Happy Thanksgiving!
by Ben
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 […]
Jailhouse!!!
by Ben
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 […]
EAJ 36 week update.
by Ben
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 […]

EAJ 35 week update.
by Ben
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 […]
For Sale: Canon 300mm f4 IS L
by Ben
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!!!
by Ben
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 […]
New Gear: Canon 100-400 L
by Ben
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 […]

EAJ Week 33 update!
by Ben
Well, Elias almost really has a tooth now. He’s been getting both his front 2 teeth poking through, but his front left is getting to be apparent now. He’s also climbing a lot more things lately. He can pull himself up onto his knees very well and has actually put 2 feet on the floor […]
