Avamarie's orientation continues

New cousin Avamaria Felicity Xin Qian Miller continues to settle in comfortably and happily. Below, she got a lesson in American fashion from her stylish sister, Hannah Marie Miller, age 15, during a trip to the Como Zoo in St. Paul. We think Grandma Maria Augustine Sprick would be pleased and amazed at all the people who share her name. Inexplicably, nobody is named after Pamela or Alverna -- yet. Large eyewear, ala the late great Jackie O, is an important fashion accessory, Hannah explained.
The gangsta hat was courtesy of Till Engelmann, the pleasant young German teenager who is spending a few weeks with the Miller family, himself picking up important American tips about eyewear and headwear as well as the unique brand of English spoken by the Chris Miller family, including useful phrases such as, "Toilet paper on the main level, please!"
