deck deck deck deck deck deck deck?
by Ben
yeah, I’m working on the deck. So this update will be a little short on verbiage as I’m BEAT. Getting up yesterday for sunrise shooting didn’t help (but was worth it). Nikki did let me sleep in a bit this morning, but I’m more exhausted physically than I am tired. Anyway, you can see the […]

Happy Mothers Day!
by Ben
Happy mothers day to all the moms out there. Elias and I had some fun making some crafts for Nikki yesterday. I picked up a few canvases and some finger paints on the way home Friday. While Nikki was out running her 10k on BI Elias and I went to work. I also managed to […]
All Done!
by Ben
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 […]
EAJ Week 60 update!
by Ben
Septic tanks? Yeah, that first shot is the cover to our tank. Why on earth is it on the blog you ask? Well we had it pumped back in January, but the weather (and our social schedule) has kept us from getting to any yard work until last weekend. So the first order of business […]
Happy Easter!
by Ben
Happy Easter everyone. This is Elias’ second Easter, we’re spending it the same way as last year, having lunch at the Stinton’s. We also had dinner at my parents house last night. Not much else going on this weekend except for a rain-out yesterday (got a few things done inside) and it’s been cold/windy all […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
by Ben
Well the parade/party day at least. It’s been a hectic week (yes I say that a lot, but it’s been a very bad few weeks at work, then we had an issue with our gas line at the house). I then shot this morning’s sunrise (up at 5:30am) with some guys from my photography forum. […]
Happy Birthday (again) Elias!!!
by Ben
Well Monday night we had another birthday party for Elias… His official party was Sunday, but since we were home Monday as well we figured we’d have my parents over for dinner and have another party on his actual birthday. We were supposed to be flying to/in SLC visiting my sister, but work issues forced […]
364?!?!!!!!
by Ben
Yeah, it’s ALMOST Elias birthday… So close in fact today was his first (of 2) parties… Debbie and Andy threw him an awesome party today at their place and we invited everyone we knew with kids as well as Nikki’s family and friends. It was a great time and Elias seemed to enjoy all the […]
Elias first steps?
by Ben
Well Elias is really getting moving this week. He’s been cruising for a while now and stood on his own last week… But Friday night I got home and Nikki said he’s taken 2 steps to her earlier in the night, so I got the camera out and we tried it again…. Well check below […]
Elias week 50 update.
by Ben
Well unfortunately we didn’t catch it on camera, but Elias stood up on his own for a solid 10 seconds this week. We were all on the floor in the living room when he suddenly put both arms up over his head then stood up and just stood there! He’s been getting better and better […]
