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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

OK – I know it’s been a long time.   But if you haven’t added me to your blocked senders list in the meantime, thanks. No better time than the holidays to catch up with everyone — hopefully you all are in a forgiving mood, and have had a great Christmas holiday today. I think [...]

Well, I am now officially in search of a new title for my blog, as we have — once and for all — departed Jerusalem.   I think it’s fair to assume that I left my mark on a few places — a handful of schools, any number of parks, just about any functioning swimming [...]

Today is Leighton’s first birthday.   Happy Birthday Baby LeiLei! We’ve had a fun couple of days.   TT, Oliver, and I threw a party for him.   We brought out the tractor, and generally hung around having a good time.   For some reason, Dad took photos of us, and not the birthday boy… [...]
