One week and Becca gets here.

Oh, boy! I am so excited to share this experience with her. Some of the work we have been doing, is shown in the pictures:

The picture at the top left is the antenna we made on duroid, and the other picture is of a guy who helped us prepare the antenna on a piece of sapphire in the clean room. We do it on sapphire, because pure sapphire made in a laboratory is Al2O3. Alumina! It makes a good substrate for this, but I don't know that much about antennas to tell you why.

The thrust of my work has been a computer code, so nothing pretty to put in here. :) We have made some friends in the aerospace department, shown with us by the overflow area for water drainage. It's a pretty green color, isn't it? From the left to right, that is Subu, Rob, Caleb, Brijesh Griffin (Yes, Griffin), Bouhl, and yrs trly.

More soon. Love to all.

They Love to Laugh

Day at the Pool

We have been spending a lot of time at the pool lately. The kids liked swimming but LOVED drawing with wet chalk. The best part is all the chalk on Henry's back.

Virtual Dad

Billy sent us a picture of himself in India. It is now our desktop wallpaper.

Truck Play

This is mostly for Billy's benefit but, I thought it was cute...

Gymboree Graduate

Lucy had her last day at Gymboree on Tuesday. She has been going there for over two years and was a little sad to be finished, but very excited to be starting kindergarten this August.


Her favorite teacher, Ms Gina, made all the difference. Lucy really likes her!

More of What Billy's Missing

Henry has started playing with his trucks more. He likes to push them around as he crawls after them. I also believe he is teething as evidenced by the excess drool.
