Lots of pics again this week.  Elias has been sick all week and of course shared it with Nikki and then they shared it with me.  Elias missed daycare all week with my mom helping 2 days and Debbie taking care of him Friday.  It’s such a relief having both grandmothers this close!  Elias also…

Ugh, Elias had croup. He woke up late Friday night (almost midnight) barking/coughing like a seal… It’s nothing too serious but the medication for it is a steroid that causes mood swings and irritability (among other things, but we’ve seen both of those). He does NOT have an ear infection though, so apparently that issue…

ugh, just got back from my parents house after watching the pack lose.  At least they showed up, but to have them lose in OT was a bit rough to watch.  Of course that came after watching the Pats lose miserably.  Like REALLY bad.  As for the rest of the week, I went skiing yesterday…

Happy New Year everyone!  It’s been another great year for us.  Elias is getting more and more fun all the time.  Photographically I’ve finished off another PAD project (photo a day) with almost all of the shots being taken of my favorite subject, ELIAS!  I’ve also managed to update the blog 97 times in a…

Merry Christmas Everyone!  Obviously that was 2 days ago, but we were racing around town visiting people, having Santa visit our house, and having some of Nikki’s friends over throughout the last couple of days so it’s been a but hectic.  We had a very nice Christmas with some great gifts amongst the adults while…

Went out shooting again this morning. Didn’t tell anyone where I was going as I needed some solo time to think about some things. I decided to go to Taylor Point in Jamestown as it’s got a great view of the bridge and is reasonably close to home (less than 30 minutes -vs- 45+ for…

Well I know this is a day late, sorry for that.  I just got asked to do a bus trip on Sunday which messed up our entire weekend schedule.  We ended up going to my parents for Christmas Dinner as they’re off the SLC and Telluride CO for actual Christmas.  We had a great time…

Elias got to meet Santa finally!  He’s been saying “Ho Ho Ho!!!” every time he’s seen one for a few weeks now, but his daycare had “breakfast with Santa” Saturday morning.  It was a fun event where we all had breakfast and they had Santa there ready to take requests.  Elias wasn’t ready to sit…

Well we had our third thanksgiving today.  2 weeks ago was with my photo friends at our house, last week was with Nikki’s family, then tonight we went over to my parents to catch up after their delivery south, so my mom figured why not cook a turkey?!  Which was of course amazing and I’m…

This week was pretty much awesome.  I got to ski last weekend, and we started this week with leftovers from last weekends Thanksgiving day w/my photo friends.  So I had awesome lunches all week and “all week” was only three days!  Thursday was Thanksgiving at the plumbs which was awesome as usual.  Friday we went…

Well this weekend was very entertaining!!!  Nikki had her Bday party at the Plumbs with Pat and Russell on Friday night.  I said 34th because there was a type-o on the cake!  But I’m sure that’ll come up again at some point…  Then I went skiing on Saturday for the first time of the year. …

Well we’re all starting to feel a bit better!  I’m still coughing a bit with a tickle in my throat, but it’s more annoying than an issue/cold.  Elias and Nikki are both better as well.  This weekend was a bit of a disapointment though as it rained ALL DAY yesterday.  I stayed home with Elias…

ugh, we can’t seem to catch a break around here.  First, Elias and Nikki were sick 2 weekends ago.  Nikki had a sore throat Sunday but that was it.  Elias had a small cough and ended up with an ear infection (not his first or last, just a PITA with antibiotics).  Well then I caught…

Well, for those of you who thought you were missing the pictures in yesterday’s (new theme) update, the new theme announcement was the ENTIRE update!  So here’s a normal new update so you can see what they will look like from now on.  As for what happened this week, it was Halloween obviously, but I…
