I hope baby Vlad is fat and happy, by now. He got into a great family, for sure!
Is your mother coming back a little later?
Probably in April. They have to go to my brother's "marriage blessing" in England at the beginning of the month, and will probably come here afterward. (My brother got married at the courthouse but they're planning a religious service as well.) Or they may wait until we have Anoreth's Confirmation in May. Although I'm always happy to see them, it is hard to have guests when you've got a new baby.
Vlad is looking fatter each day!
