Come on out!

My friend Margaret visited today from Mississauga, with her two kids. Miriam loved playing with two-year-old Ariela, and she LOVED holding and touching 2.5-month-old Maksym. Here are two of the very few pictures where they sat still and looked at the camera (rare, because there was too much fun to be had!).




And on a much scarier note, here's a picture of me holding the baby atop the sumo wrestler that has attached itself to my abdomen. I am positively elephantine, which I didn't realize until I saw this ghastly picture, and am now devoting every minute to getting this baby OUT! I feel like I'm walking around pushing a major kitchen appliance in front of myself! Of course, the tent-like dress doesn't exactly make things look smaller, but I'm going for comfort here. ACK!



Off I go for a speedy sprint around the block, followed by a few hours of nipple stimulation and a bucket of Kung Pao chicken.
