Well 20 weeks at least. It’s been another fun, eventful week around the house with Elias. He’s getting more coordinated every day. He can now grab things as he wants. He can take is nuk out and put it back in (upside down most of the time though). He’s rolling over every which way now […]

Panasonic announced a new P&S I’m very interested in. It’s the Lumix DMC-LX3 which is an update to the LX2. The LX2 is the pannasonic version of my Leica D-Lux 3… It’s improvements are LESS MP, a LARGER sensor and a 24-60mm f/2.0 lens. So I’d lose a tad on the long end, but I’d […]

Another week, another update! (Yes, the third in 2 days, but for those not checking regularly, they won’t know ) This past week Elias has been learning some more new tricks. Over these past 2 updates he’s learned to sleep w/o being swaddled and he’s learned to eat from a spoon… Well his newest trick […]

Well this past Tuesday we had another beercan race. The wind dropped out pretty bad so our little boat didn’t do very well (it’s won’t by design, but our rating hurts as well leaving us over 8 minutes behind the guys in SECOND TO LAST!). We had a GREAT sail though, we played the shifts […]

Yes, this is the second of three updates coming this weekend… I know I know, I’m a terrible father for being so behind. NOT! The website/PAD project has actually been a lot of fun, I just hate doing the photoshop end of the photos because my computer is getting old/tired/slow, so that makes that end […]

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! The 4th also happens to be Andy’s birthday (60 this year, but don’t tell him I told you!) so it’s always a big party down at their beach cottage. Unfortunately this year the motorboat was stuck to the trailer (the people who painted the bottom put it down wet apparently) so […]

Today was my first “entire day” alone with Elias. I’m on vacation, and Nikki used all hers when Elias was born, (I took a week then too, but this week is mandatory where I work) so I’m on vacation alone. It’s not my first time taking care of Elias alone by any stretch of the […]

Well we raced again last night and collected yet another DFL (due to our rating). We had a great time, but ended up having an embarrassing moment at the dock at the end of the night. Our boat is having some teething issues with its keel. The supplied keel wedges were way too small, so […]

Well Elias is getting bigger and more fun every day it seems. He’s now rolling over (when he wants) either way. His patterns are much easier to recognize for us which is great. He’s just becoming and awesome little dude that’s just fun to hang out with. Not that he wasn’t before, but the giggle […]

Went to the RI Airshow on Saturday. We had a few members of my photography site come over to shoot it as well, then we had an awesome BBQ on the deck afterwards. We all had a ton of fun, and got some decent images even though it was hazy. Most of us also got […]

Went out racing last night. Well “racing”. We drifted across the bay in NO WIND but actually, the boat sailed pretty well for the little wind we did have provided we kept it as heeled as possible. Our start was a non event with NO wind and we just sat there… There was an awesome […]

OK, I’m a little behind on the updates… sorry! It’s been super busy. We had Lora and Chris’ wedding last weekend with the rehearsal on Sunday and the Wedding on Monday. So with all the other things going on in our life as well as that I’m a little behind. These are most of the […]

Made it to Castle Hill to watch the start of the Newport to Bermuda Race. The bay was CROWDED and there were at least 4 helicopters flying. Made for an interesting day to say the least. It’s always fun to see who shows up boat wise for these things, but my highlight was the last […]
