Managed two 2.5-hr segments of sleep last night. Just woke up during feedings to give Sandra a neck massage while Kristen ate. Little babies are just so amazing. I did end up having two meetings this morning. One was very productive discussing my grant the other was setting up a students project. The afternoon was spent on family and Christmas stuff, I squeezed in a couple treadmill miles while Kaitlyn watched the Sword in the Stone.

Congratulations on the new arrival, what a wonderful Christmas gift! All our best to you, Sandra, Kaitlyn and Kristen! Sorry I did not get a note to you earlier, I just spaced reading the blog.

Congratulations and a blessed Christmas to you!

Thank you Paul. I hope you are ready for your first "family" Christmas. I like the picture of your little one riding the dog.
