For the record, we have been here just over a year and have officially seen 2 superstars.
Back in August, G and I were walking with the little ones and we strolled up behind Frank Lampard who is a Chelsea footballer and the top goalscorer for their club. He is probably the equivalent to Troy Aikman in his heydey with the Cowboys. Then on Friday of last week, S and I finished his monkey music class and walked into a little book shop around the corner and in right behind us came Andrew Lloyd Webber. The Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer extraordinaire. Can you tell how cool I play it when I am thrust in a situation such as this? Yep, I'm able to pull off the no big deal, see these people all the time thing quite well. Right. Seems our talented little neighbor was shopping for a Valentine card for his sweetheart.
We have also seen 1 superstar unofficially as Robert during his last visit pointed out Elton John only after he was in his car and half-way down the block. We were enjoying a snack and coffee at a Starbucks right across the street from Christie's where it appeared Elton was doing a bit of shopping. Thanks, Robert, for the heads up, even if it was two minutes too late!
Welcome
I began this blog in 2008 as we picked up and moved our family from Dallas, Texas to London, England as a result of a fabulous job opportunity for my husband. My primary goal was to stay in touch with family and friends as well as begin an online family photo album to preserve our precious memories. With 3 young boys at home and life moving at a breakneck speed, I found that by taking even a few moments to capture a thought or a photo or a memory from our day provided a much needed outlet and a place to be a bit more intentional and present. Our family enjoyed every single moment of our two years in London before a new role was offered to my husband which also required a relocation, this time to Boston, Massachusetts. We settled in Wellesley in September of 2009 and loved life in our teeny-tiny Norman Rockwell New England town. After 4 fabulous years in Boston, our family relocated yet again, this time back to Dallas. We feel so fortunate to have been given these amazing opportunities to live and visit and experience life in different places and we certainly look forward to many more adventures!

Wow! Andrew Lloyd Webber... Rob probably would have broken into song if he'd been there! The closest celebrity I've seen lately is the Channel 8 news team through the window at Victory Plaza! Keep your eyes open for more!
Nice sightings! I think I would have broken out into song also... "Music of the Night" comes to mind. Great to see you are still stalking.
I am sooooooooooooooo envious! Did you ask him who the Valentine card was for? Sarah Brightman probably isn't in the running anymore. I, unlike Rob and your friend, would have broken into my nun Latin chant from the Sound of Music. Dad and I were stars at one time, as you may know!
Love, MiMi
