Leap Year News

Happy Leap Year! We managed to squeeze in quite a lot with the extra day this year. In fact, this was a big week for new jobs in the Liebat household.
Lila just returned from her 2nd trip to Shanghai this year. The first was during the worst snow storm in China's history...or at least the last 15 years. The shuttle bus in Shanghai, for example, was running 4 hours late one day. In the US, we call that a "snow day" and take the entire day off! :) Lila has been busy adjusting to her new role, including a reorganization of the team. This week was the first time her new staff all got together to start planning for their future. She has come back energized and optimistic about the work year ahead. Also, a bit frantic since our house warming / we're moving "all in one " party is tomorrow night. Fortunately, Karl has helped with a lot of the planning.
Karl has just accepted a new role this week. We'd write it here, but probably better to let his new boss officially announce it first! We are both excited how well the position suits his interests and experience.
We have decided our move date as March 23 -- a mere 3 weeks away!?! We also finally got our authorization and were contacted by the moving company. Not quite sure why it's taken SO long. We decided to rent our house through a property management company to keep it simple for us. Still haven't sorted out the cars. Want a convertible or 2?!
More to follow post-party.
