July 4th 2008!
by Ben
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! The 4th also happens to be Andy’s birthday (60 this year, but don’t tell him I told you!) so it’s always a big party down at their beach cottage. Unfortunately this year the motorboat was stuck to the trailer (the people who painted the bottom put it down wet apparently) so […]
Daddy Daycare!
by Ben
Today was my first “entire day” alone with Elias. I’m on vacation, and Nikki used all hers when Elias was born, (I took a week then too, but this week is mandatory where I work) so I’m on vacation alone. It’s not my first time taking care of Elias alone by any stretch of the […]
Tuesday night destruction?
by Ben
Well we raced again last night and collected yet another DFL (due to our rating). We had a great time, but ended up having an embarrassing moment at the dock at the end of the night. Our boat is having some teething issues with its keel. The supplied keel wedges were way too small, so […]
Elias week 17 update!
by Ben
Well Elias is getting bigger and more fun every day it seems. He’s now rolling over (when he wants) either way. His patterns are much easier to recognize for us which is great. He’s just becoming and awesome little dude that’s just fun to hang out with. Not that he wasn’t before, but the giggle […]
RI Airshow 2008
by Ben
Went to the RI Airshow on Saturday. We had a few members of my photography site come over to shoot it as well, then we had an awesome BBQ on the deck afterwards. We all had a ton of fun, and got some decent images even though it was hazy. Most of us also got […]

Tuesday night mayhem?
by Ben
Went out racing last night. Well “racing”. We drifted across the bay in NO WIND but actually, the boat sailed pretty well for the little wind we did have provided we kept it as heeled as possible. Our start was a non event with NO wind and we just sat there… There was an awesome […]
2 weeks late?
by Ben
OK, I’m a little behind on the updates… sorry! It’s been super busy. We had Lora and Chris’ wedding last weekend with the rehearsal on Sunday and the Wedding on Monday. So with all the other things going on in our life as well as that I’m a little behind. These are most of the […]
Chris & Lora’s Wedding
by Ben
Nikki’s cousin Lora got married Monday! It was an awesome wedding at the Glenn in Portsmouth. Nikki was in the wedding, so that meant I was Elias’ handler the entire night. Check out the shots as you’ll see some very interesting shots of me with Elias throughout the night, as well as Nikki and of […]

Big Smile!!!

Elias 13 week update!
by Ben
Elias is now officially 3 months old. He’s getting a ton bigger and more active. He can roll from his belly to his back pretty much at will now. He’s talking (baby talk) up a storm these days. We try to keep him going as long as possible asking him questions and whatnot. I’m sure […]
Elias week 12 update!
by Ben
Well Elias is almost 3 months old now (he will probably be by the time you read this!). He can now roll over (see the video below for half a rolling over, he’s too quick to get on film!). He loves to talk with himself about who knows what. He’s almost giggling (we think he […]
First Tuesday night race…
by Ben
Raced sluff for the first time last night. It was the last race of the spring series. Yarrow offered to help me as Dad’s “stuck” delivering avalanche right now. We haven’t gotten our real rating yet from PHRF (they’re having a meeting for us this week) so they gave us a provisional rating of 108… […]
Elias week 11 update!
by Ben
Elias is actually in my lap as I type this… He’s getting bigger and stronger all the time. He can now roll over from his belly to his back. We’re working on getting it on camera but he’s done it probably 5 times this week. Nikki also went back to work for the first time […]
