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...

Another New Arrival

It hardly seems like it's already been two weeks since lil Annie B came into our lives. She's doing great...starting to sleep a bit longer in between feedings, which I'm sure Heather appreciates. We've had plenty of visitors already...a couple sets of grandparents, Auntie Alane, and of course Auntie Tonia. Heather posted some new pics up on her blog.

I got a new toy as well last week. They're projecting another record year of snowfall here in WI, and I was getting really sick of shoveling. So after our first big snowstorm, I went and bought myself a new snowblower.

It's pretty small compared to the old Ariens that I remember growing up with at home, but I am impressed with its throwing power. It has a really good power-to-weight ratio, and it greatly reduces my driveway clearing time. :)

I hope everyone has a great Xmas!

Welcome!

Welcome to little Annabelle Sage Abraham! She was born on Saturday. Heather updated her blog with pics as well. :)

Auntie Tonia was in town as well...it was nice having her around the house as we got used to Annabelle living with us. Plus, she helped us finish up the baby's room. :)

Visits

Our visit to MI last weekend was fun. Had a big Tday meal at the Josef family farm and got lots of goodies at the baby shower. We even had some nice snow coming back home...it wasn't nearly as bad as last year though, just some delays going through Chicago.

This past week has been busy at work and home. The house is starting to come together...continuing the prep work for LBA (little baby Abraham). We brought in reinforcements for this week, as Tonia is paying us a visit from AZ. I picked her up at the airport yesterday, and she is here until next Friday. We already put her to work. :)

Here are some pics that Auntie Alane took a few weeks ago while she was here:

Pass it to me, I'm open!

A three picture sequence...

Take a look at this kid...he's sick! Parts 1 and 2 are on there too.
