The bun is fully baked & out of the oven

We give a big, warm hello to the long-awaited addition to our family: Atticus Halcyon Loh-Ratan.

Yes, his name is a mouthful - maybe typical of the ambitious names that new parents give their first babies. Atticus was my idea. I've always wanted to name my child after a literary character, & Atticus is as noble as they come. As cheesy as it sounds, I have taught To Kill a Mockingbird for 8 years, & I still learn something new every time I reread it. I tell this to my tenth graders, and they roll their eyes with sarcasm.
