Kalen at 7 Months…

We just spent the last little while trying to make what sense we could of the reality that Kalen will be 7 months old tomorrow. What is it about your sense time as you age? Remember when you were kid and the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed to last longer than the previous 11 months? That’s what is was like for us anyway, and I think it was because we were conciously aware that each day was one closer to getting some sweet gifts…the anticipation made the clock spin backwards. Fast forward to today – I look forward to each day with Kalen and I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do next and for some reason the oposite is true as a 30-something…time is flying faster than ever! Wish I could turn that on and off, but I can’t (yet). Enough said – Here’s some recent pics of Kalen to celebrate 7 months:

Snowboarding in Colorado – January 2009

Finally…After 10 months I found enough time in the schedule to compile some of the pictures and short videos from the most recent winter trip to the Rockies. My brother Seth and his wife Sarah let my good buddy Ed and I invade their neck of the woods after the holidays and, with the help of friends and family, we certainly made the best of it. Here is a video compilation to commemorate that trip:

Can’t wait to get back out there this January and bring the little guy for his first Rocky Mountain winter!!

My friend Sam hit me with a plane…

Check it out – My buddy Sam is a pretty talented RC plane operator (which is pretty much like saying someone is really good at Star Trek trivia), but every once in a while even the best “pilots” hit people. In this case it was two people (including himself!!)…

Jumping Around…

What the ____ ?!

So I was scouring this site for some new tunes and I came across this Basement Jaxx video. This is probably the worst song of all time, but the video is hilarious. Check out the drummer and keep an eye out for when a piece of the keyboard flies off:

Apples and pumpkins…

Today we went apple picking. The weather was perfect – temps in the 60’s and blue sky sll day. We went to Windy Hill Orchard in Great Barrington, MA. Hot cider, cider donuts, apples of all types and tons of pumpkins made it worth the ride and Kalen slept the entire trip there and back. I’m not sure how many exclusively Fall activities there are, but apple picking has to be best thing going this time of year – sure beats the piss out of raking! Anyway, here are a couple pics:
