Sorry for the prolonged absence from blogging. I took a little time off while my wife gave birth to our new son. Both he and my wife are doing well and our daughter, Ella, has made the adjustment to being a big sister. She was a little thrown off each time we made the trip to the hospital to see Mom and her new baby brother. I think she couldn’t figure out why her mother was wearing pajamas outside of the house and sleeping in a strange bed, but she’s adjusted well and has been our little helper running to get the pacifier any time he makes the slightest noise. I’m nearing the end of my time off and will return to blogging this week.
