I tried to upload more pictures, but get an internal error. Something about the configuration...
Anyway, I went to hang with Angela and Samuel the other day and got him all to myself. Julia was in school so there was no competition. He is so cute. We went to the playground where he fell down and got that powdery dirt all over him. After spitting out what got in his mouth, he came to me to wipe it off his hands. He doesn't like his hands to be dirty. Smart boy. He also pointed it out on his sandals. It had gotten in there too and he kept grabbing at them until I took them off and wiped his feet too. I had only one wipe to work with because as I was leaving, and the diaper bag was already in the van, Angela and I figured I wouldn't need more wipes because I wouldn't be gone long. I think that's in the Murphy's Laws book. You will always need in the future what you don't think you will.
Angela is looking great and doing well. She passed the 36 week mark. I have a picture of her which looks like she put a perfectly round ball under her shirt. You will have to use your imagination.
Oooh, now I know why I kept getting internal errors. It's way too big. I downsized it to 50% in my editing tasks. I am able to upload pictures to my blog by just saving it "Best For Web". I don't even fool with the size. It gives me a 25% option too. Should I try that next time, Robbie?
Up to you, Janine. There is a limit here on size. Pics ought to be 100k to 200k in size. Closer to the 100k size is preferable. It should not be any wider than 600 pixels with a border or 640 without. No taller than 450k with a border or 480 without.
Glad that was only dirt. My first thought was ants.
What a great picture. I studied it for the longest time, and then decided the faint pink cheeks were the best part of it. So delicate. It's what I strive for when I get out my blush and end up like a what? no, not a clown, but something quite different from this perfect little boy.
About that perfectly round ball under my shirt.... I had to "school" Joey on appropriate comments to make to a very pregnant woman after the construction guy across the street from me told me, "You look like you're going to pop!" Doesn't he realize that I still have 4 WEEKS LEFT?!! Samuel and I went inside after that and I vowed not to step in public again until after this baby is born.
Don't keep them to yourself, Angelala. Spill. :)
I meant no harm, Angela. You look beautiful. Don't hide.
Robbie, I get it.
Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to join Elizabeth at the mall for lunch with Samuel. He is a real delight and it was nice to be able to get to know him away from all the distractions of a family gathering. He is a very silly eater, and a lot of fun. Elizabeth and I had a laugh when he protested getting back into his stroller with a little "eh, eh." Come on, after dealing with Polina and her exceptional vocal chords, you gotta bring your A-game if you want to impress us!
