Nate's now over three weeks old and entering that state of fat and (mostly) happy. MJ and I are tired but doing well, and Iris is doing a bang-up job as big sister-in-chief. If you've been around a newborn for...

Mary Jean, who's always been the best writer in the family, writes: Nathaniel Oscar Rosenfeld was born Wednesday, June 18, at the extremely hospitable hour of 2:54 p.m. He was a strapping 8 pounds 6 ounces, and within minutes of...
