No the baby’s not here yet, but that’s his estimated weight from the checkup last night. Nikki’s participating in a study on the size of the baby and how that effects a mother’s recovery… This means we got an additional ultrasound and a $10 Barnes & Noble gift card. The ultrasound images I usually share…

Well it was my last official ski trip on the bus this winter. It was another bus trip to Sunday River on Saturday. I was worried it would be very icy as the weather report showed rain anywhere in ME Friday and Friday night, but the elevation on the hill was enough that it snowed.…

Well we had a group meet at Dave and Busters Friday night with a bunch of people from NSOP (my photography forum, it amazes me there are enough people there to have a meet…) We had an awesome dinner with 7 members, and another met us later (when he could get there). It was Matt’s…

Well Sunday was another ski day. Went to Loon on the bus. We ended up having bus issues (bad alternator) which left us sitting in North Attleborough for 45 minutes. The drive up wasn’t too pretty as the roads were a icy mess. We saw about 5 accidents in total. The skiing was OK. I’m…

Went on another bus trip Saturday. As mentioned before, I escort for New England Action Sports. It’s the only way to go skiing really… Enough advertising though, we went to Sunday River in ME on Saturday. The also had a meltdown 2 weeks ago, but they had had enough time to make some snow, groom…

Had yet another baby checkup yesterday. Everything is going as scheduled. Nikki’s up another 2lbs in 2 weeks which is on track. The babies heart rate was 140 which is also normal. Nikki and I both have head colds though. It was nice to be able to go to the doctor and ask him what…

Well unfortunately Nikki came down with a bit of a cold Friday. Being pregnant means she can’t take anything for it, so she’s been fighting through a sinus cold w/o any sort of decongestant. She woke up today in no shape to go to work, so she stayed home sick. It also happened to snow…

Well we had our baby shower this weekend. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Debbie (Nikki’s Mom if somehow you’re reading this and don’t know) and Katie (Nikki’s best friend from forever!) and the 3 Aunts, Pat, Tina and Ansoo for putting this together. All I’m taking any credit for at all is taking…

Another weekend, another trip. This time to Okemo. The weather took a decided turn for the worse over the past week. When we were at Stowe the week before the mountain hosts told us they were expecting rain and warm temps the next week. Well arriving at Okemo Saturday proved them right. Apparently it had…

Another weekend, another bus trip. This time to Stowe again. Incredible conditions. They’ve had 165″ of snow so far this winter. Unfortunately it’s warm there this week, and supposedly raining today, but the 2 times I’ve been there this year it’s been like western conditions. The terrain at Stowe is also awesome, I just wish…

Nikki and I both had a long hectic day. We had another baby appointment in Providence at 3:45pm. The problem with that is they’re ALWAYS an hour late. Sure enough we walked out right at 5pm. On top of that my car is getting it’s 100k service done to it a Yarrowsport, so Nikki had…

Well I’m working on yet another PAD this year.  For those that don’t know what that is, it’s a Photo A Day.  If you haven’t noticed, up top there is a page for it.  If you go in there you’ll see this years PAD on top, and last years under it.  I’ve tried this 2…

So I went to Okemo Wednesday. It was a beautiful day on the hill. No drama getting there as I remembered everything this time… It was about 20ºF on the hill, so a comfortable temp. I skied with the camera again, so I came home with more pictures. The snow was only alright… I love…

Merry Christmas to anyone out there reading the blog!!! We’ve had a busy, but very fun couple of days. Christmas ever we took my parents to Ikea for the first time for fun (we like their stuff and my parents wanted to see why). Then we had a party the Katie and Matt’s in the…
