Wednesday Update

As you probably have noticed, I haven't been posting daily. Work has been crazy busy with freshman orientation so between that and our normal active schedule....and oh yeah, being 7 month pregnant, taking a photo of the day has been put on the back burner.

I would, however, like to continue to share photographs as I take them and hopefully pick back up with a photo of the day once things have calmed down after orientation...especially once the baby gets here. It will be fun to watch him grow!

Over the weekend we went to see a Drum Corps International Show. I had been looking forward to it for months and really enjoyed it. Here are two shots that I enjoy from the evening:

To continue my WAKA Wednesday theme, I give you "Joe's Epic Sliding: Week 2"

6-12-2010

I had the pleasure of taking the summer orientation leaders (along with colleague Katie) to a ropes course for their training. The course had both a low-ropes and a high-ropes component. It was really fun to watch them learn to work together and to challenge themselves, especially with the high ropes elements. I was amazed to see how much everyone pushed themselves, even if they had a fear of heights.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:

Another exciting night of kickball action. (I still can't wait to get back out on the field of play!) Today's Photo is of Joe's epic (and completely unnecessary) slide into home.

6-8-2010

Eddie and I walked to Rita's Italian Ice this evening for a tasty treat. I brought my camera along in hopes of capturing something interesting. Nothing much going on caught my eye. Eddie suggested the Warwick Restaurant sign since it's a local landmark. He also liked how half of the sign was dimmer than the other half.

Fun Times!

I flew up to New Jersey this weekend and saw this out of the plane:

(Usually we fly on the other side of Manhattan so I missed out on some nice city shots since I had picked my seat based on our usual flight pattern. But I still saw the Statue of Liberty and the Mets' stadium.)

While in New Jersey we celebrated Karen's pending nuptials with a bridal shower. It was a really fun event. I impressed myself by putting together this tomato/mozzarella platter. I may need to recreate it for some summer social event.

This morning we got to see the baby at the doctor's office. He looked much more like a baby this time and less like a skeleton. It was really neat to see him and feel him at the same time. He didn't really cooperate to get a full face shot so we only got to see half. (I have labeled the photo since it's sometimes hard to figure out what exactly you are looking at.)

6/3/2010: Navel Gazing

I've enjoyed a quiet evening at home and I am being amused by Leroy (our placeholder nickname for the baby) moving around and making my stomach morph. I've lately noticed that my belly button is starting to flatten out too so I figured it might make an amusing photo of the day today since it's my current view as I relax.

6/2/2010: WAKA Wednesday

The Jagernauts Adult Kickball team are having what the WAKA Peninsula League newsletter called a "Cinderella Season". It's been fun to hang out and watch them, though I am looking forward to getting back on the field of competition after Baby Seavers arrives. The game was pretty short tonight so I didn't take a bunch of photos. This is of first baseman Mike catching the ball for an out.

6/1/2010: Stormy Weather

Eddie and I headed up to Williamsburg after work to meet up with friend Heather. We meet at a NY Pizza/Deli place monthly for dinner and Scrabble. While our Scrabble wasn't stellar tonight it was good to catch up with Heather again and to plan future fun.

While we were at dinner it stormed a little but the sun had come out by the time we were done. I snapped this of the post-storm sky and a tree across the street from the restaurant.
