    Nikki and I were going through some old slides and I took some time to take some pictures of them to share.  These are all from 1999.  It’s pretty interesting to see 10 years later all my favorites have Nikki in them.  We’ve been to some incredible places.

    Elias keeps growing and growing!  He’s closer to crawling, and has this scooting thing down pretty well at this point.  He’s also starting to push himself up onto all 4s a lot more now.  He and Mo are getting to be good friends.  Well, maybe I should say Elias LOVES watching/touching Mo, and Mo puts…

    I must admit, I’ve lived in (or very close to) Jamestown since 1991, but I had never been to the Fools Rules Regatta.  I knew about it, I knew Chris Powell was the “chief fool” (he runs the regatta) and I knew the basics.  I’d just always had other commitments the day of the event…

    Well Elias can officially move himself around now.  Not far (yet) but he can scoot on his belly across his blanket on the floor.  He’s now chasing down the toys he’s most interested in including Moseley!  Mo has been very good with Elias.  The only issue so far is he loves to lick Elias including…

    Elias is getting bigger and more coordinated by the minute it seems.  He’s not crawling, but we fear that’s around the corner.  He can maneuver himself around the floor pulling himself along with his arms if he’s on a blanket, and he can continually roll himself over to get to things.  It’s fun to watch,…

    We had an awesome day on Sunday.  Elias got to go for his first boat ride and ended up going for 2 boat rides!  We went to the Newport Folk fest.  The first ride was Grandpa Jake’s dinghy out to the second boat, Pop pop’s Whisper.  Dad and I went for a sail on sluff…

    Elias seems to be growing and growing every day lately. We’re working on feeding him real food. He doesn’t seem to love it, but he does it about half of what goes in (the other half comes back out onto his bib). We’ve been doing rice cereal, but this week we’ve tried sweet potatoes and…
