My dad and step mom Theresa (pictured above — it’s not easy to get a decent photo of grandparents and squirming toddler!) live in a really interesting neighborhood called Springfield.

We headed up to Sea Isle City, New Jersey to spend some quality time with my old friends Colleen and Tom and their brood of seven at their beach house. Yes, seven. Not seven dogs. Not seven parakeets. Seven children. Seven amazing, hilarious, [...]

Jake’s suit was tailor made in Kabul, Afghanistan, just for this occasion. Who knew Kabul had its own Savile Row? His was probably [...]
