My apologies for the lack of updates.  My wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Wednesday Dec. 19th.  Ryan Nicholas was born at 7:46am, weighed 7.2 pounds, and measured 20.5 inches.  Right now helping my wife is the priority.  I’m still learning Kanji, I’m just not blogging about it.  It’s going a little slower than I would have liked, but thats to be expected.  Take care and Merry Christmas!
