Elsie at the Garden

Well, first here's a picture of Elsie smiling. She smiles now! Sometimes she smiles wider than this, but this is the best one we caught on camera. Grandma Kathy said, "Given her parents, if that child didn't have a big, wide mouth, I'd be worried."



Here's another picture from that series. This one is here to counter the rumblings that Elsie is rarely alert in our pictures. Now that's alert! She's ready for something!



And now, here's some pictures from our trip last night to see the Knicks play Miami at Madison Square Garden. We took the subway there. Elsie was the youngest person at the game, we think. She slept through the first half.



But then she woke up for the exciting conclusion. That's Adam and Whitney next to her:



The Knicks won, by the way, thanks to our cheering. Go Knicks! We tried to take a picture with both Elsie and Shaquille O'Neal in it, but that proved ellusive. Donald Trump was there too, and so was Kevin Bacon. Footloose! Here's Elsie and Maggie, both equally perplexed about what happening on the court in front of them:



Earlier in the week we had a visit from Cousins/Aunts Erika and Kristen. What is Elsie's relationship to them if Erika is my cousin?

Elsie and Erika are first cousins once removed. Is Adam really offering Elsie beer?

First cousin once removed. Her children will be Elsie's children's second cousins (I have lots of cousins!)

P.S. Little Elsie certainly has a radiant smile, in the same league as mine or Cobey's, though perhaps not quite so ingratiating.

Love,
