Chuck D & Mr. T

Charlie just lost his first tooth (and said to Griffin “Do you think that’s precious?”) What a big week. I am getting misty-eyed.

Teddy just told me that a photo of Meryl Streep as Julia Child “look like you, Mama.” New hairdo needed. And skin care.

Teddy had his first day in the Rainbow Room today. He was so happy to be there and I was so happy he was.

Today is Charlie’s first day of kindergarten! He seemed happy to go and has such a sweet teacher

Teddy “I am a new year-4-but my name is still Teddy.”

Back from Sea Island. We had the most fun with the Natis family. We all adored spending time with them. I want to adopt Shen. And Kia. And Noa. We swam, rode bikes, went to the gym, and just hung out. We have now decided next summer we will go to visit them…maybe live in London for a little while. It is really wonderful when you have friends you can travel with.

Asheville…went rode horses, swam in cold waterfalls, slid down rock slides, picnicked, drove around in gold carts each day, celebrated Teddy’s birthday, shopped, went to Biltmore, listened to street musicians, fell in love with Shen, Kaia, and Noa.

Taking MJ’s biggest-yet smallest- fans to watch him win the championship lacrosse game was so much fun. As a different kind of fun than taking his furriest fan to a 10pm game last night at Georgetown in the pouring rain.

I love that Charlie wants to cuddle with me each night.

Charlie and Teddy had Pascal and Griffin over after tennis camp today. While they were playing in their room the boys all pulled every piece of clothing out of every door and the closet every book off the shelf, every single toy out of every basket and the window treatments off the window. Before bed I helped Teddy and Charlie clean up. As I was tucking them in Teddy said “Mommy, we made the mess because we were so happy.”
I said “I know you did. It’s ok to have fun and make a big mess. You just need to clean it up when you are done. And try not to break the blinds.
