Chloe’s off today but Shane has school so we decided to come to NYC for some food and shopping! First stop: Baz bagel. After getting over the shock of paying $17 for my sliver of smoked salmon, cream cheese and tomatoes on everything bagel, we set down to eat, savoring every moment with this beautiful girl on the street of Little Italy.

My MIL’s Belated Mother’s Day lunch in Pal Park. 

Shane came down with the flu last week and had fever for 5 days and he also shared it with me. I originally had planned on having my MIL over and cooking but I just started to function normal again so I couldn’t… Instead, after church we went to Nyack in the afternoon and picked up sushi for dinner. 

It takes a lot of pleading to kids to dress up and sit with me for photos and asking Andrew to shoot. And the photoshoot took less than 10 min.

Until we meet again!

My Aunt from California and my cousin Tony and his fiancé from VA are visiting us this weekend. SO So happy to see them again after so many years!!

Today Chloe blew us all away with her drum skills. She just started playing a little less than a year ago and joined this band just 6 weeks ago. I was so excited and so proud of how much she’s learned in such short period of time!! Rock on, Chloebear!!

We just happened to have so many apples in the house, so I made a big pot of apple sauce (not pictured) using 30 large fuji apples and also made two apple cakes which Shane help me with.
