New York Baby!

Ellen's cousin, Stephanie is graduating from Syracuse Fashion Design school this year and each year they put on a fashion show to showcase a collection from each of the graduationg seniors.  Ellen's aunt & uncle Susie & Mike (Stephanie's parents) drove out there on Friday with a few other passengers in tow:  Joey (Steph's brother), Cousins Ellen & Leah and Aunts Debbie & Julie.  It was a packed van, but we had a blast.  Stephanie's collection was amazing.  Just take a look for yourself.  My pictures aren't as good as the runway ones so check em out at this site:

But here's a little video I took.  Sorry for all of the screaming - nah, we weren't proud of her at all ;) She was also 1 of 12 chosen to have her collection shown at a fashion show in New York City in June.  Woo hoo, way to go Stephi!  

Hot Mamas!  All dressed and ready to go to Stephi's show but wait...where's Mike?  Oh yeah, he's telling Joey we're all waiting for him...again!!!  That's a common occurance the whole trip :)

The proud family of future designer Stephanie (Susie, Rachel & Joey) - but wait, where's Mike?  And yes, Steph made the dress she's wearing too.

Fashion show Friday and wine tasting along Cayuga Lake on Saturday - lots of fun!  Here's the whole gang:  Joey, Ellen, Stephanie, Thirsty Owl, Susie, Rachel, Leah, Debbie, Julie & Chris.  But wait - where's Mike again?

You'd think Billbo took this shot!

Beautiful waterfall (can't remember the long name) along lake Cayuga.  We had such a wonderful weekend.  Thanks for inviting us all, Sue!
