Vovo Turns 100!!!
Nikki’s Mom’s Mom Vovo turned 100 Monday! The family threw a huge party for her Sunday which was a ton of fun. It was crazy having the entire family and all her friends together in one place again, it was like a wedding reception! Beyond Vovo turning 100, Isabella managed to get bronchitis. The machine you…

IJJ 25 week update!
I’m trying not to let the personal blog posts get too behind here either, so I’m adding the last weeks update now, even though it’s less than a week from the last update. Anyway, I found some shots on my NEX after hiking with it this weekend from a day I got to get out…

Mount Washington!
Went to Mount Washington this weekend. I’m working on a project with some friends for PBS right now, so we hiked Tuckerman’s. We also had enough time to go all the way to the top for my first time ever. It was a great day for it, ~70º at the bottom and ~50º at the…

IJJ update #24
Well it’s been a long week and a half since my last update. Sorry about the delay, but I’ve been quite busy with photography work taking my processing time away from personal projects. This is a good thing though. Not a whole lot to report this week. Isabella is now eating and “demanding” food (if…

IJJ Update 23
Another week in the books and I still feel like I’m trying to catch up! Since the hurricane it’s been constant catchup with processing as I was shooting the entire time we were w/o power, but couldn’t process any of it. I’ve still got one more project to process and another two to shoot (then…

Irene!
It’s been a busy few weeks… This post covers a few things, the first wedding I’ve officially shot, a hurricane, us winning our first viper race, us losing our first viper race a week later, taking the boat apart and reassembling between those two, no power for 4.5 days and a bunch of other fun…

avalanche IV?!
Another fun week/weekend in the books! Summers are far too short around here, so we have to pack as much in as possible (although I’ve heard some grumblings about wishing winter was here and the first issue of POWDER came this week?!). We missed Tuesday night’s sluff race because a nasty rain storm was in…

Elias goes Landscaping!!!
We all went over to Debbie’s house Friday night to keep her company (she can’t drive and Andy is in Martha’s Vineyard). This meant I had to take Elias with me if I wanted to go shoot a sunrise the next morning, but Saturday was the best option weather wise… So I planted the seed…

Block Island!
Well we finally made it out to Block Island for the first time this summer. We’ve had a busy social schedule so far making it hard to get a weekend we could get away for, but we finally made it and boy did we have a good time! We took the ferry out Saturday AM…

Elias goes Viper sailing!!!
Had a great weekend this week. Friday night we went down to second beach for dinner with the Welbys. It was 105 in Providence so the relatively cool 85 in Newport felt awesome, then the ocean was just icing on the cake. Of course we went to Frosty Freeze on the way home! Then Saturday…

Portuguese Feast!
Well we had a great weekend this weekend. Friday night was the Portuguese Feast near Nikki’s parent’s house at the Portsmouth PAC. It’s been a tradition that we go every year and get chourico sandwiches, but with Elias being a bit over three now the rides have really become the main event. We had a miscommunication between…

2011 Air Show shots
I actually went to quonset on Sunday for the (record setting attendance/”sold out”) airshow. It was my first time going -vs- watching from either the beach near our house or by boat, which was awesome. I had Elias with me and this was during his nap time so he eventually hit his limit and asked…

Air Show BBQ 2011
We had our annual air show BBQ this weekend. It was a ton of fun. He had about 15 adults this year with somewhere around 10 kids. The kids had just as much fun as the adults running around our yard and our neighbors yard as well as the house. The adults got to enjoy a nice…

Aunt Jess & Uncle Ben came over!
We had a great weekend this weekend with Aunt Jess and Uncle Ben flying in to Rhode Island for the weekend. We hosted dinner at our house both on Thursday night (when they flew in) and Saturday night (their last night here) in our back yard which made it a ton of fun as we…
