At Short Hills Mall, Mommy and Austen met with Kelly and Riley to see the stunning clothes at Neiman Marcus and eat yummy seafood at Legal Seafood. Austen kept trying to run away from Mommy but fortunately Kelly was there to help catch her. [Mommy has purchased an Elmo baby leash and plans to use it if Daddy will let her.]
During the trip, Kelly teased Mommy about her love of Fendi pocketbooks — trying to trick her into believing there was a 50% off sale at the designer — and Mommy told everyone about how she once surprised Grandma Judi with a Fendi during a shoping excursion on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Austen will have that special purse when she’s older because Grandpa Earl let Mommy take it for her.
