Adriana is way ahead of the rest of us when it comes to Valentine’s Day. She booked a photo session with John and ordered her Valentine cards in early January.

The end of the month also brought fresh report cards and parent-teacher conferences. The three girls all...

We got delayed out of San Francisco as it took almost an hour to coordinate the takeoffs and landings with the Blue Angels rehearsing their Fleet Week show. Al Maha was wonderful and very...
