The Portnoys & the Fredes


We had a great time with the Fredes this past weekend. For those who don't know, John is my colleague here in London, his kids are my boys ages, and Kristina is pregnant with #3. These pictures above are actually not from this weekend, so you'll be happy to know we're no longer eating off of a card table. The pictures are from our first weekend in London - only 4 weeks ago - though it may as well be 4 months considering how much has happened since then.

The four kids all get along well and Ben has said several times already that he wished that Jack lived next door. It's really nice that they're buddies. Ahna Frede turned three this past weekend and we went to the birthday party on Saturday. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and the party was in a nice park, Parsons Green, in Fulham, where the Fredes live. Very good time, plus afterwards I got to see John's home for the first time; nice. We ordered dinner from Pizza Hut (yes, the American chain) and it tasted like...home. The Fredes came by our pad in SJW on Sunday. You can reasonably conclude that neither family knows a whole lotta people around town yet, but that's okay. The Portnoy/Frede duo is having fun.
