Happy New Year everyone! It is hard to imagine that it has been 10 years since we all fretted about potential Y2K catastrophes. But (and I’m sure many of you can relate to this notion) it seems like time just keeps speeding faster and faster as we get older. In any case I hope that this new decade is off to a terrific start for all.


Good news from Jill Lantz, who wrapped up 2009 with a new and joyous bundle of boy. Cooper Edwin was born on October 10, six weeks early. Jill reports that he is doing really well and big brother Ben, who is almost 3, has been a good brother so far. (“So far,” of course, being the operative phrase, Jill. Give it about a year, when Cooper happily starts noodling with Ben’s toys. That’s when the drama begins.)


A welcome update as well from Heidi Turer Dormody, just a hop, skip and jump away from me. Heidi lives in Boulder, Colorado, in a house full of boys. There is Eliott, who is almost 8, Ben is 5 1/2 and a new puppy, Finn, to add to the chaos. Heidi reports, “After a long break to stay home with the kids I’ve started doing some fundraising work again. I’m now consulting with a few organizations and enjoying the flexibility of it. Of course my dream job would be to work on the other side and give out the money! So if anyone has a foundation and needs someone to run it, please let me know!” Heidi loves Boulder—the weather, the people and the mountains and can’t imagine living anywhere else.
