It’s been pretty quiet around here the past few days for a great reason – as of Friday, my wife and I have a beautiful baby daughter! Lina is happy and healthy. We are well smitten.

Congrats! And she’s even got a name right out of a children’s book — THE WHEEL ON THE SCHOOL. I guess a stork must have brought her.

Nice to hear from you! Thanks for bringing the knowledge with a Newbery name association – that’s very cool! Lina’s name was actually (partially) inspired by a 2003 kid’s book. Some have said that this book was robbed when it failed to win any Newbery recognition. Any guesses?
