This week has been an interesting one all around. You may not remember but just before Microsoft offered to buy Yahoo, Yahoo announced that there would be some layoffs. This week they happened. Almost nobody here in Urbana was let go, but a few were. The amazing thing here is that on the mailing list that was set up of alumni of the Motorola facility within the same day there were more job leads in town posted than there were people let go, along with several out of town ones as well. However, me and about 20 other people will be changing what we do somewhat significantly. Yahoo is divided up into several big groups. Originally 3 of these groups hired people here and now the one that I work for is reducing the number of facilities that they operate in, so everyone that I work with is switching to the largest of the other two groups.
Susan has had a bit of a difficult time this last week. She has helped Rachel pack every weekday morning. You saw what it did to Alice in one of Susan’s previous blog posts. But I think she is dealing with it OK, along with her new callings.
Here are some new videos of Alice. This first one really shows how old Alice is getting, despite some commenter's reluctance to admit it. She already can say a few words, and understands a lot more. It is hard to believe that in less than a month she will be a year old.

These other two are mostly just Alice carrying things around and playing. Susan took them to satiate the cries for more things Alice.

Alice really digs that toy phone. We think she's texting all her buddies.
