GoPro goes open sailing:
Took a day off deck work (deck’s almost done but still have the patio to do) to put sluff together and take her for the first sail of the summer. I called up a buddy of mine from the photo forum who also sails (and also has a new kid and understanding wife) and he…

Memorial Day Weekend!
Well we had a great 3 day weekend this weekend (that’s why I’m posting this on Monday). And actually it was a 3.5 day weekend for me because we got let out of work at noon because the power went out. That actually helped a lot because I got to put 3 hours in on…

deck deck deck deck deck deck deck?
yeah, I’m working on the deck. So this update will be a little short on verbiage as I’m BEAT. Getting up yesterday for sunrise shooting didn’t help (but was worth it). Nikki did let me sleep in a bit this morning, but I’m more exhausted physically than I am tired. Anyway, you can see the…

Happy Mothers Day!
Happy mothers day to all the moms out there. Elias and I had some fun making some crafts for Nikki yesterday. I picked up a few canvases and some finger paints on the way home Friday. While Nikki was out running her 10k on BI Elias and I went to work. I also managed to…

Aaaaand I’m back!
Yep, I drove down to MD for a party with some friends this weekend. Yes the weather was terrible for the drive home but doesn’t matter, I’d go again in a heartbeat! Had a great time and came home to Elias missing me (he wanted and got a huge hug as soon as I got…

All Done!
Elias is starting to learn to talk, but “All Done!” has been something he’s known for a few months now. Obviously he’s got Dada down as well. I’m posting this now because I’ll be away for most of the weekend (I’m driving to VA tomorrow and back Sunday) so I figured I’d toss this up…

EAJ Week 60 update!
Septic tanks? Yeah, that first shot is the cover to our tank. Why on earth is it on the blog you ask? Well we had it pumped back in January, but the weather (and our social schedule) has kept us from getting to any yard work until last weekend. So the first order of business…

EAJ Weel 59 update.
Elias is really starting to take off on us now. He can walk as much as he wants to. He can stand for a minute or so on his own, and THEN walk from room to room. He’s still not quite as fast as he is when he’s doing his head down speed crawl, so…

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter everyone. This is Elias’ second Easter, we’re spending it the same way as last year, having lunch at the Stinton’s. We also had dinner at my parents house last night. Not much else going on this weekend except for a rain-out yesterday (got a few things done inside) and it’s been cold/windy all…

Birthdays, blog posts and more?
It’s been a busy couple of week. Sorry for no post last week, but I basically ran out of time and energy. As for the birthdays it was mine last week and my Dad’s this week. Nikki and I got to go out to a movie (monsters -vs- aliens in 3D) and had a nice…

EAJ Week 55 update!
Not a whole lot to report this week. We made it over to Ganny and Grandpa Jake’s for dinner last night with Grammy and Pop Pop as well as Jim Hanley. Elias wasn’t up to his usual high spirits and decided (a bit early) it was time to go home. We had an excellent dinner…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Well the parade/party day at least. It’s been a hectic week (yes I say that a lot, but it’s been a very bad few weeks at work, then we had an issue with our gas line at the house). I then shot this morning’s sunrise (up at 5:30am) with some guys from my photography forum. …

Happy Birthday (again) Elias!!!
Well Monday night we had another birthday party for Elias… His official party was Sunday, but since we were home Monday as well we figured we’d have my parents over for dinner and have another party on his actual birthday. We were supposed to be flying to/in SLC visiting my sister, but work issues forced…

364?!?!!!!!
Yeah, it’s ALMOST Elias birthday… So close in fact today was his first (of 2) parties… Debbie and Andy threw him an awesome party today at their place and we invited everyone we knew with kids as well as Nikki’s family and friends. It was a great time and Elias seemed to enjoy all the…
