Southfield, MI 48034 www.mbjewelrydesign.com 4 • MARCH 2003 • STYLE A'f l'I -II J he joy of parenthood begins at any age. Just ask David and Elyse Foltyn, ages 47 and 44. The Foltyns, of Birmingham, recently gave birth to twin daughters, Abby and Lily. Now they have a total of five children including Lindsay Foltyn, 18, Molly Foltyn, 14, and Mara Essick, 15. (Mara, shown in the photo above, is hold- ing the twins.) David, an attorney with Honigman Miller Schwartz & Cohn, and Elyse Essick, chief marketing officer of Munder Capital, are part of a trend — having babies over 40. The birth of a baby (or babies) is a wonderful event at any age. Decorating the nursery is also exciting. Let me introduce you to Amy Coe, who just landed a partnership with Target for her collection of children's bedding and accessories. To chronicle all those childhood memories meet Gail Rader of Creative Pages Plus in Berkley. This new specialty store will show you how to preserve your memories in a keepsake scrapbook. To keep fit, how about yoga with baby? It's a great peace- seeking and baby-bonding experience. Writer Lynne Schreiber lets us peek inside this new baby and morn class. And if babies are not in your life at the moment, we have a story about cars. Read about Mollie Rattner Engel, an automo- tive designer specializing in color and materials for Ford. I first heard about Mollie from her morn, Bonnie, a play- wright; and Sue Marx, a film producer, introduced me to Amy Coe. The best suggestions come from you, our readers. Please contact me about future story ideas. My e-mail is cschwartz@oaklandstyle.com Let's look forward to spring. Sincerely, Carla COVER: Elyse and David Foltyn with twins Abby and Lily.
