Baby Symphony Has Arrived!
2017 started with a flurry of emotions as we endured our first miscarriage. But I must admit something: that experience has given me--and I think the rest of my family too--a much stronger sense of appreciation for the special gift of creating a child. Our new baby Symphony Joy was born on November 27th, and she appears healthy and happy. And once again, I get to see the extraordinary talent that my wife has for caring for infants. Christine is just so wonderful at loving on the baby and keeping her on a consistent schedule. I was overwhelmed with emotions on the day Symphony was born--even more than the day my first child was born. I just felt so grateful that she was healthy. For whatever reason, there was even some surprise mixed in there. I don't exactly know why I thought something might go wrong, but I definitely didn't take for granted that everything would be fine. I felt similarly when we performed our musical Rhythm City for the first time on stage. W
