Okay, so technically you’ve been on earth for about 9 months. But you’ve been sheltered from the earth’s atmosphere that whole time. It’s a little bit colder out here but it’s still dark like you’re used to (you do live in Alaska, after all). So glad you could join us!
And congrats to Nate, Betsy, Beren, and Lili on the new family member, born December 19th with long fingernails and lotsa great hair!

Kate,
His dad says it’s pronounced KEER-dan.
