We welcomed our first child into the world on Tuesday, July 15. She weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz and was 20.75 inches long. All are doing well as we look forward to a lifetime of fun and new adventures together.

If you love typography or think you have a keen eye for fonts, take a stab at The Rather Difficult Font Game. Take the challenge and let me know how you do.
