From New York to .. York

The last few months have been a blur, starting with Rome's birthday party in New York, followed by a trip to York in England, Paris and Fontainbleau, France for the INSEAD ball, and then a holiday to the island of Malta. In between, we had a house full of friends and family (with quite a few return visitors). We're happy to be staying put this month and then to be heading to California soon! Here are the latest pics to keep our faces fresh until then... Rome at the Children's Museum of Manhattan

As for visitors, Brenna wins the prize for most trips to or through London- with her third visit en route to Ibiza for the summer. Serry (who was here at the same time), tied with Ms. Millet for second place, as they stopped by for tea en route from Portugal and to Tanzania, respectively. Although they both had been here three times now, we were only here to see them each twice- so it's kind of a three way tie.

Adam & Alli came for a weekend on the way back from Spain and Scooter hoppped across the pond from Ireland, where he's working for Google this summer. We're so lucky to have such well-traveled friends to come by and keep us company. So, if you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for???

Our camera with all our photos was stolen in France, but Karyn, who is a very successful and amazing photographer, took lots of beautiful shots on our day at Kensington Palace.

If it looks like we've just been having too much fun, you'll be happy to hear that it rained bucketloads all day today, this June was the coldest on record in the UK, and we ate couscous for dinner all alone on the 4th of July. So it's not all fun in the sunshine over here...it did clear up the next night for an outdoor concert in Hampstead Heath where we saw Rufus Wainwright singing "I'm so tired of America". We obviously missed being out there BBQing with all of you on our country's day of Independence. God Bless America.....

Hope you're all enjoying the summer!
