Seven inches of snow this weekend has pretty much everybody’s plans canceled around here.
That means I found some time to use my computer for something besides work and I’m actually posting a couple of videos for the first time in months!
Enjoy:
Josiah has been doing this for a little over a week.
He can only take about 5 steps before he gets scared and collapses, but it won’t be long now!
It is *really* hard to believe that a year go today we were at Rex hospital — completely exhausted and trying desperately not to break this little 7 pound, 10 ounce person God added to our family.
Now we have a 22-pound bundle of energy and effervescent joy that loves crawling, eating, and Elmo.
Happy birthday Josiah!
You [...]
I found this laying around on my computer this morning.
It’s a few months old now, but I think it’s fun.
Please don’t think we worship our son or anything!
We just really enjoy photography, and Josiah lets us take as many pictures of him as we want.
You can see the rest of ‘em here…
For several weeks now, Steph has been going to a Tuesday night Bible study. That recently ended, but it has now been replaced with another Tuesday night meeting, so somewhere along the way, Tuesday nights have officially become “Guy’s Time” at the Riesland house.
From the minute I walk through the door on Tuesday afternoon, my [...]
Our friends with children will understand our latest bump in the road as parents: baby food is expensive.
Right now, the cost to feed Josiah is around 50% of what it costs to feed Steph and I combined. Now, in fairness, the kid might have an over-eating disorder is an eating machine, but he doesn’t eat [...]
Well, even though it lasted almost 2 weeks, our vacation has come and gone, and as expected, it flew by!
You can rest assured than an over-abundance of pictures will be posted over the next couple of weeks, but for today, here are a few tidbits from the past week in no particular order…
Vacation with a [...]
Come on y’all.
Let’s have some fun…
We first noticed him doing this the day before we took this video.
Now it’s a few days later and he still says ‘Ada da da’ whenever you ask him to say ‘momma’.
I should probably feel kind of bad, but, well, let’s be honest: my kid is freakin’ awesome!
Josiah could have starred in this commercial:
For all the dads: check out this short (5-minute) video that my friend Eric pointed me to.
I really believe that the most important problem in our country, and even in the Christian church, is men not behaving like real men. It seems like most men live with this misconception that their career, ‘ministry’, and bank [...]
Last week, we had to take Josiah for his second round of vaccinations.
This is quite a joyless process.
Yes, in a big picture sense, vaccinations are a huge blessing, and we are grateful to live in a country where we can get our son the health care he needs
But the process is no fun…
