Texas Sunset

We flew Manchester to Orlando, then to Houston and finally to El Paso yesterday and were only delayed about 20 min total. We followed that up with about a 4 hour drive to Marfa, TX to set us up for this morning. It’s worth noting that we also found a slightly seedy Mexican restaurant for…

April 2011

This has been an extremely busy month or so, which accounts for my lack of blog posts in that timeframe. I don’t even think I have time to do this one, but there have been so many fun and crazy moments with Helena and of course Christine that I feel like I need to write…

First Date

Today is Helena’s 20 month birthday, which is exciting enough in and of itself. But even more exiting is that I went on my first date with another girl since getting married just the other day. I took her to five guys burgers and Fries and she had the grilled cheese and loved it! She…

Kitchen Project – Weeks 2-3

Weeks 2-3 were relatively uneventful as not too much noticeably changed since the previous week aside from the refacing going from in progress to completed. But that doesn’t mean that nothing noteworthy happened! The most exciting thing for me was the removal of what we like to call in the family “Helena’s Inheritance”. If you…

Kitchen Project – Week 1 – 2

Well, as we could have guessed and should have known the kitchen is coming together slower than we had hoped and slower than we were promised. Has anyone ever hired a contractor that was accurate with their time estimates? The first couple weeks of the project have mostly involved taking things apart and sanding down…

Great Birthday Weekend for CK

Last weekend was Christine’s birthday, as many of you may know, and she decided that a trip to the beach was in order since we could not remember the last time we had been (at least in New Hampshire). She picked an amazing day to go weatherwise. Not only was it a beautiful sunny day,…
