    Wachusett 2014!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMVp8C1qE7Q We were lucky enough to go to Wachuestt the day they dropped their “ROS” (rest of season) pass to $80.  A regular adult ticket was $60 so for the extra $20 we snagged season passes for me an Nikki.  The whole family went three times.  Elias and I went on the last weekend and…

  • Think Tank Retro 7 Review

    Think Tank Retro 7 Review

    What’s to say about the retro 7?  Well, first make sure you’ve read and watched my retro 10 and retro 5 reviews!  Why?  Well because the retro 7 is basically a retro 10 with 1~2″ of the space from the camera compartment taken to make space for a padded iPad/macbook Air compartment.  Yes you can…

  • F-stop Loka Video Review

    F-stop Loka Video Review

    The f-stop loka is a hell of a backpack. That’s ignoring it’s ability to haul cameras. This is just one hell of a great backpack first, then it has this awesome system to add inserts into it specifically designed for cameras (f-stop calls these “ICU”s or internal camera units). I’ll get to that more in…

  • ThinkTankPhoto speed series review:

    ThinkTankPhoto speed series review:

    The thinktankphoto speed series is an interesting line of bags.  They’re belt bags, they’re shoulder bags, and they’re a combination of both.  ThinkTank uses a nice soft webbing loop to attach the shoulder strap to, so it’s easily removable.  They also include belt straps that tuck neatly away into the side of the bag.  So…

  • Almost done?

    Almost done?

    Yeah, I’m sure you’re sick and tired of hearing about this deck/patio, but think of how tired I am from working on the thing!!!  This weekend my parents made some time to help again and we made some serious progress.  Saturday Dad and I got all the pavers down for the patio while Nikki and…

    Swing!

    Yeah, another midweek surprise post…  I tried to upload this a few weeks ago but vimeo stopped in the middle I guess.  I redid it tonight, so here you go:  

  • All Done!

    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…

  • Show us your teeth!

    Show us your teeth!

    Debbie taught Elias a new trick Friday…  “Show us your teeth!” gets us a big toothy grin now and most of the time he does an obnoxious head tilt with it.  It’s actually hysterical to watch.  Once you ask him he keeps grinning at you showing you his teeth for a few minutes.  This has…

    New Videos…

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjB72taHsDY I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted videos (we sold our P&S that takes videos) so I managed to use the crappy old digital that’s designated as the boat camera (ie if it were to drown I wouldn’t be upset) and took 2 tonight.  You’ll see Elias scooting and working on pushing…

    Some new youtube videos:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDFos4KmfcE These are courtesy of Nikki. Unfortunately the best one of Elias is too long for youtube (they have a 100mb limit, it’s 189). Anyway, here you go: Elias (above) and 2 of the “other kids”:

  • Happy Birthday Elias Andrew Jacobsen!

    Happy Birthday Elias Andrew Jacobsen!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgw8o_DAxFk Well he’s here!!! Elias Andrew Jacobsen was born at 8:43pm on Sunday. He weighed in at 7lbs 13oz and has yet to be measured (they wait until they stretch a bit). He was grunting when he was born so he did have to take a trip to the NICU for an hour. He recovered…
