Dad and I flew down to Grandma’s house Friday morning to help setup her new HDTV. She is a huge sports fan, and my Dad suggested getting anHD set when he was down there for her 88th birthday in early October. They went to Best Buy and picked out a set and setup a delivery…

We’ve been pregnant for almost 22 weeks now and today was another monthly update. We found out the sex, IT’S A BOY!!!. Nikki’s been going back and forth the whole time on it. Today in the doctors office she was thinking girl. Every family party we go to everyone seems to come to a consensus,…

Iway is a project in Providence where they’re redoing the I-195 and I-95 interchange. They’re about to open the first stage (95N to 195E) next week. Before they did that, they were nice enough to open the bridge for walkers. Nikki, my Mom and I decided to go check it out (Dad was home with…

We went to the Hartford to watch on of our friends run in the race. Danielle’s goal was to qualify for Boston. To do that she had to run in under 3:40:59. She got 3:3x:xx. Not sure of the time, but she made it! We had a great time watching the race. It was fun…

Nikki has always wanted to go to the corn maize at Escobar’s farm in Portsmouth. This year we finally made the trip, and it’s actually a lot of fun. They’ve been doing this for 7 years, and each year it’s a different maize. This years maize is in the shape of a barn, silo and…

We had another fun weekend. Saturday was Debbie’s (my mother in law) 60th birthday. We woke up early, walked on the beach, then went off to the store to get supplies for cheesecake. Nikki got called into work (emergency treatment for 2 dogs) so I stayed home and whipped up 2 of my famous cheesecakes…

We had our 16 week checkup today… Awesome visit as we spent nearly 15 minutes checking out the baby on the ultrasound. 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 kidneys, 2 lungs 4 heart chambers, the head of an 18 week old (just like Dad?!) bones, everything but the sex… Even if we’d wanted to know the…

I’ve been going through all my old digital images in an attempt to get everything organized. I’m also working on setting up my better images over on www.benjacobsenphoto.com to sell them. In the process I found an old fun shot of Nikki, one of me and Nikki on our first anniversary, a few of Moseley,…

Today’s the boat show. It’s pouring right now so we have our foul weather gear on, but were still going. We’re specifically headed to the Melges booth to interrogate them about the 20′. I’ll post pictures and any info I have when I get home. Update: OK, I’m home. We went to the show Saturday.…

OK, file this under the nasty things department… When we were down on my parents boat over the Christmas/New Year holiday this winter I bumped my forearm on something while diving. I got a small cut on my arm and never thought anything of it. Well in the last month or so it felt a…
