Here's Thalia all done up in her engineer finest, for the banquet at the N Scale Collector's Convention in Chantilly, Virginia. It would be a memorable night for Thalia, meeting lots of people and being the very first winner of the raffle after dinner!
Marshmallow roast time for Kieran (with Cousin Lili in the background) at the neighborhood pool in San Jose, during the summer vacation in California, August 2004.
We didn't have many ninety degree days in the Great White North this year-- in fact, a total of Zero through almost the entire season!-- but it was occassionally warm enough to break out the "water slide." Hmm, perhaps Kieran doesn't agree that it's warm enough...
But it was certainly warm enough for tents during the day, and Kieran was right there...
However, not to be outdone, so was Thalia! Note that the dresses on the doll and the girl match! A Christmas gift from her Grammy, this. And I love that "Miss Chievous" look that she has.
A lazy afternoon on the couch, watching videos. Perhaps of themselves!
Finally, some "obligatory" shots...

First, the obligatory "dueling cameras" shot; Kieran at his sister's fourth birthday party, May 2004, Dinosaur's Choo-Choo Express, Spencerport, NY (highly recommended, and explains Kieran's shirt)...
Next, the obligatory "fishing" shot; Kieran at Cub Scout camp, June 2004...
And last but not least, the obligatory "hiding behind tree" shot, Thalia and one of her many "pretty dresses!" outside our humble Ellison Park home, July 2004. That's all for now!
