We’re heading into the second week of Matt being in India. But the good news is that he’ll be back for the big fiesta at the end of this week: Gloria and Jim’s wedding! The children’s outfits are all ready (though I’m going to need to chop Whit’s toes off to fit into the shoes … oh well, an early lesson in suffering for beauty) and I have about a thousand and one things to do tomorrow to get packed and organized to hit the road. I am so looking forward to seeing many old friends from Princeton and from Exeter. We’re going to have tea at the Pierre with Hadley and Alexandra to celebrate Gracie’s birthday (Thursday) most of which she’ll spend in the car. Saturday morning we’ll cruise home hopefully in time for Gracie the firefighter to attend James’ Halloween party at the Harvard Museum of Natural History with the TPT family.
Last weekend was the Head of the Charles and we had a blast at my alma mater’s tent. A photographer came to take pictures for our Christmas card (this picture destined for a silver frame and Daddy’s stocking). I can actually see for the first time that Gracie and I do in fact look alike.
