While Marlo and I were in Southern California over the weekend we spent an afternoon at a local “anti-mall” with the kids, and since there was so much fashion going on there had to be some eventual posing as well. I can’t thank India and Karis enough for the warm welcome they gave to my little puppy-purse carrying imp. Kristen, you can tell your girls that Marlo has slept with the Elsa Barbie every night since.
