Well a new year comes and it’s time to recap 2008. Obviously it’s been a huge year for us with the birth of Elias. It’s been a lot of work, but a ton of fun and we’ve really been enjoying everything about parent hood. He actually is 10 months old TODAY!. I’ve been on vacation […]

Well Elias’ first Xmas is in the books! He seemed to understand opening presents (read ripping paper) and received a ton of gift. I’ll try to get a shot of just his loot, but yeah, he’s got enough toys for a while considering how much everyone got him. Nikki and I also had a wonderful […]

for someone else?! Yep, guess Elias is done with breastfeeding… Over the last week he’s pretty much given up on it. Then Wednesday night he bit Nikki and has been having a bottle since. I guess it’s official, he’s growing up. He also got another introduction with snow this week. Friday night we gto ~9″ […]

So today we went to Big J’s, BJ’s, then TJ’s to do a little shopping. Big J’s is Big John Leyden’s tree farm for a Christmas tree. We learned about him back when we first moved to RI because he was on some morning TV show. So my parents have been going there forever, and […]

2 posts in one day? Yep. New cameras have a habit of making me shoot more. Add to that I love snow, and apparently so does Elias, so you’re getting a double dose this weekend. We woke up to ~2″ of snow here in RI this morning. It’s Elias’ first time really seeing snow. He […]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone is having a safe and fun holiday and stuffing your faces. I’m thankful for a lot, but the most is in the picture to the left. Nikki and Elias. Nikki was off to Newport early this morning to run the pie race. Elias and I held down the fort […]

Our house is starting to look like a jailhouse. Elias is mobile enough now he’s getting into more things (trouble). So we’ve picked up 3 more gates this week. 2 are very inexpensive (2 for $20) that aren’t permanent. We’ve been using them on the doorways to the kitchen for now and they’re great because […]

Elias is getting more and more active all the time now. He’s now crawling all over the entire first floor of our house if he’s allowed. If not, he can usually get past or through whatever barrier we’ve tried to use. He’s standing more often as well and pulling things down off higher shelves. It’s […]

Well Elias is getting really mobile now. He’s been belly crawling for a while now, but that was slow and he couldn’t get over/around a lot of obstacles. He’s now full on crawling and can pull himself up to standing. He’s even “walked” pushing a footstool across the front room (he was actually trying to […]

Yep, selling my 300 f4. I LOVE this lens, but I use it primarily for sailing and surfing shots where I’m typically pretty restricted in where I can shoot from. So a prime just doesn’t work very well for that. Also, I’ve been using it with the 1.4 TC a lot lately which it take […]

Elias is 8 months old today. Can you believe it? We barely can. He’s also had a few new milestones this week. Last weekend he waved to another baby at a store. Last night he waved to me when I left him with Nikki for his late night feeding right before he’s tucked in. He’s […]

I traded the 50L for a 100-400L… This lens has always been tempting for me, and I’ve realized recently shooting some sailing and surfing shots that the 300 has been limiting at times. I find myself using it as much with a 1.4 TC (420mm f/5.6) as w/o and then at other times 300 is […]
