I’ve received several not so subtle reminders that it’s been awhile since I last blogged. I’ve been busy, and my schedule hasn’t left a lot of time for blogging—I’m a very important person, you know—and I haven’t really had all that much to say. While I have been busy, not a lot’s been going on. Well, okay, I got a new job. Er, well, a temp-to-hire job. I guess that’s sort of big. I keep telling myself it doesn’t count until I am hired permanently. I like it, though. I like the people I work with. Other than that, I’ve been reading a lot and trying to write when I can. Mostly I read, though. Really, that’s all that’s been going on.

Oh, and this. I guess this is important:

World, meet Master Harry. Officially, he’s Harold Jack. So far, I’ve taken to calling him Master Harry, though. He’s rolling over already, and I think he’s pretty adorable as far as nephews go. He’s a month old today. That makes the rolling over bit seem a little less impressive, but he rolled over last week when he was only three weeks old, so that’s still pretty impressive. It’s just not, you know, Superbaby impressive, more Batbaby impressive. I was going to wait until his first birthday to introduce him, when I could show you a picture of him walking and really impress you with his size and abilities for a newborn, but I was worried I might slip up before then (though I believe I’d have to blog in order to do that, so I actually probably would’ve been okay). He was born on 14 March at 3:08 am, and he was 9 lb., 22 in. My sister birthed a turkey.

He has elf ears, too. I have 2 elves now. Alice Elf and Harold Jack. I’m pretty stoked about that. I think this gives me an in with Santa come Christmas. IPAD, ELVES, IPAD.

Alice adores him. She refers to him as her baby, and when I Skype with my sister and she’s asked where her baby is, she’ll tap him on the foot. She likes to hug and cuddle him, but she has brute-like Herculean strength, so her hugs run more along the lines of strangulation. My sister watches her closely, though, so we’re all fairly confident Master Harry will make it to his first birthday. If Alice is feeling generous, she might let others give him a hug on his birthday, too:

Just realized this coincides with Alice Thursday. To celebrate this post—the fact that I’m posting, mind you, not Master Harry’s birth, because his birth was more likely than me posting before Easter—and the babies contained within, I will give you more pictures of babies. And if a picture is worth a thousand words, then I’m pretty sure these get me off the hook and are good for at least 3 or 4 posts. Right?

And the best picture of them all–Alice meeting her brother after he’s born:

Also, double elf ears.
