It’s been almost a month since the last update and since most posts have been about Alice (who’s now 4 months old!!), you can probably guess why there have been no updates!

A quick recap of the last month:

1. Kim & Rob celebrated their first anniversary on August 1st! 1 down…. MANY to go 🙂 Things just keeping better and better…. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing partner to go on life’s many voyages with!

2. Rob’ s back to work. I started at WWF Canada (wildlife, not wrestlin!) as their new Infrastructure Architect. Lots of fun server virtualization in the works as I design and build out a new infrastructure. For the geeks out there: HP Blade System (C3000 enclosure) w/ latest gen BL460c’s, loaded w/ CPU & RAM, Flex-10 virtual connects, LeftHand SANs (2 for multi-site) and more! Busy times ahead… so unless Kim’s doing the updates, don’t expect too many 🙂

3. We have a new brother-in-law and are happy to welcome Steve Scott into the family! Kim’s sister Yvonne & Steve got married on July 24th. Beautiful ceremony and a great time! 🙂

4. Trip to Alberta – Although the wedding was the primary driver for the trip, Alice’s Opa, Aunts, and Uncle hadn’t met her yet. She traveled really what a trooper! I had never seen the Rockies before, so while we were out there, we took a very casual 900 km one day road trip to “tour the surroundings” 🙂 Got some great pics, but haven’t had a chance to put an album together yet.

5. Down to Windsor for a visit. I’m actually on the train right now, heading to Windsor. Kim & Alice left 2 days ago, but I had to work so I am taking the train to meet up with them. Kim sent me a great shot of Alice’s first swim! I really didn’t want to have to wait until she was as old as she is (4 months) before getting her in the pool…. but we had little choice due to scheduling conflicts! 😛 I guess I could have brought her in the river up @ the nutshell, but the water was a wee bit chilly for me…. Alice would have turned 6 shades of blue!

I’m sure a lot more happened over the past few weeks, but that’s all I can recall for now.

Alice is doing great, as are the rest of the Girards. See you back again soon for another update…. hopefully one that includes some pics!

Cheers!
