The EGG is showered with gifts from around the world. She is pictured above surrounded by a bounty from her Hungarian relatives and below on a blanket knitted for her by MN relative Arlene, wearing a dress given to her by Tina in NYC, and nearby an engraved silver cup (made to look like one her Great Grandpa Samuel had as a baby) given to her by her Great Aunt Jeannie in Sacramento. Wow!

I'm only three months old and I already have swim practice?




Huh, this is actually pretty fun! Now, if only I could figure out how to learn to get around on dry land...

Even in SoCal you sometimes need to stay toasty.

Whatever you do, don't take the rabbit!


No, not the rabbit!
