I’m back from my first blog vacation in a year. Thank you to all of the guest posters who helped out while I was away, and thank you to everyone for continuing to read, comment and email. I have a ton of messages to follow up with, so if you’re awaiting a response, please give me a couple days to catch up. Thanks.
The new baby Franklin is doing excellent, and our older son Emerson is adjusting to his new role as the big brother exceedingly well. All is good at Casa Carlson.

He’s so cute!!! Must look like his mother! ;-)
Congratulations again to your whole family!
BTW — Good for you taking some time off. You might consider writing a post about balancing work/life — many people can’t do that.
