Back in the Saddle

Jul 3 2006

Are you okay? How’s everything going? Where in the world have you been? Is everything okay? How come you’re not blogging anymore? I miss reading your blog, when will you be back?

While these are the sorts of questions I had hoped to receive as a result of taking two weeks off from blogging, clearly, I’m not popular enough yet to warrant that sort of attention. Oh well, fortunately I know my place in the world, and making it in the big-time world of blogging was never my intention. Being a great husband, father, boss, co-worker, and member of my community have always rated higher, and these past couple of weeks are proof of where my energies are best directed.

A weeklong break quickly turned into two, and the break was definitely worth it, since my wife and I welcomed our second child and first son into the world. Alexander Hanks was born late in the afternoon on June 23rd, and I’m both happy and proud to share that Mommy and Baby are doing fine.

As for me, I’m counting down the days until I’ll have two ‘Adventure Buddies‘ as sidekicks (I think I’ll take Alexander camping with his big sister Kaitlin and me this fall)!

It’s good to be back. (Oh, and here’s wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.)

    Welcome back, Jeremy! Some of us were thinking those questions, at least I was. But knowing some of the recent events that you’ve experienced, both life and death, I wasn’t surprised that you took a little time off. A few days of planned down-time can easily grow to a week or more.

    Since I don’t know how big your audience really is, I don’t know if you would be considered a “big-time” blogger to the rest of the world, BUT your posts have impacted my life, and that’s all that really matters to me. That’s why your feed warrents a place on my home page. Congratulations to you and Amy on your newest addition. And I’m sure that I’m not the only one who’s glad you’re “Back in the Saddle!”
