Friday I'm in Love

Three hours is a huge difference. After going to bed at 4, too many cocktails served by mustachioed men who look like they belonged in barbershop quartets. 4 very much felt like 1 and 10 very much felt like 7.

I had to dust off the groggies and meet my new niece, ArMarBar who was staying in times square. She is already part of the young jet set at 10 weeks.  We got off the train one stop too early and wandered through the square at day time which is much different, less crowded, more faded so that our friend who came with us had a comparison of what would happen later. I was a little nervous since this was the first intro between family and the boyfriend.

We met mom and mandu at her hotel, for a second before she had to run off to meetings. The rest of us decided to enjoy the weather at a French restaurant across the street. ArMarBar was on a sleeping jag that just wouldn't quit. Slept through lunch, the crowds of people in the MoMA gift shop, and the begining of our trek through Central Park. I have been to New York a few times, but never to Central Park not sure why. Pre smart phone and gps I think. (Yes it had been a while) i had no idea is was so close to MoMA.

The following are pictures from Central Park. We took pictures of the babe a la Amelie, but those will come at another time.

I thought at first that it would be hard to be the "cool" aunt to all of the the nieces and nephews, but after talking with Arden about our day at Central Park, she is very chatty when she is awake, something I said must have been funny and I got some of her first giggles out of her.
