I would be remiss if I didn’t herald the arrival of Lucy Kent Blake-Williams, new daughter to Tessa Blake and Ian Williams.

We visited Ian and Tessa last summer at their house in upstate New York; some quick gestation date math suggests that Lucy’s conception occurred sometime very soon thereafter and so I’d like to think that Ian and Tessa were inspired, at least in some small way, by Oliver’s wonderfulness, to jump into parenthood.

You can read the poo-by-poo tale of Lucy’s new life over at Ian’s blog.
