A painted belly

annebellyalthea.JPGJan. 26: My dear friend Anne came over this afternoon…driving all the way from Milwaukee on a snowy Saturday to paint my big belly.
Anne painted my belly a few days before Andrew was born (see a photo here), and she has bedecked the bellies of a slew of other friends in the past several years.  It’s a fun way to honor and commemorate my largely enhanced size, and the baby seemed to be tickled by the light brush strokes.
We decided on a snowy/starry night theme, and it turned out really well.  Anne is such a fun friend!  Photos for those who enjoy such things are in the gallery🙂
