finally- the last day with my chi friends

yall this is so long ago, it seems silly to post
but i have some pics so here they are:





here you have seen the spoils of our last day shopping in soho and china town. we got to this store that had the slippers ro has on and aly got bleary eyed. everything was so sparkly and cheap. she kept it to a minimum and just got some silk asian inspired flip flops. very cute.

the other nutty thing is we went to washington square park for ro to play a little (she was such a champ shopping all day- it was real cold). anywho there was this dad chasing his daughter on a play structure and he wasn't watching where he was going and he hit head on to this part of the structure. he went DOWN and i mean THUD. it was all very scary. we all just watched in shock and this man (who i think was a doctor) went over to him to make sure he was ok. i think mostly he was embarrassed, but he surely had a minor concussion. the worst part was this little boy went up to him and said "you should have ducked." it was real hard to withold from laughing right then.

all in all their visit was divine and it was sad to say goodbye, but really i didn't have to say it for so long b/c i went to chicago for about a week at the end of march to help them move from their condo to a town house. i got to spend some quality time with rowan (and azad with whom she is enchanted) and aly and nik were able to get ro's room painted purple. their new place is real big and i can't wait to see it when they have finished all the renovations. it is going to be lovely.

i have to go make dinner now. more later.
