Happy Birthday to my Dear Sweet Sister, Amy!We were lucky to have her here two weeks ago and we celebrated her birthday early. What fun to see her again! She was here for a conference with the non-profit organization she works for in New York. My mom and I went to be with her, learning a lot about a little know women's bleeding disorder called von Willebrand disease. It was very interesting, especially because hemophilia runs in our family, and despite the serious topic, we had such fun being together! We drank wine and talked, had lots of coffee and good food!
Later on in the weekend, we spent some time together as a family, went to the park, laid out in the sun, had lunch at the mall... All stuff we love to do!
Even though she has a regular day job, she is an artist-by-night, her true passion. She is represented by the Monya Rowe Gallery and is amazingly talented. I'm lucky to have a few pieces of my own from her which I truly treasure. She was also recently published in Time Out New York Magazine as part of their "Great Walks 2008" feature. Her article is here, a very good one, if I do say so myself!
She is back in New York again and we already miss her! Happy, happy birthday, Amy - hope you have a great day!!

We did have a great time with Amy! (I'm glad you did a post, I didn't get very many good photos.)
It was a good time at the conference, and a great birthday party at your house! (thanks!)
I'm so happy I got to spend some time with both of my lovely, sweet daughters!

Girlfriends,
Sure enough we did have way too much fun together.
Seemed like a good time for a wash an wax on Jen's Jet (with frog).
Miss you all.
