Congrats Mike!

I wanted to send out a big congratulations to Mike and his team at Microsoft. Today is the product launch of the long-awaited Microsoft Office PerformancePoint 2007 Management Reporter. Mike has been working hard on this product since he started in Microsoft almost three years ago! It is a great accomplishment and Mike is proud to have a product ship under his belt. He even gets three paid days off because of this completion! Yay!

Other exciting news in the McLean Family household is my venture into a new business! Yes, as many of you know, I have started my own Pampered Chef business. I am now officially a Consultant. I attended my very first Pampered Chef party in October and was intrigued by the business. I love to cook, I love to sell, and I love being in front of people. What can get better than that? So, I eagerly signed up and have been building my business since then. This was the perfect time to start because of the New Year, I have many goals to fulfill and it is comforting to know that I have a full twelve months to reach them! I have booked a few shows and I am anxious to get the gears turning in full swing!

And for our little tyke Alex---he keeps getting bigger, funnier, and naughtier! He definitely has a sense of humor that compares to none! He makes us laugh daily with his antics such as putting buckets, baskets, and strainers on his head. He loves to get buried under pillows and triumphantly emerge from them. He is a seasoned architect building blocks high and knocking them over. He has mastered the art of putting toys from one place to another. He climbs furniture like a rock climber. He is our own Evil Kneivel, balancing on his riding toys, boxes, and anything that can hold his weight. We have our fair share of scares and here's hoping to no trips to the hospital soon :)

That's it from the homefront! Will be updating more with pics soon!
