OK – this might not be the prettiest smile you’ve ever seen — but I’m beginning to get used to it. Turns out I needed to lose one of my front teeth early — and the dentist took it out today.   Dad says that I was really brave — little does he know that [...]

It’s the real start of summer.   We were at the pool for the first time today — and it’s already HOT here in Washington.   A good day – we got to see all the motorcycles in town for Rolling Thunder.   Lots of American flags!   Yesterday we went to a baseball game [...]

Buster Posey is in town.   You can imagine what this has done to the general level of excitement in our household.  Yes, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is literally two blocks down the road, but I don’t think my brothers and I could pick Wolf Blitzer out of a lineup.  We can, however, spot [...]

Hope everyone had a great Easter.   The Easter Bunny visited us.   We got some good candy, but also some new threads.   TT and I got some proper football kits (though there is some angst that we’re wearing Man U and Chelsea colors — I think the denizens of Kalorama Park are really none the [...]

Greetings from a non-shutdown Washington DC.  We’re all glad daddy gets to go to work tomorrow; but I think mommy was more worried that DC trash collectors would have stopped.   We make a lot of trash — and some of what Leighton produces, you don’t want lingering around the home and garden, if you [...]

My first (definitely not my last!) trip to the Jersey Shore this weekend. Very cool. Home of The Boss. Hurricane force winds the first day – but it was pretty nice today. We went to celebrate Christine’s wedding – which meant I got to see some of my cousins (on my mom’s side). And it [...]

We went skiing today.  I had a lesson with the big kids.  I went all by myself — with my helmet and my new gloves.   Hopefully Dad will take me back, and we can do some more skiing soon.   I have good form! My brothers came too.  Leighton had a few runs down [...]

Hi all — hope everyone’s enjoying the winter.   We’ve had lots of snow and ice — even got a day off school earlier this week (that Mom and Dad didn’t seem so thrilled about…)  It means we’re all about indoor activities — and today it was a Monster Truck Jam! I have to say [...]

Well, our week of celebrating the twins’ birthdays has finally come to a close.  I think it’s pretty nice that – since there are two of them – they seemed to have double the time to celebrate.   But I think we’ve finally seen the end of it.   Today we had a great party [...]

Hi, all.   We’ve had a great week here.   Off school and basically goofing around.   Mom and Dad promised us hockey lessons – but it was sort of a scam.  It was really little more than skating lessons.  No pads.  No hitting.  Heck, there weren’t even any sticks.  TT wasn’t having any of [...]
