in that picture..and that plaid dress is going to look great on you! friends of mine never put their children in a babytub, always straight into the regular bathtub, they swim like fish now Good morning, San Francisco. Lunch at the House of Nanking on Kearny. They serve an incredible flowering hot tea. Gabrielle was more interested in the water. They have delicious food. The maintenance man at the hotel took this picture of me and Gabrielle! Love the picture of Gabrielle silhouetted against the streets of San Fran…lovely! =) Hi Denise, I found your blog via your sister. oh whata view!…that hot tea looks so pretty and the last shot…just beautiful..with little miss wide eyed!! |
