We are so happy to announce the arrival of Harper Jae Slagle, new daughter of our contributing editor Melissa Slagle and husband Nate. She was born at 8:17 am on August 1. Little Harper also has a proud big brother, Braden.

So, Melissa is going to be taking a little time off from her regular duties here, although she is so organized that she worked ahead and you will probably see some posts from her yet.

Congrats to the Slagle family and welcome to the world, little Harper Jae!
