This just in!!!

This Just In!!!!!!!!

Mishka's got herself a new playmate! Oliver Mackenzie Somers was born today, August 15th, at 12:55 am...his Mom (Tracey) is doing okay, but exhausted (27 hour labor!) and his Dad (Tony) is by all reports on cloud 9!!!

No pics at this point of Oliver.

No pics of Mishka just yet either...technical difficulties are still in play, but I hope to get some in a few days...

Mishka Update: She was Christened this past weekend at St. Mark's Orthodox Church in Kingston, MA (very small ceremony during Sunday mass)...it went pretty smoothly, although Mishka was NOT a fan of the full body dunking in the Holy Water! Mom & Dad are very happy that Mishka will have the opportunity to start her exploration in faith in the Russian Orthodox church...and Mishka's got some fantastic Godparents in her Uncle Nico and Aunt Tracey (and by proxy Aunt Masha...Tra was a wee bit busy on Sunday!!!!) to help her along her way, along with the variety of views and experiences of her family and friends. Good stuff!
She and her Mommy are currently hanging out on the Cape with Babi and Babu (which is probably a good thing as Daddy is off is Neuroanatomy land right now...scary place if you don't have a map ;))...Mishka's working on setting a new Guiness Book of World Record in overall volume of dispelled drool for an almost 4 month old. Seriously, the kid looks like she's been hosed down.

Pics will come soon!
later
