James was born last week, and we still haven’t been able to go and see the little tyke because our kids have been sick. William was sick from about 8AM Thursday until later in the day, then Julia has been sick on and off since then. Yesterday it looked like Julia was finally through the worst of it, and then this morning, William had a relapse. Since we’re supposed to wait 48 hours symptom free before venturing into the public, that means that we haven’t been to see the new baby.

Fortunately Katriona has been keeping the world up to date with pictures. Good job on that by the way.

Meanwhile, the guy in the next cubicle over has taken a new job in a different department. I get to move into his cube, which has three times the windows of my current cube, but slightly less floor space. It’s a tradeoff that I’m willing to live with.

To top off the awesome weekend we had with sick kids, the garage door opener decided to kick the bucket part way through closing the garage door when I went out for groceries. I haven’t had a chance to see what’s going on with it, but initial indications aren’t very good. That means that I’ll have to finish clearing the other half of the driveway, and start using the other side of the garage. Not a huge deal, but a pain in the butt anyway.
