| Big cheers and congratulations to Jim and Carla on their newest team member, James Jacob, born 1:57pm Illinois time, Friday July 24th, 2009. What a handsome lil' man. Great work, Dahlbergs! We cannot wait to meet him. |
| Hello, Lil' Handsome! |
| (I always think of Jim and his pals as being "forever 17", like time just stopped and everyone stayed the same since I left Illinois. But they're all adults now, men in their 30s, fathers with children of their own.) |
