New Job!

Well we made a decision! We have accepted an offer from Knolls Atomic Power Lab, operated by Lockheed Martin. I will be a nuclear reactor designer and no I cant tell you more, or I will have to kill you (possibly literally, since I have to get a top secret department of energy security clearance). Next August we will be moving to Schenectady New York. Schenectady is just north of Albany, the state capital. We will be roughly 2 1/2 hrs from New York city, Pilly, Boston and Montreal. We are really excited to live on the east coast, but at the same time sad to be so far away. As we prepare to move we will let everyone know more. We love you!

Love,

Levi, Torrie and Emma

el Tour de Tucson

Well, I am still trying to learn how to label the pictures. I will figure it out one of these days-in the meantime, the 1st picture was taken near our park where David and Bryce stopped to leave their jackets w/us and get a drink. The 2nd picture is just one of many I took of the groups that rode by as we watched-there were about 9,000 riders in all. The 3rd one, well, I think it explains itself, the end of the race and he made it! Time: 5hours, 50 mins., not bad for an old man of 51! And the last is best; it was worth it all! With his "gold" medal hanging around his neck. Congratulations David!

Mexico

Well, the labels got messed up on the pictures, but I tried! Dad & I went down to Mexico Sat for the "Christmas Caravan. We just wished we could have taken more down. There is never enough for all the needw to be met. It was cold, but the people were eager to see what we had for them, not enough, that's for sure. I have lots of other pictures, but don't want to clog the blog with them. I will post more if you would like.
This made me appreciate all I have!
Love, Mom & Dad

Happy "Haupt" Holidays

We enjoyed another wonderful "Haupt Family" White Christmas Party. We got 12 inches of fresh snow Saturday, but that didn't stop us. We had a great time eating (always a favorite), playing games, singing and just enjoying each others company. Adair was the winner of the favorite "White Elephant" and stole "Ghostbusters" away. Just wait until next year...... We had our favorite visitor stop by, but we did miss Grandpa Claus. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year. "Happy Haupt Holidays". We love you.
