My school was nice enough to throw a surprise birthday party for me earlier this week.  They even arranged for a clown to stop by.   Here she is….  Stardust!   OK, I admit that it took me some time to get used to the green hair and rather preposterous blue eyeshadow…  but I got there.  It [...]

Mom and Sanaa took me and my brothers away for a little pool time this week.   As nice as the weather is in Jerusalem – it’s always warm down in Eilat.  Here we are hanging out before breakfast…  We seemed to always be there before they opened. Oliver’s the morning person… I even got [...]

I got a chance to teach my brothers about Halloween.  We were trying to think up a good costume (we really should have been the Three Amigos or the Three Musketeers – ’cause come next year, we’d have to leave someone out).  But instead we decided to go as astronauts. Here we are at the Consulate party. [...]

… as you can see below.  When I put the loving on my little brothers, I really mean it.  That’s Tristan who looks scared for his life. My parents also seem to think I’m a good big brother, because they just told me that I’m going to get another chance about six months from now… [...]

Well, Dad would like me to tell you all that we spent the day at the beach.  And we did spend some time at the beach today — great weather, warm Mediterranean water, absolutely no one else there…   Here’s a quick pic of me having lunch at the cafe. But we left a little early — [...]

Dad finally came to join us. He was actually at Aunt Jane’s wedding, but I looked better – so more photos of me. I have to admit that, as much as I looked good in my suit and tie, I couldn’t wait to get back to modeling my wifebeater on the beach. This is my [...]

Aunt Jane and Uncle Glenn got married last weekend. He’s now really my uncle, even though I’ve been calling him that for months… It was a very nice wedding, but mostly because it gave me a chance to dress up. I looked fabulous. Even slightly rumpled. Granddad and Grandma Carpenter flew out. And my Cousin [...]

We’ve left dad behind and headed for the United States — and the beach!  Grandpa Ed came to visit…  he spent some time with Oliver and Tristan down on the beach.    I came down to hang out with them.  For some reason, Oliver has to be locked up in a tent.  Something about eating [...]

Well, we’re off on vacation.  Grandma Carpenter came to help us pack up and get back to the U.S.  It was fun to hang out with her for a week.  I think by the time the trip to New York is done, she’ll have had her fill of us for a while! We’re also packing [...]

My uncle Jeffe came to town.  He’s not really an uncle, but my parents seem to like him, so I’ve given him that honorary title.  We had a nice time – we went back to my favorite Tel Aviv beachfront bar and lounge, Honey Beach. Anyway, Jeffe hung out with my brothers a lot. I [...]
