Pumpkin Perch

I woke up this morning to a rotten pumpkin and was so happy I took these pics when I did! Yesterday, our pumpkin was in great condition, as you can see...today it was decaying and leaking pungent pumpkin juice. I'm just happy it made it to Halloween. Note to self, pumpkins do not have a long shelf life.

Pumpkin Patch

Picking out the perfect pumpkin is no joke. It takes some skill and a whole lotta patience. You have to find the pumpkin with the right color, shape and size. Most of all, its got to have a stem. Who wants a stemless pumpkin? Mark and I ventured out to a nearby pumpkin patch last weekend to find our first ever pumpkin. Wish I took more pics but selecting the perfect pumpkin took priority. Looking forward to baking the seeds later this week!

Window Shopping

Just a few blocks from my apartment is the one of most unique, interesting shops in all of Miami. It's called Frida Kahlo after the famous Mexican painter. The store carries an eclectic mix of apparel, jewelry, art, body lotions and random nick nacks. I stepped in the other day while doing some window shopping and the sales woman was nice enough to let me snap a few quick photos.

Meet Mathias

Now here is one little ball of energy. Meet Mathias - son of my colleague Chad and his wonderful wife Bibi.  While playing several rounds of chase-Mathias-around-the-room last weekend at the Viva Fashion Event, I was able to snap a few quick pics. This one is my favorite, mostly because of how big he is smiling. The background looks pretty cool too without any editing.

Sidewalk Supper @ Ra

We made a decision tonight. Must go to Ra Sushi more often. This place has the best Spicy Miso Soup. Who even knew such a thing exists? We also ordered the Spicy Tuna Bowl (pictured below) and were seriously impressed by the large amount of tuna they give you. The edamame was a big hit with Rusty. Dogs can eat soy beans, right? All in all, great meal, better company. Love ya sis.

Lily Time

I think a fight almost broke out during brunch the other day over who was going to hold Baby Lily next. Who knew a bunch of 20-somethings would be so gaga for a baby! But just look at her. How can you resist?

Proud parents Victoria and Nick invited a group of us to brunch at JB's in Deerfield Beach. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. JB's is right on the beach so you get a cool breeze and a spectacular view of the ocean and pier. It was great catching up with old friends and of course, seeing how much Lily has grown in just two months.

Morning View

On my run around Brickell Key this morning, I bumped into my colleague Chad (from Brickell Life) who was snapping a panorama shot with his iPhone of the beautiful sunrise over the bay. Chad sent me the photo when we got into the office today and I love it so much, I had to post.

The water looked particularly blue and glossy this morning. Have to admit, this view makes waking up at 6:00 a.m. not all that bad. Be on the look out for more amazing sunrise pics from Chad at http://brickell-life.blogspot.com/.
