2016: Year in Review
As I sit down to write this little recap of the year’s events, I can’t help but feel thankful. A lot has happened this year, if keeping up with Elijah constantly growing and changing wasn’t enough, I started looking for a new job closer to my family (and Jess’s parents) in the Pacific Northwest. Let’s…

Looking for Home
We’ve now been living in the Gorge for a few weeks, yet it still doesn’t feel like we’ve moved. Our house is still pending sale in Bozeman, due to close in the next couple weeks. We’ve started some talks with a realtor and have driven through some areas of interest. Originally, it was the plan…

Finding Our Bearing
We’ve been here a week now, the U-Haul has been returned, the storage unit filled, bags unpacked and a few days of work under my belt. I’ve been getting used to the commute, but I think with views like this, I’ll come to enjoy this part of my day. The first days of my new…

Goodbye, for Now
As I write this post, I am sitting on a sleeping bag in the master bedroom of our house in Bozeman. Our bed is gone, few items still remain in the house. I can’t sleep. My mind is torn between the new adventure that lies ahead and the friends and family we leave behind. A…

Ten Months
Our little guy is now 10 months old! Though he’s not crawling yet, he can scoot and roll and can move quicker than both mom and dad are ready for. He’s a happy, healthy baby boy who brings regular joy into our lives. It helps that he sleeps through the night…

Nine Months (3/4 Year Old)
Our little guy turned 9 month over the weekend! We were away camping up in Hyalite Canyon, south of Bozeman for the holiday weekend, so we finally got our monthly shot accomplished today. Speaking of camping, Elijah experienced his first camping trip and did great! He even slept through some thunder and lightning storms that…

Eight Months
The little man turned Eight months this past week! He is cutting a couple teeth and is talking, rolling over and just doing more of everything. He loves watching mommy, daddy and brother Flynn. The latter is particularly adorable as he talks to Flynn when we all go for a ride in the car.

Seven Months
How time continues to fly. He has been trying out new foods, sitting up without much help, and rolling over.

Pittsburgh and the G7
I recently was “transferred” for my job. I am still based out of Bozeman, but am now part of the Information Systems team for the parent company, Woodard & Curran. As you might recall, I traveled to Portland, ME in the Fall of 2014, this was to visit the very same company. One of my…

Six Months
Okay, he turned six month a couple weeks ago, but I was reminded that I hadn’t posted pictures on the good ol’ blog. We had fun taking photos of our little guy. His stats as of his 6-month appoint were: 15 lbs 5 oz 24.75 inches

Five Months!
The little man has been on this earth for five whole months. He’s moving more and more and has taken to standing for minutes at a time (supported of course). He continues to show us more personality with each passing day. A full night’s rest still alludes our little progeny, but he’s getting close.

Only good for the Moon
Previously, you saw my first real attempt at lunar photography. It looked pretty good! It gave me confidence that the lens used would be so useful for so many photographic situations. Turns out this is not the case. Since I’m mounting it to a micro four thirds camera, the 500mm f8 lens turns into, effectively, 1000mm.…
