Baby Nick Collection (open)
Our first child, and what a precious gift he was, and still is. Nicholas was born July 17th 2003, and we simply couldn’t imagine life without him now. What was life like before Nicholas? We can’t even remember. Endless sleepless nights, and all the complexities that come with having a child are all worth it. Especially when he gazes into our eyes. Nicholas is a beautiful, beautiful person, and great looking to boot.. I am sure you will agree when you look at his pictures.

Nicholas 2nd Birthday (open)
Nicholas got to spend his 2nd birthday at Chuckie Cheese’s along with some friends and family. He had a great time! Especially when he got his thomas and friends presents. He was a little scared of this big mouse they call Chuckie Cheese, but who isn’t?
The Twins 05/06 (open)
The twins were born December 16th 2005 early in the morning. Jennys water had broken and they were 5 weeks early. When they first popped out, it was quite amazing, and at first they didn’t think they had to go to the NICU. Eventually they did, but just 6 days later (this time was difficult for us) – they were out on Christmas Eve ready for the big day! Most of the time they are asleep, but as they get more interactive expect a big push on my account to produce many more pictures!

I am on a personal mission to visit every U.S. state and I am well over half way. This Maine trip included 4 states, and the highlight of the long weekend was the trip to Arcadia.

New York March 05 (open)
This was my first ever trip to New York City, and I went with my work buddy David Harrison. We drove up and down from VA in one day, took the ferry into Manhattan and had a great time. Although it was bitterly cold. We went to the WTC site, went up the Empure State Building and took in a whole host of other sites. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed NYC and liked it so much, my family went back up in April to stay the weekend.
Lake Michigan July 04 (open)
Another one of my personal jaunts across the nation to get my states list down. This trip was fascinating, beautiful weather and a beautiful Lake Michigan. Although marred by an evil hotel lord in Upper Michigan, who shouted at me for getting him up at 7AM (I didn’t know I could leave the key in my room?! On this trip I drove through Chicago, and I was astonished. Great place.

Pensacola June 2003 (open)
This was the one that started it all. I got the thirst for travel by traveling alone to Pensacola Florida for a business trip.

As of writing (Mar06) I am over half way!

This was my mothers and sisters first visit to my home in Virginia. At the time we lived in South Oaks, Spotslyvania, VA.
