I remember visiting my sister in Detroit years ago.  I was pleasantly surprised even back then as to how cosmopolitan, fun and interesting the city was.    This time around, Detroit definitely didn’t let me down.    Large segments of the city are being revitalized.  And there’s lots to do, from art museums to great restaurantsContinue reading “D-Town”

I can already picture Adam as a little boy getting excited to fly and to see airplanes.  Here is a little preview.    Our flight was delayed two hours but we had a long dinner and by the time we were ready to take off Adam fell asleep and stayed asleep the whole flight! WhenContinue reading “Airports & Airplanes”

Adam has a new cousin! Beautiful little Isla Noor.   So we flew to Detroit to check her out and get our cuddles in and to celebrate Isla’s older brother Roman’s third birthday and to spend time with Aunt Sandra and Uncle Shawn.  Grandma YuYu was visiting too!   I can’t believe Roman is alreadyContinue reading “New Cousins and Older Cousins”

When I was home this weekend in New York I came across my mom’s yearbook from her senior year of high school.  Looking through I was surprised at how dressed up people were for both their senior pictures and during school days. Fur coats and pants and ties!   Beautiful Gretch!     These secretariesContinue reading “Yearbooks”

Who do you think this adorable baby is?                               For all of you who guessed Adam – wrong!  This is my sister Daphne at two months old.  I was amazed when I looked at baby pictures this weekend at my mom’sContinue reading “Guess who?”

The pictures that Bart took after Daphne’s wedding came this week!  They are so sweet and it will be so nice to have these pictures to remember Adam at this age.  These are from just two months ago and he already seems so much older!

Thanks Uncle Meej and Aunt Daf!  I am going to be the best Giants fan ever (after Uncle Meej of course)!! –Adam

I still remember when my mom called and told me she was getting a dog.  I was so excited, I had always wanted a dog.  A cute little cuddly dog to sit on my lap…then she told me she was getting a rottweiler.  She told me it was a small rottweiler. Here is Artemis…all 130Continue reading “Gretchen's little puppy”

So this weekend’s trip to New York was the seventh road trip Adam and I have taken that was over a three hours drive.  This one was by far the best.  I always leave as soon as Adam wakes up and eats breakfast.  He takes his morning nap in the car and on the way backContinue reading “Road trips with Adam”

Let’s hear it for New York! Adam and I headed to New York this weekend.  My good friend Denise is getting married and her bridal shower was Saturday night! Adam and I got to Grandma Gertch’s house Friday afternoon and after a quick cuddle we headed off to get a mani/pedi.  The best part wasContinue reading “Big lights will inspire you!”
