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 [...]

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… [...]

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Memorial Day.  Hope everyone got to spend it with friends and family and – ideally – a large backyard BBQ.   We spent our weekend at the beach and the zoo. The only drama came when I threw one of my shoes into the rhinoceros pit [...]

Summer comes early out here in Jerusalem.  Not only has it been hot hot hot, but apparently my school year ends this month.  Surprise, Mom!  So I get some more quality time with my brothers.  My mom’s looking for things to do every day.  The beach is high on our list… But we’re also big [...]

It’s holiday season out here.  Passover started on Wednesday night.   Easter (at least the first Easter) is on Sunday.  I’m out of school for both Easters (don’t ask me how that works, but Mom knows).   We’ve had a good run of parties, including an early Easter egg hunt at school before we got [...]
