Last night, my mom left a comment here on therieslands.com.

First. Time. Ever.

Jesus is coming back soon y’all…

There’s A Reason I Call Him “Mini-Me”

I just gotta figure out what my mom was feeding me.

Look at that little double-chin…

9 Million Words

Zack — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:22:21 +0000

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then about 5 minutes of video at about 30 frames per second is about 9 million words.

It’s OK. Go ahead. Roll your eyes. I’m a geek and not ashamed of it.

Anyways, we don’t have a ‘true’ video camera at the Riesland house, but our little Fuji digital camera takes web-grade video and every once in a while we remember that and actually use it.

And even less often, I get around to putting the files on the computer and cleaning them up a little bit.

So, disclaimer: this is the part where 70% of you should probably bail because I’m about to show you a video of my kid and you’re going to say “what is it with people being so ga-ga over their kids” and then you won’t like me anymore and you’ll assume I’m not cool enough to hang out with you… which is probably true. So, there you go: you’ve been warned.

But for our friends and family who don’t get to see our little guy very often, here are 9 million words on what Josiah has been up to these past couple of months:

*And yes, I wear a sombrero when I cut the grass. Deal with it.

Josiah, This Is A Sandbox

Zack — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:10:32 +0000

We had a little family picnic at the RDU airport observation park after church Sunday.

There was a sandbox.

Josiah has never seen a sandbox before.

He had fun:

First Weekend of Spring

Zack — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:02:28 +0000

This weekend was, by far, the most beautiful one of the year so far.

So Steph and I tried to get caught up on some outside work, and Josiah was our official helper/inspector.

He thought it was SO cool to be a ‘big boy’ and help outside. At one point, he found a broom, and held it for at least 30 minutes. He just walked around with his broom, looking very official (and trying not to tip over).

We had a blast:

Mini-Me
