Taxes...

We did our taxes this week. Another benefit of having a kid = increased refund. I like it. We are going to buy a Burley and a shed. And then we are flying to Vegas and putting the rest down on RED. We'll be set after that.

Speaking of lil Annabelle, she turns four months old on Monday. Even at that young age, she has already figured out what she wants to be when she gets older...
That's right, she wants to be Elton John.

Updates...

I've determined that Heather is a much better blogger than me. You should probably visit her blog if you want to see better pictures and read a better tale. :)

Things are going well here. We are entering spring here in Madison, and I am loving it. Not that it was a particularly bad winter, I was just ready to start being outdoors again. All of our snow is gone, and we even had a 70 degree day here this week. With the warmer weather arriving, that means that the lunch rides at work have started in earnest, so I can get myself in shape for the upcoming race season. The Eddy road bike is getting some updates this year...I'll post some pics once I complete that.

Annie B is doing awesome. She's super cute and loves to smile. I'm ordering up the Burley next week, so soon we will be able to go on rides around town with her as a passenger.

Tomorrow I take off for the Cities for the Final Five hockey tourney. Heather and Annabelle are driving up on Fri for the day to visit with Auntie Alane, Dick, Dad, and Danette. Should be a good time!

I'm getting a receiver hitch installed on the Subaru next week. I just got a Saris Thelma bike rack...I'm done with Yakima racks. No more taking off wheels, hoisting it on top, bugs, bad gas mileage, etc. Should be much better.

Talk to you all later... :)

A Break...

Been awhile since my last bloggie post. Not too much has happened since my last update...we had a visit from my mom from Arizona, Heather's mom stayed with us last week, and that's about it. Here are some pictures.

Closeup!

(Almost) naked baby!
All bundled up.

London Trip

Hello all. Made it back from London yesterday. The flights there and back were both fine, pretty empty planes so I sat by myself and watched movies/played video games/read. The training for the European Trek employees went well...it sounds like they will be launching P1 over there in a couple weeks now.

While we were there, London had it's worst snowfall in 18 years, which shutdown the airports, buses, subways, etc. It was humorous, as it didn't seem like more than 1-2 inches fell in most parts of the city. Here are a bunch of crappy pictures:

The "epic" snowfall.

The Trek UK office.
A naked rugby player advertisement.

London Bridge being guarded by a battleship.

St. Paul's Cathedral.

The road crossing into Buckingham.

Phallic monument of Winston Churchill.

Some sort of massive building.

Far away shot of Big Ben.

A castle equipped with a ferris wheel.

Park/river/island.

Front of Buckingham Palace.

And that's it.

Then I came back home because I missed Heathrow and little Annie B. Sounds like Heather will be doing a 2-month old Annie tribute blog post tomorrow, so be sure to check that out.

Also, the weather is warming up here in WI (30's and 40's), which means one thing: Lunch rides at work are starting. :)

Ramblings

Life continues on here in the Abraham household. Little Annie B is now almost 6 weeks old...crazy! She's starting to sleep pretty well at night, only getting up once or twice. I'm sure Heather appreciates that. :)
Lots of fun stuff coming up soon. Next weekend we might be getting a visit from the Abraham grandparents, the following weekend I will be in London for 3 days training the Euro Trek people all about Project One, two weeks later Mom will be visiting from AZ, the weekend after that Heather is flying home to MI, etc. Before you know it, summer will be here. Which would be welcome right now with the temps we are currently experiencing...
