It’s vacation–or as Dawit calls it –weekcation, and we are enjoying ourselves. The kids have been staying up late, sleeping in, and inventing lots of merriment during the day. Can you believe how patient this dog is?

She has never liked “person dolls”–but somehow she loves this. It’s sort of a tweeny girl thing. John made her a doll bed, and Granny made [...]

Fog in New England and snow in the Midwest gave us 4 cancelled flights and 2 more days with Grandma! She was able to attend the amazing Mother Goose Show put on by the Kindergarten:

I’ve been wearing red for a few days. Here’s a photo of me with Toni Braxton and Dr. Tracy Stevens. We did a segment on the Morning Show with Mike and Juliet (Fox) about women and heart disease. It will likely air next week:
Later that day at the Red Dress Awards, I was hanging out [...]
