It's Official!

Today Truman received his engraved silver cup from Grand Judy and Pop George, which is sort of like saying he's now officially a Macor grandchild. In our family (as in others, I'm sure) it's a tradition for all of the babies to have their own silver cups. I still have mine; it's badly tarnished and sitting on my dresser filled with necklaces, safety pins and other odds and ends.

Truman's is a beauty! (I tried to photograph it in closeup to show off its engraving but couldn't get a decent picture. I'm sure my photog brother-in-law, Jason, would know how to do this properly.) The cup is engraved with Truman's first and middle names and his birthdate. Here he is inspecting the lovely wrapping from Braunschweiger's, the jeweler of choice in Warren, NJ!


And here he is toasting to himself. Who can blame him?

Love the Daniel Johnston t-shirt! And yeah, who *can* blame him for toasting himself? Here's to you, Tru!

Well, am I sure glad the silver cup arrived safely in Austin! Whew!
Can't wait to see Truman toast himself in person next week!
Love from NJ-
