Happy Birthday, Great-Gramama!

Hi Mamie Clem,

I wish you the BEST of all birthdays!

I haven't had a chance to meet you yet. But I feel like

I know lots about you already from Papi. Things like

your favorite lullaby. And examples of patience and

grace (OK, those last things are more from stories instead

of setting an example.)

To show you how I spend a typical day out here,

have a look at this video clip.

Busy day

But on your special day, you should definitely kick

your shoes off and enjoy, just like I did on my birthday.

Love you,

Talia Pearl

Happy Birthday, Aunt Margaret!

A special message from Talia for Aunt Margaret:

We always get together in the most interesting

places and you always bring the most fun

things.

A doggy in LA,

a blanket in Las Vegas,

a necklace in Yosemite.

But most fun of all, you always

bring cousins Anjelica and Sebastian!

Maybe we have some things in common...

Don't forget to down an extra piece of

cake for me

Have a yummy celebration, Aunt Margaret!

Bisous,

Talia Pearl

Recital

Cousins Alex and Max are real

role models for Talia. She recently treated

her mom to an impromtu, solo performance.

First, adjust the seat (don't ask).

Ten fingers, no less.

Just one hand.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

See and hear the entire performance here:
