Deeanna Franklin-Campbell writes: “On May 9 I gave birth to my second child, Joseph Cole Franklin-Campbell. Unlike his older brother Miles, 4, Cole is a large baby with chubby cheeks and a hearty appetite. Miles is delighted to be an older brother, and as long as Cole does not touch his toys, feels the little guy is welcome to stay. The two are opposites not only in demeanor but also in shading. While Miles takes after my side with a warm caramel complexion, Cole takes after his dad’s side and is very fair. My husband, Fred, is a history professor, and says his Scottish genes totally trounced my Caribbean genes. I can’t believe how much I love raising two boys; I should have done this ten years ago. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and a part-time freelance writer. I continue to write a monthly column for Clinical Psychiatry News and do business writing from my home in Columbia, Md.

Ran into Michelle Baker Richardson a week before the big day and received a warm congratulatory e-mail from Niels Leppert. I also received best wishes from Greg and Leslie Davis White.
