Well I’ve finally managed to integrate my gallery2 site with a wordpress blog. I was trying to use the plugin that would handle everything for me, but I couldn’t get it working. What I ended up doing is editing the themes I’m using for both the blog and gallery2 so they match. It’s not perfect,…

Well we had a wonderful 3 day weekend. It’s the “end of the summer” weekend, so there was a lot of work to be done, but we also had some fun too. Friday night was a fun get together in MA with one of Nikki’s great friends. I was a bit of the “odd man…

Nikki and I went for a nice walk with Moseley tonight at Seal Point. If you’ve never been there before, it’s called Seal Point because (in the winter) it’s where the seals hang out. It’s also an awesome point in Narragansett Bay with gorgeous views. I also got a picture of Nikki looking a little…

Another month, another doctor’s appointment. It’s the end of the first trimester officially now. Nikki’s starting to show enough so people who don’t know her might guess it… We’re starting the 13th week today. We heard the baby’s heart beat for the first time today which was incredible. It’s heart rate was 160bpm which is…

We made it home… Not that that should be a surprise… Anyway, I’ll be posting more images later, but we had a fantastic trip. We finally got to meet Linnea’s Mom and had a wonderful time catching up with Linnea, meeting her Mom, and Matthew. We also got a chance to go to Shelburne Museum…

We’re going up to Vermont to visit a great friend Linnea this weekend. I “grew up” in upstate NY so I’ve spent a lot of time in the area, but I don’t think I’ve been back to that neck of the woods in summer since 1991. I can’t wait to go back. We’re planning on…

Went to the doctor for another checkup. Pregnancy really is amazing. We’re 10 weeks pregnant now. We’re both very excited about the whole process. It’s been a great learning experience for us so far. We both have several friends that have beaten us “to the punch” so we’ve learned a lot through them and have…

I’m really liking the NexGen gallery software. It seems easy enough to use and I can insert pictures alone, or as a gallery. Here’s an old gallery from my Pbase account that I added recently of some great old shots from our wedding and honeymoon:

WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!! 7 Weeks and 1 Day as of last night. I’ll be posting many more detail in the time to come, but we had our first Doctor’s Appt last night and got a sonogram so I figured I’d share the news!!!!

Made it home safe last night. In total it was about 3150 miles driven and a few hundred on ferries. I’ll be doing a full writeup with tons of pictures over at www.awesomeroadtrips.com but I’ll also put some of the info here when I get caught up. I have 900+ photos to sort through so…

Yep, it’s that time of year again. We’re on vacation this week. Can’t wait. We’re going on a crazy Canadian Road Trip. I’ll be sure to update you with pics when we get home. Be sure to read about the whole trip over on www.awesomeroadtrips.com

Well one of my best friends bit the bullet and got married. We were invited to J and Jocelyne’s wedding in Dalton Georgia. Nikki and I love road trips, so we took a few days off and made it a road trip. We drove down to Asheville NC for the first night. I’ve heard a…
