Elias is 7 months old already?
Wow, time flies when you’re changing diapers. Elias turned 7 months on Thursday. He’s really starting to get to the point where he’s fun now. Or I should say where the fun times way outweigh the difficult times. He can sit up on his own, and does all the time now. He’s still scooting, but…

Kyle surf shots:
Another week, another hurricane. This time it was Kyle, and he went east of us, off the tip of the cape, but close enough we got a good swell, some wind, and a ton of rain. I went down to the Monohan’s dock again to check it out.

Moving w/o moving is still a lot of work…
Moving you ask? Well, Nikki and I have been playing with other ideas for the layout of our house. We’ve been in the biggest bedroom upstairs, but that leaves Elias’ room on the way to ours. The problem there is he has no real door to his room, so it’s noisy and bright. That means…

EAJ week 27 update.
Well Elias is still not yet crawling. He’s a faster scooter though. And he’s been talking up a storm lately as well. He’s also eating more and more real food. Unfortunately we were supposed to go to Block Island last weekend, and then again this weekend but it seems the weather doesn’t want us to…

Elias turns 6 (months)!
Elias is 6 months old already, can you believe it? It’s crazy it’s gone by this fast honestly. He’s getting big. He’s 90% in height, and normal (50%) in head size and weight. He’s still scooting around the house, but he’s getting much better/faster at it. He’ll “chase”/follow Moseley around now and grab onto his…

Hanna Brings some waves!
Hanna blew through town last night. We got some heavy rain Saturday and a bit of breeze, but nothing worse than we get from a nor’ easter… She did kick up a decent swell though, so I headed down to Monohan’s in Narragansett to shot this morning. The waves were great and the crowd was…

senior I
Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a film scanner. Well it’s not really a film scanner, it’s a scanner that can scan film (or so the geeks will tell you). But it works and it scans slides, negatives (B+W or color) and most importantly 120 and 35mm film. What’s 120? Well it’s medium…

EAJ 25 week update
Well Elias is almost crawling at this point. He’s up onto his hands and legs, and can move, but not both at the same time. He’ll scoot from one end of his blanket to the other in less than a minute and loves following Mo from one side to the other. He’s also eating more…

Old Slides
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.

EAJ 24 week update
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…

Fools Rules Regatta 2008!
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…

Elias is a scooter!!!
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 5 Month update.
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,…

2008 Newport Folk Festival (featuring Jimmy Buffet!).
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…
