Nikki’s cousin Lora got married Monday! It was an awesome wedding at the Glenn in Portsmouth. Nikki was in the wedding, so that meant I was Elias’ handler the entire night. Check out the shots as you’ll see some very interesting shots of me with Elias throughout the night, as well as Nikki and of […]

I love bags, but hate “camera” bags. The best solution I’ve come up with so far is to use any old messenger bag, and toss some Domke inserts into them. The bag I’m using now is a Zoo York messenger bag I picked up from WhiskeyMilitia.com for $13 shipped. It’s not as basic black as […]

I finally broke down and ordered a wireless release. Not really sure why I needed one, but I’ve always liked the idea. It was ~$40 shipped so not too bad and arrived in 6 days (ordered 6/5, received 6/11) from Honk Kong. I bought mine from “John Camera Store” on eBay. So far it looks […]

Elias is now officially 3 months old. He’s getting a ton bigger and more active. He can roll from his belly to his back pretty much at will now. He’s talking (baby talk) up a storm these days. We try to keep him going as long as possible asking him questions and whatnot. I’m sure […]

Well Elias is almost 3 months old now (he will probably be by the time you read this!). He can now roll over (see the video below for half a rolling over, he’s too quick to get on film!). He loves to talk with himself about who knows what. He’s almost giggling (we think he […]

Raced sluff for the first time last night. It was the last race of the spring series. Yarrow offered to help me as Dad’s “stuck” delivering avalanche right now. We haven’t gotten our real rating yet from PHRF (they’re having a meeting for us this week) so they gave us a provisional rating of 108… […]

Elias is actually in my lap as I type this… He’s getting bigger and stronger all the time. He can now roll over from his belly to his back. We’re working on getting it on camera but he’s done it probably 5 times this week. Nikki also went back to work for the first time […]

Chris and Lise got married today. Chris and I work together (he’s the IT guy). They had a wonderful wedding today in MA. It was Nikki and my first day out together w/o Elias. It was kinda fun doing something “adult” again, but we both also missed him. Debbie was very helpful and came over […]

We normally sail Tuesday nights, but I couldn’t last night so I went tonight. I also didn’t manage to track down crew in time (part of the reason we wanted a smaller boat) so I decided to sail alone. I ended up ramp launching the boat alone (first time ramp launching, and first time sailing […]

Another busy week for us. Nikki managed to get out and run both days this weekend. She said that felt great, but by Sunday afternoon (after also going for a walk in the park) she was exhausted. Elias is growing and growing. We’ve had to adjust the straps in his car seat to the taller […]

We also had a NSOP (my photography website/forum) meet at the park Sunday. We (of course) arrive 20 minutes late. Elias was dead asleep and had had a rough nite Saturday so we let him sleep until he woke up. But that mean we still had to feed him and get out the door. We […]
