Mom and Chloe are both doing well.

Chloe has a pretty good head of dark brown and straight hair. She has a beautiful, round head and resembles her older sister, but definitely has her own features. So far, she has been a very happy baby and is coming along well with her eating.

On Chloe’s birthday, she was visited by both sets of grandparents, her sister, two aunts, two uncles, four cousins, her aunt’s fiance and her uncle’s girl friend.

Mom and I are definitely looking forward to getting our little girl home and enjoying being part of a slightly larger family.

Thanks to all for there prayers and support and taking part in welcoming our new baby girl.

I love you, Daddy.

We managed to get Ansley all bundled up to go outside for a few minutes before getting ready for Church.  Unfortunately, Ansley did not have any proper shoes for playing in the snow, so most of our time was spent in the driveway catching the snowflakes and playing with some of Ansley’s favorite outside toys, including ‘farmer’, a ride-on toy that plays Old Macdonald, and her bubble mower.  I don’t think that she minded that we didn’t play in the snow.  She kept saying that everything was ’dirty.’  This is also the same reaction we had at the beach.  The girl does not like to get her hands, feet, or anything else for that matter covered with any foreign substance.  Snow definitely fits that bill in Alabama.

I am in the middle of a break from school. I go back on the 27th of May for the first of two five-week mini semesters. I will be taking a Management course and a Managerial Economics course this summer. In the fall, I will be taking two distance learning courses in the Engineering Management department. After that, I will have three classes to graduate.

At work today, there was a shooting in my building. I didn’t even know about it until Allison called to see if I was OK. Our campus has approximately 1,500 employees and the building that I work in has eight stories and is one of the largest buildings in Huntsville. The incident appears to have been between an employee and a relative. The police arrested the suspect shortly after the incident at his apartment. The person who was shot, was shot through a door (very thick solid wood) and the bullet ‘grazed’ his shoulder. He didn’t go to the hospital immediately, so it must have been a minor injury. I guess this might have been scary if I had known it happened, but it really seems kind of surreal. Allison and I ate dinner in Madison and the Huntsville police officers that responded and caught the suspect were eating at the same restaurant. You could tell that it was not a normal day at the office for them. We saw one of the officers on TV capturing the shooter at a Madison apartment complex.

Anyway, I have lots of pictures that I need to get added to my galleries. The real holdup has been learning the tools I use to create the galleries. I am trying to figure out how to create a better template to make it go faster. I will post again when I put up another gallery.

I feel like I have learned these concepts in about five different classes, although none have been called statistics. One of my EE classes, Signals and Systems, contained a lot of probability and statistics.

So far, this semester seems that it will be similar to last semester. I have a Monday and Thursday class where one is discussion and theory and the other is mathematical.

Hopefully, the results of this semester will be the same.
