Category: Fun Times

Ray has wanted this for some time… a brand new SLR camera.  We finally decided to get one, with the extra push of knowing we will take baby pictures soon.  He did quite a bit of research and asking around, and then finally deciding on whether he will be with the Canon or Nikon party. [...]

Ray and I have yet to take our honeymoon.  But we decided that we’ll at least take a babymoon! We wanted to do a little traveling before our little one arrives. Although it’s still months and months away, it feels like time in closing up on us for the next… 18 years, at least! [...]

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. [...]

It’s been a nice start to the summer. Ashley and I seem to have gone concert crazy in the past months.

Boston for Mother’s Day

Category: Family, Food, Fun Times, Uncategorized, travel
