...is to start trying to update this blog once a week. If not for you, but for me. I don't want to forget all things that I think about everyday.
What prompted this vow?
I just wrote an e-mail to Lauren's dance school asking about a video, and rather than typing "Thank you," I typed "Kind regards," because that is the acceptable way to sign off on an e-mail in this country. And if you just get a "regards," that is not a good sign. You need the Kind in there to know all is well.
Over the weekend, Brad ran the London Landmarks Half Marathon, which ran from the Mall near Buckingham Palace past St. Pauls and through the West End and then to the Tower of London and ended near 10 Downing Street and Trafalgar Square. It was an amazingly beautiful day! The kids and I went along to support him. (I think it's important for the kids to support us just as we support them in all their activities.) We found these bouncy and spinny circles in St. Paul's courtyard, which were super fun and the girls can have fun anywhere as long as there is enough room to do some gymnastics. And Drew is always happy to read one of his football heroes books. I hope we are able to get into the city more because each time I go into the city, I am in awe of the unique places I find. And I am so grateful to live in this stunning place.
Not to say there are not some ugly sides to it right now, what with all the knife crime and BREXIT.
Drew is football OBSESSED!!! If he is not outside in the back garden training, then he is reading his Match of the Day magazine, reading a Football heroes book or watching a match on TV. When there has been a match the night before, the first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is ask Alexa for the scores. He knows so much about football (and I know more than I ever thought I would!)
