Hey all… I know I’ve been absent for a while, my bad. Things have been busy at work, and I hope to have a string of good news to drop on you guys in the coming weeks. But regardless of how my wheelings and dealings turn out, I do have some great news: I have joined the ranks of uncle-dom.

My nephew, Bergen Melhus Leafblad, ‘stands’ 19″ tall and weighs 6 lbs 8 ounces. He was born today at about 2:00 pm in Minneapolis. According to my mom, he’s got a head full of black hair, and he’s the cutest baby she’s ever seen. (I’ll try to ignore that one, mom…) I hope to have a picture to post in the next few days…
