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,…
Read MoreHappy Birthday Helena
One year ago today I was waking up from 4 hours of sleep (or what I would soon consider a great night’s sleep) as a new Dad. You were born at 1:04 am and I was exhausted but could not not wait to get back to the hospital to see you. It has been a…

Today couldn’t have been much worse (well, it probably could but I don’t even want to think about that). The great thing about being a parent though is you can still come home to a wonderful little person who can make anything better. Wives are pretty good at that too (well mine is). Today Helena…
Read MoreGo Go Go…
By all measures this is been one of our typical busy summers. It’s not much of a stretch to say that just about every weekend we have someone visiting us or we are going somewhere else. Between playing with Helena and all of our travels I am way behind on blog posts and uploading pictures…
Read More11 Months!!
Christine and I can hardly believe it, but Helena is less than 1 month from being a year old! That’s right almost a year old!!! She has certainly been keeping us busy lately, but in mostly fun ways. She is not yet walking but she’s a speed demon on all fours. One of her favorite…
Read MoreAlmost 11 Months…
Hard to believe we are into the 11th month. Not that I’m biased or anything but Helena is truly amazing. She has done so many amazing things in the last couple months. She’s crawing, waving, clapping, saying “momma” & “dadda”, eating everything in site, and now she’s pulling herself up and cruising along just about…

Read MoreScreaming at the Baptism
We returned to the “scene of the crime” (ie where we got married) this past weekend for Helena’s baptism. She decided to announce herself screaming while she joined the ranks of the Catholic Church. I can’t say I heard anything the Priest said during the ceremony but we somehow made it through. Helena met the…
Read MoreThe Rest of the Myrtle Beach Photos
This is just a quick post to let my “loyal followers” of which there are few, that we uploaded the rest of the photos from vacation. Myrtle Beach – Part 3 Helena has kept us busy the last couple days with a lovely (NOT) virus called Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disaease. The symptoms include rash…
Read MoreSo Many Changes
Helena has changed so much in the last few weeks. No sooner did she start crawling, then, did she figure out how to pull herself up to a standing position. She is trying to talk. Ma-ma is her favorite word. But she is slowly but surely learning how to say dad-da. In fact, today is…
