A lazy, summer afternoon with the kids. 

Super, duper, canoe washing buddy

He is a standup guy! 

Elliot is walking, now!

Trailer Biking - Katie and I on a 10+ mile ride from Southbury, CT to Naugatuck, CT on the Larkin State Bridal Trail. Its an old railroad bed that was converted to Bridal Path and mountain biking is permitted as well. You can ride all the way to the Waterbury City Limits. We got as far as Naugatuck. 

Bonsai desu!

This is my first Bonsai. Found a stunted cedar growing in the front yard, looks like it encountered numerous run-ins with the lawn mower. So, I dug it up and planted it in this pot. Put some moss around it and then did a little pruning and voila! Over the weekend I left it outside too long and may have killed it. Hopefully, I can nurse it back.

Katie's First Ballet Recital 

Baby's first haircut (after the fact).

Michele took Elliot to the local Barber Shop in Sandy Hook called Fun Cuts for his first haircut. No pictures were taken during the ordeal, rather there is an eight minute video clip of him screaming. He looks cute, now.

"Wait! You must bow as your Princess has arrived!" 

Watch out Emeril! Your competition is coming! 

The Black Birches III

Didn't get it quite right - funny thing with Picasa2, unless you export the file, some of the settings/changes only stay within the picture browser. So, here it finally is, cropped the way I originally wanted it. There was a version 2 but it wasn't reflecting the cropping so I deleted it from the blog.
