I'm back! I know, I'll let you catch your breath and put away the noisemakers (though that delightful mango pudding you made can stay). Somewhere out there, cheers are emanating from my parents, three people at work, and my wife, along with the occasional Google user who was looking for the history of Goofus and Gallant and ended up here.
Where have I been? I've been busy not helping with nighttime feedings, continuing to sow the story of Santa into Simon's head (true story, kids, winkwink, parents), and watching Cecily reach the age where she can do more pushups than I can.
