Refactoring: Adding a New Member to the Root Class

It wasn't quite as easy as right click -> refactor, but our first child, Simeon Paul Root made it into this world on August 4th at 1:32am, right on his due date.  According to the doctor, only 5% of babies actually arrive naturally on their due date- I think he was using Scrum in utero. He certainly has all the features we could want, and is running great in his new environment.  Though we each contributed about %50 in terms of lines of code, my wife did all of the difficult deployment work and really gets all the credit for carrying the project into production.

Welcome into the world, Simeon - we love you and are glad you're finally here!
