We were lucky enough to get to go visit my parents in the Bahamas last week. The entire family flew down which was not as bad as you’d think. Isabella was a doll in Elias’ car seat the entire time, even napping at her normal times. Elias did well also, but keeping a 3y/o entertained […]

This post is a few weeks late. I’ve been super busy lately, then we were away (from computers) for vacation visiting my parents on the boat. So I’m just now getting to posting our last shots from 2011/Xmas. We had a great Christmas with Nikki’s family here in RI. I also managed to get out […]

Sorry I haven’t posted much in the last few weeks. I’ve been slammed with work and holiday priorities, then I got to get away and sail avalanche to the Bahamas (that post is coming right after this one). Isabella has been struggling though a cold for a few weeks now. She’s getting much better and […]

yeah, but still not enough to ski… Dave and I went up to Tuckermans Ravine Saturday the 10th. We had great plans of an epic sunrise over the ravine as well as hermit lake. We left RI at midnight and Dave drove us “through the night” getting there at 4am. We then hiked in in […]

Well, we’ve had a long week with 2 sick kids this week. Elias has had a cough and cold that ended in him having an ear infection Saturday night. He had something similar a few months ago and we think it’s his tubes working their way out finally. Isabella went to the Drs last week […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKKI!!!! Sorry it’s been two weeks since my last update. We’ve just been super busy in the Jacobsen household with the holiday. Today is actually Nikki’s Bday. Funny thing about that is last night we were talking about how Isabella is also 8 months old today which lead us to calculate Nikki’s age […]

Sorry for not writing a bunch tonight, but the packers are on and I’m squeezing this post in between quarters… The best part of my week came tonight when Elias got to stay up with me to watch the Packers play on Monday night. The 8:30pm start is half an hour past his bedtime and […]

Been another busy week. I’ve been sorting out my camera kit a bit lately, so ignore the pictures of gear in the images below. I’ve also been working on updating the theme here on BJP.com. It’s basically an update of the same theme I’ve been using for a while now, but I’ve customized it a […]

Technically it’s been 2 weeks for a family update, so sorry! Last weekend we had our huge NSOPgiving BBQ in the back yard with 40 people here. It’s always a blast, but it’s a weekend long event starting Friday night with some friends flying in then and going through Monday AM for one final sunrise […]

What’s a BRZ? It’s Subaru’s new 2 door coupe that they’ve developed with Toyota… The Toyota version is officially being called the GT86, the Subaru is called the BRZ which stands for boxer (the motor type) Rear (the wheels the power goes to, yes this is NOT AWD) and Zenith (the concept’s code name). It […]

Had a little party for the forum at the house this weekend. What a blast! We ended up with 25 adults and 15 kids in the end and everyone had a great time. It’s always a blast to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones. It’s also crazy meeting someone in real […]

Another week in the books. Not much to report since our trips to Ikea. We got Elias bed and swing together and he LOVES them. We returned the table we picked up for the same one in black (instead of birch which was too light) and the next size down. This weekend was spent getting […]

You bet! It was a gorgeous weekend with highs in the 80s so we took the chance to get out to Block Island this weekend. We made the 5:15pm ferry Friday night and had a great 1.5 days out there returning Sunday AM in time for a brunch party at the Plumbs. We made it […]
