I just received an email from Kathy’s iPhone with a photo of a perfectly beautiful baby boy, Carter Steven Scoleri.  Ten fingers, ten toes and mama Kathy’s eyes, it looks like. 

7 lbs. 9 oz. (I think her other son, Reilly, was also that same weight, but I might be mistaken) and 19.5 inches long… yay!

Yay, Baby 2.0 has a name now.   I assume mama is doing fine. I’ll anticipate a relatively slurred phone call in a few hours.  Congratulations, Kathy and Steve!

Greetings and salutations! We’re back from our holiday hiatus and are going through our slightly chubby inboxes, settling in for a brand new week in an april-fresh new year!  We’re looking forward to the exciting projects we’ve got lined up for this season and will be contacting our clients over the next day or so to get the project schedules set up and underway.

If you have recently inquired about working with us and haven’t filled out a Request for Proposal yet, please take a moment to do that. As of right now, we are both booked through March and will be reviewing projects for the Spring season starting March 2nd.  But, you never know!  Sometimes things come up and we’re able to review your project sooner, so it’s best to get that request in as soon as possible. We’d love to hear about your project!

The portfolio will be updated soon, as well. Between the two of us, we’ve got at least 20+ projects that haven’t made it to our portfolio yet, so be on the look out for that if you’re interested.

If you happened to pick up our book, The IT Girl’s Guide to Blogging with Moxie, we’d welcome your review!  If you’re so inclined, please pop over to Amazon and share your thoughts.

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Kathy and I enjoyed our time off very much, recharged our creative batteries and are refreshed and ready to rock!  Thank you for your patience.
