Interlude
As you can see Zarina is growing up well and we are having wonderful adventures.
On the left is Alex with his prop-hat. Without fail people cannot walk by without commenting and flicking the propeller, followed by "I've always wanted to do that!"
Below is a pic of the whole gang at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom--boy does that guy in the floppy hat look good!
Zarina with her Grandpa (my Dad). They have really hit it off and she will frequently talk about "Grandpa Mal" and "Grandma Penny." She make a point of reminding me that "Grandpa Mal is your Dad."
On the right - Alex, Zarina, and that guy in the cool, floppy hat Plus their new friends Tigger, Pooh, and Eyore. She really takes to the characters, but it took a while to overcome her shyness. One moment she'll be the ultimate shy girl, hiding behind my legs and peeking around me, then the next she's talking to people and telling them her name and age.
