Ray & Ashley

Emery’s been growing day by day. She still sleeps a lot but when she is awake she is always looking around checking out the world. She’s looks at us a lot and is learning to smile when we interact with her. She also makes a lot noises just on her own, making [...]

That’s a a long running joke but I think it deserves to be mentioned here that Ashley and I have been living in New York for over a year and a half because of a project that I have been working on during that time. My client is Allianz Global Investors and our job [...]

Ashley loves seafood, especially oysters and shrimp.  So for her birthday, I took her along with Emery to “Fish” a great but reasonable seafood and raw bar in the West Village.  I excused myself from work early so we could avoid the crowds and we took a little family trip.  The restaurant was great, awesome [...]

It’s been an eventful summer here for our family.  Lot’s of change has happened here to our little family with the arrival of Emery.
After Emery was born, my Mom came down for a few days to help us take care of her. It was good to have some help.  Our first night with Emery before [...]

Our little Emery born May 17, @ 8:20pm EST, 6lbs 12 oz at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital.

Here are the sequence of events that led up to Emery’s birth.
Friday May 14 AM: During our OB visit (now weekly),  Dr. Bradley tells us that Ashley is 2cm Dilated and she is doing well.  We start to [...]

One day in early September, I came home and Ash mysteriously sat me down and told me she had some news.  I had a feeling what it was and when she told me my heart leapt!  That’s right, we were going to be parents!  Ashley is pregnant!  We were surprised but not THAT surprised as [...]

After a long two weeks I got a long weekend to relax and enjoy New York with Ash. The weather is really nice and we are both sitting in front of the New York Public library on a sunny warm and breezey Monday afternoon.
Ash is talking to me about fashion and what she can [...]

That’s right Ashley finally fullfiled her dream and became the local weather woman. She is airing nightly at 7 and 10 pm, with the TV name of Ashley Storm. Hehehe. Here’s her first appearance!

It’s begun, now I can post to my Blog straight from the iPhone. No it’s not just the iPhone’s browser but actually using a wordpress iphone app. The features for copy editing aren’t great but the basic are there. Let me see if I can upload a photo of the UI.

I made a pretty significant upgrade of my Word Press version from 2.2 to 2.6.5!  It was a bit nerve wracking, there is always the chance something could go wrong and I’d end up spending days/weeks to fix it but fortunately everything went pretty smooth.  I’ve tested most things out and am happy to report [...]

Ashley and I love turkey.  Every year we look forward to getting a big one and having lots of good times and left overs.  This Thanksgiving, we had some friends Abee, Marianella, and Abbey over for a nice family style sit down meal.  It was nice to have everyone over again this year as we [...]

In Mid October, Ash and I went back home to visit my parents in Newton, this time we went together and stayed there for a week!  Since we were there for a week, we had the opportunity to do a lot more things than usual, spending a whole day in downtown Boston enjoying the city.  [...]

It’s been awhile since I last posted.  Things got pretty busy after Ashley’s birthday.  Here’s some updates:
iPHONE
Most importantly, I made the best purchase of 2008, the iPhone 3G!!!!  This thing rocks.  It’s like a mini computer.  I use for work email, music, calendar, GPS, facebook and games.  Like the ad says, this has changed everything. [...]

Thought I’d steal Ashley’s post title from the one she used for my birthday, she’s so dramatic! hehehe
So, we did have a lot of fun on my huney’s birthday.  She was worried I didn’t have anything planned but hey come on, that’s  what I do all day.  Here’s some pics of the weekend.  It wasn’t [...]

Yup, that’s our family motto.  Happy anniversary to us!  Ashley and I woke up early today to watch the sunrise over some hot chocolate and coffee.

Since this is our first anniversary, we decided on a yearly tradition that would be meaningful, fun and something we could do regardless of where we were.  We’d wake up [...]

To celebrate our 1 year anniversary on a very geeky level:

I increased the width of the blog by 100 pixels, creating more room for larger pictures and taking advantage of the ubiquitous 1024 resolution. Another great reason for increasing the width of the middle column is now I can post pictures directly from flickr, [...]

It’s been a nice start to the summer. Ashley and I seem to have gone concert crazy in the past months.
Just recently we went to two concerts, Lifehouse and Colbie Caillat. We played Lifehouse’s You and Me song at our wedding so it was nice seeing them live. We didn’t get [...]

This past weekend, I went home to Boston to spend some time with Mom. It’s always so nice to go back, my parents treat me like a king and feel like I am in college again. Taking the train from the airport back to Newton reminded me of how different Atlanta is [...]

About a year and half ago, I tried convincing Ash to run with me.  She groaned and told me how much she disliked running.   Despite it all, she stuck with it and even after I stopped she continued.  On March 30th, Ash ran the Atlanta half marathon, 13.1 miles through midtown, downtown and the Georgia [...]

I had a great time work with the Spark City team.  Everyone is very enthusiastic about the project and working with the technology.  We have a good mix of both young and veteran team members and it’s really nice to see everyone pitching in to do their share.  It has been a great learning experience [...]
