5 Months Old

I’m lovin’ the camera on my new cell phone. The shutter speed, resolution and flash leave a lot to be desired, however what I love about it is the convenience. I only have my digital camera with me when I go to a get-together/event/party… I have my cell phone with me all the time. As […]

Welcome, 2005

Here we are in 2005. I would have like to have blogged right before/after the New Years, but I’ve just been swamped with real life and just haven’t taken the luxury to blog. In fact, this is my first “before I go to work blog” because I know I won’t have time tonight. This photo […]

The Battery Age

You’ve heard of The Stone Age, The Bronze Age and The Iron Age. Well, our family has just entered The Battery Age. As I prepared for Erin’s arrival, I got to assemble all sorts of things. Many of them require batteries to operate. Her vibrating bouncer seat; Her portable swinging chair; Her musical crib-side aquarium. […]

Feeling Older

So, I uncovered my old college ID card the other day. This ID card was issued to me as an incoming freshman at Pratt. It was valid for 6 of my 8 semesters. After the Spring of 1997 the school rebranded itself and got a new logo and whole new look. With this rebirth came […]

Growing Up

I think everyone has specific moments in their lives that reflect a growing maturity. A turning point that shows a greater appreciation/understanding/acceptance of life. Being able to look at yesterday and know that you are a wiser person today. I’m not necessarily referring to major life-changing events, such as births, deaths and marriages. Rather, small […]

First Snowfall

We woke up this morning to our first snowfall. We went to sleep with bitter cold rain and woke up to warm sunshine and white trees. Not very much accumulated – a little more than a dusting – but it was enough to cover the roofs, lawns and cars. Bessie, our 9 year-old, arthritic Doberman, […]

Playin’ Ketchup

Has it really been this long since I blogged??? Since this is just a private journal – open to the public – is an apolgoy for my absence necessary? I guess it’s polite enough to do so. With that said, I truly apologize if my lack of blogging has kept anyone up nights with worry […]

11 Weeks Old

How cute is this picture?? She looks like a porcelain doll. This past Monday was her 11 week birthday. We didn’t really do anything special… no cake or candles or anything. Now that I think of it, we may have had some pumpkin pie with whipped cream… We picked up her birth certificate from the […]

Walk for Diabetes – Recap

Well, the Diabetes Walk has come and gone so quickly that it hardly seems possible that it’s already over. The walk was held on the corporate campus of BD in Franklin Lakes, NJ. Registration started at 8:30 a.m. and the walk began at 10:00. We got there just shy of 9 a.m. and signed-in. Fortunately, […]

Punkin’ Pickin’

Yesterday, I took the morning off so that Kate and I could take Erin pumpkin picking at a very special place. We took her to Ort’s Farm in Long Valley. Ort’s was where I took Kate on our first date 11 years ago. It holds many special memories for us both and now we’ve begun […]
