And The Babies Just Keep on Coming!

The baby boom at IdeaStar has been going strong with five new babies in the past six months. Systems Administrator Scott "Chuck" Whitaker and his wife Kari recently joined the boom as they welcomed baby Jocelyn Nicole as the newest member of their family. Chuck and Kari became parents on August 15 (and on August 16 Chuck stopped sleeping). We are so used to hearing crying and rattles around the office, we had to invite Jocelyn for an office visit right away...what a cutie!


The crowd gathers as Mom, Dad and Jocelyn make their grand entrance.



Chuck smiles. Is it the baby or the new, really cool off-road stroller?

We Have Arrived

The first few weeks have been a little hectic, but overall, life is good at the new IdeaStar office. As final pieces of furniture arrive and pictures are hung on the walls, everyone seems to be settling in. There is ongoing discussion about the best places to eat lunch (even a few e-mails have circulated) and the best ways to avoid the Rockside Road traffic crisis.

Although we're still working on conference rooms and artwork, Thursday was the official "opening" of the office. Clients, families, and friends stopped by to check out our new digs. It was a great time! Thanks to everyone for coming.


Hallway Bowling. The newest sport at IdeaStar. It might not hurt to get some new pins!



Our front entrance is really snazzy! Cross your fingers and hope the furniture gets here soon.



The creative corner has quite a "dorm room" feel. Keep it down in there!



Nic has given her office a Jurassic Park theme.
