4 weeks old and a visit from Ya Ya and Far Far

Karina is 4 weeks old!!! She had a very exciting week. Dave/Far Far and Karin/Ya Ya Ericson arrived on 10/8/07 to meet their new granddaughter. They were immediately smitten and couldn't get enough of her. Their trip came and went, and they were sad, but have their next trip in January to look forward to.


Karina "laughs" at the TV while sitting in Tim's lap.


Karina breakdancing.


Karina amongst her elephants, or "fatitis" as Marie called them as a child. And in case you're wondering, that is not the Afrikaans word for elephant...


Far Far holds Karina for the first time. As usual, she's asleep.


Ya Ya's ear to ear grin shows just how happy she is to be a grandmother. And Karina's asleep.


Karin and Marie pose at the start of Karina's first walk in the stroller.


Karina shows off her Red Sox pride. She will however never know the pain that the rest of us endured before 2004.


Marie and Tim pose for a photo in Sunset Park as Karina ponders life.


Dave and Jimi.


Proof that Karina does spend some of her day awake...


...and unfortunately the night as well :)
