Hats, fire engines, and robot hamsters


Two pictures:

Lillia helping me to demonstrate the Art of Hats. Below: Lillia visits engine #1 in Walnut Creek in April. We are trying to visit my mom every couple of months now, when possible.

Our daughter turned five a couple of weeks ago. Lillia received a zhu zhu pet for her birthday today--a belated present--a hamster robot named Tex that moos like a cow and Yee Haws like a cowboy. Noisy. Active. Perfect for the five year old set. It may yet come to an "unfortunate" end. Warning on the bottom to not dispose of in the trash so it must have something in it that they don't want in a landfill. We will be careful not to eat it.
