Nightschool

The kids spent most of their day having a Christmas party with some of their homeschool friends. So tonight I did the dishes while they did homework. Lisette wrote some poems, Miles did his online math, Ian practiced typing, and Saffron watched Winnie the Pooh to sharpen her hearing skills and color recognition.

Work has been pretty busy lately. We have been upgrading a lot of our systems, which is very good, but it keeps you hopping. This is what we have upgraded in the last 6 weeks:
  1. Accounting software (Microsoft Dynamics GP)
  2. Time keeping system (Stromberg Enterprise)
  3. E-mail (Microsoft Exchange 2007)
  4. Web server (Dell Server with MS IIS 6.0)
  5. Internet service (an additional T1 line from First Digital)
  6. Backup hardware and software (Symantec BackupExec and Quantum LTO2's)
And next month we will be finalizing the e-mail and getting a new phone system and fax server. I've had to do a lot of updates and reboots at night from home, so I'm very glad my work provides DSL for me. Now if only they could give me a couple of extra hours in the day...

This is such a cute picture. Saffron is the best. She looks like she is concentrating so hard.
