I just found another that bears a strong resemblance to my own in that the couple became best friends and eventually married in spite of the guy's complete cluelessness.

Ryan keeps posting pictures of his new baby, and I can't blame him. I usually think that babies look like withered little aliens, but baby Andrew really looks like a tiny human being, and he's beautiful. Ryan also tells us how he and his wife steal as many private moments as they can.

I can't believe it has taken me this long to realize that Theognome's wife has a blog. I'm sure it's been there in his links for months, but I just noticed it this week.

Toni (Mrs. Theognome) posted a great piece on the husband's role as spiritual leader on March 9. For goodness' sake, check it out.
