Everyone, including Liam, was happy with the Colts win this past weekend :)

Liam is starting to drool A LOT! So he's sporting a bib most of the time these days :) We got him a cute "Grandma's Prince Charming" outfit, but I couldn't get him to smile for the picture - next time he's wearing it! He and Maggie had a staring contest the other day - it's really the first time he's noticed her and he stared and yelled at her :)

Part of my job involves keeping up on the latest technology, which sometimes means going to geek tech conferences, like PDC,  all in an effort to keep my "nerdness" as high as possible. For those of you that are normal and don't follow such things, the PDC or Professional Developers Conference, is a Microsoft only event that is sort of like a Car Show for Microsoft Products.   Although, at this car show you get to meet the people who make the car, have classes about driving them, get to actually take a test drive and are wined and dined throughout the whole week.  So really, it's nothing like a car show except that they are both usually in a enormous convention center.

Some of the highlights for me involved the free dinner that our team got that was sort of a result of the work we had done earlier in the year with our GPS product.  Microsoft also rented out Universal Studios for a night and gave everyone free alcohol and food, which is sort of every kids dream to be in an amusement park with no lines and everything is free.  Here are some pics from that debacle:

Above is the peeps from my team (Sitara, Jamie, me, Kevin) and in the middle is what you get when you give away things for free.

Oh yeah and the park was done up for Halloween which was really sweet.

And yes I did go to the convention...

I also made it on to one of the Microsofties blogs,Virtual Earth PDC Team, just another notch in the old nerd totem pole (see below).

Grandma and Grandpa Gray were out over Halloween weekend, so we all went up to Carlsbad for a little vacation. Liam dressed in a little pumpkin outfit and was a good smiley boy for Grandma and Grandpa. We went to the Museum of Making Music and Greg tried to play the drums with Liam in his Bjorn.

Liam is now 2 months old!

Aunt Christy was here visiting over the weekend, so we took Liam to the zoo. He was a good boy and was awake for some of the day, but then slept through the rest of the time :) He's getting bigger every day!
