A week ago today, my wife and I brought our first child into the world. Bradley Reece Mensching was born at 2:44 PM on November 5th 2011. Bradley was 15 days late but arrived a healthy 7 lbs. 3 oz. nonetheless. Mom and baby are doing great as we adjust to our new life as a family of three.

This is the first time I've touched a keyboard in a week. I'd say that is hard to believe but that wouldn't be true. All of my time is spent with or taking care of Bradley and Jenny. It's been a fantastically fulfilling week. I look forward to next week where I'll do the same.

In the meantime, you keep coding. Bradley and I are getting to know each other.
