Auntie Katya

It's weird to think of myself as an aunt (and a godparent). I spent all of a few hours with Baby Alex once he was actually born, so I guess that's not surprising. I've been staring at his pictures since I got home, though, trying to catch a glimpse of his personality through his facial expressions. I particularly love the one on Erich's blog where Dawn is holding him immediately after birth, and he's staring up at her with a look of awe. Priceless.

Here's one from right before Xon and I left for the airport to come home. Yep, that's my Datya.
