hi all

it's been 6 months since I last posted to this blog. Life has been busy with balancing work and family life. So much has happened developmentally with Allison, it's hard to keep up. We just celebrated Allison's first birthday on Aug 31, with her real birthday being Wed, Sept 3. I will be retroactively posting things to this blog bc I want to be able to look back at it in the future (and also so that close family members can see in a central location). So, I hope you won't mind the flood of emails you might get if you subscribe to this blog. Cheers!
