I am alive.
I know that I assured you all that blogposts would become more regular with the last couple posts but it has obviously not faired so well. For the last week I’ve been pretty much off the grid at my In-laws house. Albeit, there is a suitable internet connection available at the house, something is keeping me from wanting to go through the hassle of setting it up (requires login info, etc). I think it’s a silent protest of sorts - being that I do so much tech-related work on a day-to-day basis that on my vacations the last thing I want to spend any time doing is tech debugging. That being said, my connection to the outside world has been limited to twitter updates from an unreliable EDGE connection via my iPhone - apparently down on the Kenai the wind is so hard it disrupts cell service. A signal will spike at 3 bars and immediately disappear without any movement or fair warning/cause.
I have done Photography on my trip, though. I found an abandoned house and broken-down boat in Homer to photograph - I’d like to share the results if I had a card reader with me right now. See, this is exactly what I mean - blogs manage to be so darned complicated! I’m am using my Rollei more - I assure you. Yes, indeed, I am using my $500 investment into professional-level medium format cameras. Although a small part of me still lusts after a Hasselblad, my pocket screams in agony at its prospective price. Now I just need to actually get around to developing the film from my Rollei!
Aidan is doing fine. He’s talking more and more each day - managing to put words together more and more each day. We’ll be starting potty training soon enough - something that the doc suggests we wait on until his second birthday - it’s amazing just thinking that its just around the corner!
I hope to have more soon. This just serves as a quick update only - try to hold me to that. I’ll leave you with a few pictures of Aidan & Santa this year that, if you follow me on Twitter, you’ve already seen - either way, the results were much better than they were last year! <link>

ah potty training! I tried to get Landen started, and he totally wasn’t into it at all. Then, one day late in the summer he said he was wearing big boy underwear and that was that lol. They do it when they are ready I suppose. We are working on Aiden, but the Dr. said that boys potty train around 3 on average so I am not worried. Good luck though! It is nice not having to change as many diapers for sure!
Glad things are going so well, I know things are hectic with a kid, spouse, and work so I feel ya on that!
It’s been 5 weeks, are you still alive?
