Check out Flickr to see photos from our now not-so-recent trip to Maine. We went up there on July 4th. It was a great time.

Naked Parking Lot


Vermont Trip, originally uploaded by shimomatic.

A mad capped chase through the parking lot ensued as Elliot realized he wasn't wearing any clothes and no clothes were nearby to be draped on him. This is the life!

He got to ride a Harley for the first (and hopefully last) time. This is Elliot on his Uncle Dennis' hog. It was pure joy.

Elliot's 2nd Birthday


Elliot's 2nd Birthday, originally uploaded by shimomatic.

Of all the gifts Elliot received for his second birthday, he couldn't get enough of the trash truck. This is him showing me the truck for the 100th time. It gets better each time.

Elliot's 2nd Birthday, originally uploaded by shimomatic.

Elliot turned two on Saturday. We had some friends over to celebrate the milestone. Charlie turns 35 today, so we had a combined party for the two of them. In all, I think Elliot was more impressed by his cake than Charlie was.

snow storm

About 9" of great powdery snow fell yesterday. This morning, the sky was clear and the sledding was perfect. The trees were outlined in white, and everything was covered with a nice padding. Elliot wouldn't wear his own "mitts" but after some cajoling, he put on "mommy's mitts." He lasted for about an hour before having an "i'm cold" attack and demanding to go inside.

standing outside

This photo was taken the last day of our recent trip to Vermont. Over President's Day weekend, we went up to a small town called Huntington with our friends Charlie, Rachel, Matt, Michelle and Eva. The trip was a blast. Lots of skiing, lots of falling on my butt, lots of good drink and good friends. And a little bit of sleeplessness because Elliot was a being a pill.

Finally asleep


Finally asleep, originally uploaded by shimomatic.

Elliot wouldn't sleep today. We drove around town for about an hour while he struggled with closing his eyes. Finally, I parked in the arboretum near our house and read a book while he snored away. Ah, the joys of fatherhood.

Here we are visiting Terry and George in San Luis Obispo, California. There are many more pics of this event and others like it on my flickr site. I've decided it's a whole lot easier putting things on Flickr than constantly updating this darned blog.

Here's the link.

Abstinence is the only policy. Look what can happen if you don't read this sign. Look!

Elliot is drawn to boxes like Tom Cruise is drawn to weird alien folklore.

Hey, this was taken with my camera's timer. And everyone is centered. I'm impressed.

This is the cabinet where the TV used to be. Elliot made himself at home.
