Holly has trained me well

After two and a half years of marriage Holly finally has me (mostly) housebroken. I made this video to share my new found knowledge with the other male Ecklings.

Jupiter Rising!

Hi All,
So, in talking to Katie tonight I had the realization that Tricia is literally 2ish weeks away from her due date. Little Ma~ Jupiter :) Eck Leingang *not her real name* is due to join us on November 7. The betting will start ASAP, with the same first come, first served rules. Remember, winner takes all, closest to the date and time (going over is ok, we are just looking for the closest!) Each bet you place will be $1 to be sent to the winner of the betting. Betting will be placed as a comment to this post. PLEASE POST BOTH YOUR DATE AND TIME that you think the baby will come! The last time this all happened, I know at least some money exchanged hands (Kristy was owed $13! Let's welcome our newest little girl into the family Eckling style!

Sailing (& Google+)

Dear Family,

There's a (very appropriate) picture I'd love to share here of Katie holding Ben off the side of the boat to do his business, but for obvious reasons I can't do this over the internet. I will, however, be holding onto it so that once he's a more appropriate age I can share it with loads and loads of people manually.

If you want to see a couple other pictures from our recent sail, you should get on Google+, because I'm too cheap to pay for internet and the bootleg app I downloaded to get internet from my phone to my computer isn't strong enough to do things like upload pictures to a blog. You can put people in circles and choose to share things exclusively with your "family" circle and share things easily from your phone (at least if you're on Android, not sure how good the iphone app is for Google +)

Hope all you east coasters enjoyed the earth quake! (I can't believe you're crazy enough to live in an earthquake zone... :)

Love,
Ali
