It’s a hard life, but someone has to live it.

The newlyweds came to visit us this past weekend. We hadn’t seen them since the wedding and it was great to see them and hear about their honeymoon and spend time with them. I love when they come visit. They love Adam so much and Adam loves them! Saturday afternoon we went to visit ourContinue reading “Weekend with the Jordans”

It’s been a big week over here!  Adam has started clapping,  pulling himself up to standing and full on crawling.

We decided last Thursday to have Randy’s work colleague and his wife and baby over.  It had been a long time since we had company over for dinner so we felt like we were ready.  Adam was still a little jet-lagged so we were up at 5 am and he decided to show us aContinue reading “Dinner Party”

Wedding day! We all got ready in Daphne’s suite. It was such a great day, we chatted, got our hair and makeup done and had champagne 🙂   Look who has his eye on the champers. Peeking out the window to see the wedding preparations. The bride even took time out of her busy day to helpContinue reading “Mrs. Michael Jordan – Part 2”

My little sister, Daphne got married in June.  She is now officially Mrs. Michael Jordan!  It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that this beautiful, poised, graceful, amazing person is my little sister.  I still have a hard time believing she has an adult job, can drive and lives in theContinue reading “Mrs. Michael Jordan”

You may be wondering how we spent our last day in Russia. It was a Saturday and you’re probably sure we traipsed around Moscow with some non stop sightseeing. Well…we did perhaps pop back to the market for some last minute souvenirs, but after that we spent the day with some locals. We headed toContinue reading “Last day in Russia”

Another early start in the Ali house, but nothing a homeade omelette and a latte in my favorite mug can’t fix. We skipped our afternoon nap, opting for a walk and a fro yo date with our neighbors Carrie and Celia instead.  It was a good choice 🙂 –Fotini

or 8 months old! Hard to believe I was ever this small. I can sit up I can crawl. I eat loads of foods and loads of non foods. I grab for stuff, ok I grab for everything! And am a go getter! Yeah me!! –Adam 

We’re back! A short ten hour flight later and we landed safe and sound in Dulles airport.  The flight was full but we luckily have a friendly baby who all the stewardess and neighbors loved. When all else failed there was some TV to watch. We were all happy to get home and be in our comfyContinue reading “Back in the US of A!”
