When I first started work way back when last December in the Public Affairs section of the Embassy, my second day of work was spent in Kerry’s motorcade.  I spent the whole day with his traveling press corp and spent a large part of the day this close to him. After a too short hiatusContinue reading “Back to Work”

This blog is great and the way she explains the Philippines is spot on.  We had expectations when we came here, beautiful cheap travel to islands near and far, amazing Asian food, untouched beaches.  We have definitely seen some beautiful sights and beaches, but it’s taken a lot of planning and money to get there.Continue reading “Philippines according to Indiana Jo and Fo”

We took the Jumperoo out of storage last week, wiped it down, put it together and got it ready for Malcolm to use. But guess who insisted on getting in first.  He used to love this jumperoo and it was the only way I had any time to cook dinner.  I would plop Adam inContinue reading “Jumperoo – Big and small”

It feels like I just took pictures of Malcolm for 6 months and now he’s already 7 months.

He’s eating three solid meals a day and even trying toContinue reading “7 months young!”

This is my third trip to Hong Kong and every time I go I’m amazed at how much there is to do. There’s always something new that I haven’t already seen.  This time we went up to the Peak and walked around.  It was such a beautiful walk.  As I always do when I’m outContinue reading “The Peak”

Grandma Gretch and I decided to take a girls trip to Hong Kong to see Kate and the sights.  Of course at the last minute I decided to bring this little guy with us. Malcolm was great and slept the whole flight. He’s a pro traveler! We got in around 10.  Just enough time forContinue reading “Back to Hong Kong”

And she came bearing lots of gifts!  Grandma got in late at night so she had to wait until the morning to see the boys.  After a quick hug Eagle eye Ali spotted the goodies Grandma brought and she brought some good ones!  Adam got Mickey toys, shark shoes that light up, a shark towelContinue reading “Grandma's here!”

Now that we’re all caught up on Greece I need to catch you up on everything that’s been going on this past month at home!  When we returned home Malcolm was just over 6 months and ready for some food! He had been giving me all the signs, starting longingly at Adam’s icecream, trying andContinue reading “First bites”
