Pico? Yep, PICO!!! Elias went to his third state this weekend going for his longest car ride yet (~4:30) going up to Pico in VT. I was very excited when Andy and Debbie suggested it because I grew up skiing at Pico about 20~25 years ago, but hadn’t been back since. Well it’s alive and […]

I’m getting this blog update hammered out today so I can relax and enjoy some foolsball tomorrow as well as go out to lunch/brunch with some friends from NSOP… So you’ll be a day late because of my day earliness… Today started out well…. Phone rings this morning with a call about why our checking […]

Debbie taught Elias a new trick Friday… “Show us your teeth!” gets us a big toothy grin now and most of the time he does an obnoxious head tilt with it. It’s actually hysterical to watch. Once you ask him he keeps grinning at you showing you his teeth for a few minutes. This has […]

Well it’s really been winter this past week. It’s been cold, then frigid, then cold again, and now it’s “warm” (~25) and snowing. I don’t mind the snow in the least, but cold and windy can get old even for me. Nikki got a bit of cabin fever today when Elias only slept for 30 […]

Wow, can you believe it? The little (well, not so little) man is 10 months already… Just 2 more months and we’ll have been at this a year already. He’s got three teeth now. He’s pretty much quit eating baby food, and he’s really cruising around the house a lot now. He’s also walking in […]

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 […]
