We are headed back to the US for a bit (a week each in NJ, DC and Buffalo) as we approach the one year anniversary of our move accross the pond. We're excited to see everyone, and to experience a bit of "real" summer (perhaps a little too real, it's been well over 100 degrees in NY the last few days).
We've been in a decent groove the past few weeks... activities have included our first garden party (which was a total rain-out but was good fun anyway), Sadie's 'graduation' from school, my (low-key) birthday, a few excursions out of town such as to Hatfield House (pictured, below, with Henry Moore statue and human imiatator), some cultural activites such as the First Prom concert and War Horse, and plenty of the usual trips to playgrounds, ballet, etc.
One highlight has been Sadie's reaching of the age of 3 and the nearly simultaneous lifting of her terrible two-ness... both Karen and I have noticed a dramatic decrease in tantrums and increase in helpfulness and aggreability! Just as Parker has shown signs of a move int he reverse direction, although he's just too good natured a kid (so far at least) to really be called a terrible anything.
For me, work has been good but busy... and frankly I'm ready for a break.
