This morning, Sandra Britt (Nana) and I visited the Pri-Med East 2008 conference in Boston as guests of to watch the Keynote presentation. my brother-in-law, Frank Britt (Nana’s oldest son), who runs Pri-Med in the US and is part of the management team of M|C Communications, the parent of Pri-Med.

Look at these three amazing angels!!

I’m attending this seminar tonight with Frankie. Should be very insightful!

We had a great family trip yesterday with the Kreppein and Dweck families. Following Michael’s inspiration, we paid a visit to Purgatory Chasm State Reservation, located just south of Worcester in Sutton, MA.

Here are pictures from the day. Click on the image below to play the embedded slideshow, or click here to see the PicasaWeb Album.

Yesterday, the Britt-Webb family and the "North Andover Britt" family enjoyed a great outing at Crane’s Beach on the occasion of the Ipswich YMCA Triathlon. My brother-in-law and his son, Frank and Tyler Britt, and I got there around 4pm to get our registration packets and set up our gear. Our families arrived in time to meet us before the event kicked off and to cheer us on through the race.

Went out for a bike ride this morning with my friend, Joe Verdone. We planned to do a decent 47 mile loop through Weston and Concord. About ten miles into the ride, we bumped into a group of four other riders, including an old friend and former colleague Moe Blaustein. They were going a little further than we planned, but they seemed like a good group and invited us to tag along, so tag we did.

Morgan and her friend, Ben Kreppein, completed their very first triathlon today, the Haunted City Junior Triathlon. Below is photo slideshow. If you click on the link in the lower left, it will take you to the a Picasaweb album, where you can browse all the photos and download them into Picasa on your computer.

It’s hard to believe that today marks 15 years since Laurel and I were married! What an incredible ride this has been. I am so lucky and blessed, beyond what I could have imagined.

Here is a short walk up memory lane.

Test to see if there is notification for this post.

I recently discovered this junior triathlon for kids as young as five years old! I’ve started discussing it with Morgan. I’m hoping she’s up for the challenge. We’ll see. Here are the highlights, which I copied from the official event page.

July 30 Update: Brightroom photos are now online for Erik, Frank and Tyler. There are also some good photos of us in the Lost & Found. I’ve added the preview sizes of these to the end of the photo slideshow below.

We had a great day hanging with Britt family at the North Andover Country Club.

Had a great event today with my brother-in-law, Frank Britt, at the POWOW Triathlon. We bought our first wet suits yesterday at Fast: Splits Multisport and got to try them out in Lake Gardner.

Enjoyed a great outing yesterday, running in the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge in Boston. Met up with three of my former colleagues, Laura Carrillo, Stacie Stark and Anne Bishko. Special thanks to Laura for taking and sharing the pictures in the slideshow below.

This is a 1 minute clip of Beckett’s first interview, taken on June 3rd, when he was just 5 days old.

We are proud and excited to announce the arrival of our newest family member: Beckett McCain Britt-Webb. Beckett was born at 9:29am on 5/29/08. He weighed in at 6 lbs, 15 oz and measured 19 inches long.

Special thanks to Cousin Lexi (and Aunt Reenie) for her inspiration in picking his first name, Beckett. And his middle name, McCain, is in honor of Grandma the Great, Elizabeth (McCain) Harris (see her memorial here).

See the slideshow below, as well as the videos from our YouTube account.

If you really want the play-by-play account of the birth and aftermath, read Erik’s Twitter posts at the bottom of this page.

Finally, you can read other blog posts about Beckett here.

Here are some pictures of Uncle Chris’s visit on our back deck on May 25, just four days before Beckett was born.

Today, I enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with “Cousin Mick”, Alan McCain. He was in town to attend the annual reunion at Andover Newton Theological Seminary, where he received the Spirit of the Hill Alumni Award.

Below, you can watch a video, see pictures, and read the biography of Mick and Sally that was used during the award ceremony.

I am pleased to report that the surprise baby shower for Laurel was a huge success! Laurel was mostly surprised, meaning that while she had her usual sixth sense that something was going to happen, she didn’t know for sure and was completely surprise by how many turned out.

We enjoyed the wonderful company of about 25 of Laurel’s lady friends, along with another 10 family members. Thanks for everyone who turned out. Special thanks to Noreen and Lexi for organizing and hosting the event, and to Del for helping to bake the yummy desserts.

Matthew is having a blast this spring in the Newton Kindergarten Soccer program.

Here is a slideshow of photos of the team and players in action.
