Operations have expanded

This past Friday we experienced a reorganization and I find myself now reporting to two bosses.  Management, of course, maintains her position with her span of control expanding slightly while I find myself reporting to a slightly more demanding superior.

Gabriella Ann Elwood was born Friday, December 29th, weighing in at 8 lbs 15 oz and stretching herself out to a lanky 21 inches.  My former employers, Mom and Pop LLC, are hedging her entry into the basketball marketplace.  Management remains convinced that competitive shopping is in her future.  Myself, I’m hoping she rolls her own Linux kernel by three.  Anyway you look at it, she is well loved.

She might just take up my hairstyle for a bit...

    Wow! Congratulations James. Her being so tall was assuredly helped by her being in her nice, warm oven slightly longer than expected (would YOU want to leave such a good deal?? :-))

    She truly is beautiful, & I absolutely LOVE her name. Enjoy every single breath and take MUCHO MUCHO pictures (& don’t go very long without camcorder footage…. they grow very, very FAST!).

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We got home very late last night after a harrowing 6 day stay in the hospital and now the real work begins. Everyone is doing well, a little sleep deprived, well excepting Gabriella of course, but we are managing. :-D
