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 [...]

Let’s Go Giants!
April 30th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized
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 [...]

Monster Trucks!
January 30th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day – From the Beach!
February 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
We’ve been back from the States now for a couple of weeks. It’s taken us that long to (mostly) get over the jet lag, and get the chill out of our bones. It was nice to be back — I had a great time at the Air and Space Museum with my brothers — [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! and Eid Mubarak!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We celebrated here today – even though the weather doesn’t feel much like the holidays are here. My brothers went to school and I went to a good, local version of a Turkey Bowl with Dad. Then we ate turkey with our friends Taymor and Idris. Here we all are (well, [...]

Happy Memorial Day

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 [...]

Hurry up, Percy!

Well, Mom left the house in a rush last night and we thought for sure she’d be coming back with our little brother. But no dice. Apparently Percy’s decided to wait a few more days. It did mean that we all got to go to the Easter party at the Consulate today. (Ahem, [...]
