Personal
updates, random thoughts, and stuff that I resist emailing to everyone
on my contact list so I'll just post it here.

Here are a couple new photos
of Tegan.. taken this month, her first Christmas.

Have you seen the new TruexCullins
Blog? Soon after the launch of the new website
earlier this year, my trusty employer followed up with the official
company blog. (And yes, there's a facebook page, too.) The blog
actually is a good way for visitors to find out about what's happening
in the wonderful world of Truex, and it has given us a vehicle to
post timely information, quickly.
My
latest post was written last week for the NEIRA conference. Ten
Tips to Improve your Inn or Resort is a piece I wrote that is
directed toward owners of small-to-medium sized inns, resorts, and
bed-and-breakfasts. This article is a product of the TruexCullins
Resort Studio.
The
(funky) Office of the Future is a short reflection on the trend
of whimsically-designed office spaces, spurred by a New York Post
article that features offices with kiddie slides. This is the first
post of hopefully many from the TruexCullins Workplace Studio.

Most of the leaves have now fallen, and Anna had a swell
time this afternoon jumping in the piles.
Ahh,
to be five... Here are some more
photos of the fun and frolic.

Child # 2 is not getting nearly as much camera time as
Child #1 did. We try to keep up to the standard we set the first
time around, but with a kindergartener in the house, our energy
tends to go towards maintaining the daily routine. And taking good
photos of a six-week old infant is really a two-person job: one
to hold the baby and the other to shoot the camera. For the short
amount of time that we're both home, the second person is always
either getting Anna out of bed, getting Anna off to school, making
a meal, or getting Anna ready for bed.
All
of this is to explain the lag in the Tegan photos. But since it's
been a few weeks, I looked thru the memory card and posted a
few new ones.
Last
weekend, I also took some shots of the local foliage. Here's some
nice color in front of our house:

There are some new
photos of Tegan... age: three weeks.

Everyone is noticing how Tegan looks so much like Anna
did when she was born. It's true. Here's the proof:

We've
also added a page for Tegan's photos.. not wanting her to feel left
out, since we did the same for Anna.
Check back often to watch
Tegan grow.

Welcome to the world, Tegan Rose Bushey! On Thursday night
at 8:09pm, our baby daughter surprised us all by arriving a day
before we expected. She's a healthy baby girl, weighing in at 9
lbs, 13 oz., and measuring 21" long. We're all home from the
hospital now and mother and daughter are doing great. Anna loves
her new baby sister, and Bruno has been behaving well also. (Well,
except for that one incident when he chewed Tegan's favorite pacifier.)
We
think she looks a lot like Anna did as a baby, with her thick dark
hair, deep blue eyes, and round baby face. Here are some photos
from the first 24 hours of her life:

Anna had a terrific first day of kindergarten. We're lucky
to live so close that we can join the other families in the neighborhood
and walk to school every morning. We cross the street by our house
(with the help of Bob the Crossing Guard) and take the shortcut
which leads down to Pine Street. It's about a 12 minute walk, and
Anna's already looking forward to taking her bike.
This
morning, all the kids and their parents gathered outside in front
of the school, and at 8:10 the teachers welcomed everyone to the
new school year. The kids lined up by their teachers and marched
off to their classrooms.
