Talia Gets Ink

It's getting hot here; over 100 for a couple of days now. No problem
for Talia. She just heads out for a shady block party in her new,
svelte stroller


Mom, Dad, Mami and Papi were there, as well
as a purple dinosaur which is NOT Barney.


Talia made new friends. Here she is with Kathleen.
Love those earrings.


And this is Heidi. She has four boys
but is popular with the girls, too.


And Talia had fun with all the activities. She
went on the Dino Bounce, in Dad's arms.


She got her first tattoo (which came off in the pool,
darn it, as you'll see later).


She got a balloon dog. And tried to improve it
just a bit.


Now this photo is significant because we don't have
lots of grass over here and this was the first time
Talia had a chance to inspect it up close. Softer than
the carpet, with lots of blades to explore.


Then, back home to cool off on the newly
christened SS Talia. She loves the water and
gleefully approved this vessel.


Her little, uh, make that muscular, legs were
churning at top speed under the water. But she
still had energy for plenty laughing and
splashing.


"Now, bring me that horizon!"
