Well spring is finally here...at least up here it is. This weekend we put up a swing-set and set up the sandbox. Tyler loves them both! Anna probably does too, but she can't say so yet...

Introducing... Anna Elizabeth Fieldsend

 

Born: 1/29, 8lbs 1/2oz, 21". There's dark hair under that hat, but we all know that could change! She's adorable. Tyler says we can keep her ;-)

Mommy and Baby are doing fine... Dad and Tyler are happy too!

Nothing too exciting, just a little taste of his daily routine...

So it's been a while since the last update... I'm sure you all understand, we've been a little preoccupied lately. We are ready for this baby to arrive, Katie is especially anxious (I can understand why). I have had no luck on the job front locally, and will officially accept the offer to move to NC tomorrow (deadline). Tyler has been keeping busy as well, as you will see in the pictures...

Okay okay, so it IS the most wonderful time of the year afterall...

Merry [belated] Christmas to everyone. We had a great day, Tyler was absolutely loving every minute of it. Of course, it was probably a bit much in retrospect. We started opening presents at 8:30 and finished at 5:30 (not counting the ones that arrived today in the mail...) No, I didn't get those times backwards, we really spent most of the day opening presents, it was fun. I made Tyler a train table, and Gail and Paul supplied a lot of the tracks and accessories for him. We set it up in the back room with some chairs blocking his view... it was our attempt at getting him to open most of the presents before just gluing himself to the trains... but it didn't last long when he opened a new train and immediately wanted to go put it on the tracks... he ran into the chairs and was like "what the!?"... so we opened it up and he slowly walked over to the table, as if to say, "is this really here? where did this come from... Ah... who cares, let's play!". It was all over after that... not very interested in leaving it, not too interested in what else there was to open, but we eventually convinced him that there was more neat stuff to unwrap... then he got back into it. It was fun. Thanks everyone for everything, and we hope you all had a great day as well!

Here are some pictures from Christmas

Christmas '07

And here are a couple of good videos... I have a lot more, but they will upload tonight and I'll post them tomorrow.

"A fire truck...fire truck...fire truck...fire truck..."

"It's the most, wonderful time of the year"

...yeah right...Johnny Mathis probably wasn't losing his job when he wrote that song... But seriously... I assume you all heard by now, Qimonda is consolidating the R&D for North America under one roof...unfortunately, that roof is in Cary, North Carolina. They are closing our office. Roughly 50 people out of the 130 that I work with will be given the opportunity to relocate. We will find out who is eligible on January 11th. Needless to say the timing could be better, given the baby on the way in February and the new house and all, but all said and done, Katie and I are doing just fine. We will try to stay right where we are, but to be honest, there are not a lot of semiconductor test engineering jobs up here (shocking, I know).

Enough about that though, because after all, this IS a wonderful time of the year, and Tyler is enjoying every minute of it. Picking out the three, playing in the snow, building a ginger-bread house, trains, cookies, family and friends visiting... we are having fun.

I hope you all are enjoying the season as well, and we wish you all a Merry Christmas!
