Some Spring Photos
These days, J often has t-ball AND soccer on Saturday mornings.
Last weekend, we had a little fun with the camera between games.
With the new baby ont he way, we’ve been hearing a lot of, “Wow. You have your hands full.”
Yep.
And we LOVE it.
“Looking For A Woman Like You”
I’ve been on a country music kick lately, and I found a new song that I like a lot.
Every so often, Steph will ask me questions like, “What do you think you would be doing right now if you had never met me?”
The married men reading this will understand that it’s a totally loaded question.
In all honesty, if I had never met my wife, then some things would probably be better on the surface:
I’d probably have better stuff, get out on my mountain bike more, keep up with sports better, and have a little more traveling under my belt.
Dancing In The Minefields
You probably noticed that we didn’t spent as much time posting to “TheRieslands” in 2011.
There are lots of reasons for that – most notably the ones who run around our house in Disney movie-themed pajamas every night.
We also spent a good amount of time working on Stephanie’s photography business.
But the new year is always a fun time to reflect on what a year has taught me, and share that with you, for whatever it’s worth. So, you might actually see a few posts from me over the next few days. They are likely to be hyper-introspective and even soppy, so… consider yourself warned.
Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite songs of 2011.
It wasn’t new in 2011, and it may or may not be familiar to you.
The song is Dancing In The Minefields by Andrew Peterson.
I’ve actually been enjoying this song, along with most of Andrew Peterson’s, for years now.
But this year, for whatever reason, it seemed especially profound and inspiring to me.
The lyrics are pretty straightforward and probably not too much of a stretch for most folks (hear the song and read the lyrics below): life is full of landmines…
These Two…
These two are on track to put me in an empty grave.
But man… what a life it will have been!
You found the blog home of two big kids (that would be the parents) and four little ones.
This blog has changed quite a bit over the years. There was a time that I posted almost every morning as part of my routine. But that was several kids and several years ago.
These days, the posts are a lot more rare, but hopefully more substantial. And all those posts from the past are still here in the archives.
Feel free to have a look around...
