father/daughter
here’s me and me little sweetie…she’s almost 4 weeks and doing quite well. mama was 1-on-3 for the first time today, and she did well, although missed her usual nap, so turned in a little early. so it’s me and my little girl, with regular appearances from her big sister, who apparently has an ear [...]
| cousins
here’s all the cousins on daddy’s side of the family along with Grandma and PopPop. we’re all very much looking forward to growing up together. thanks to all for visiting and taking care of us this past month!
| 2 large books
I got 2 large books for my birthday. one is a new study Bible…the rather large and impressive new ESV study Bible, to be precise. I’m looking forward to getting into it, and it’s provided a handy excuse to read through stuff with the kids (not that we need an “excuse” but with little kids [...]
| it’s my birthday, and I’m giving the gifts

to celebrate, I’m giving away the album I’ve been working on for a while now. you can check it out here. (or click over there on the right)
you can download or listen online, or if [...]
| family holiday update
Selah is just over 2 weeks old now, and she’s doing quite well. her first Christmas has come and gone, and she seemed to enjoy herself. she seems like a pretty mellow baby, at least as we compare her to Caleb (very laid back) and Alice (a little “fiesty”). she doesn’t cry a whole lot [...]

On thanksgiving day I received my first gift for this new baby from my good friend Sara. She handknit this baby blanket, its simply beautiful. I love making gifts for people and realize how much I love receiving handmade gifts too! I know the love, thoughtfulness and time that goes into making them. Thanks Sara!

| They crack me up
Overheard this morning at breakfast and it just cracked me up:
C: “Alice, when you be a mama then you will like gluten free too.”
A: “Yeah!” “And take showers too!”
C: “Yeah, and sometimes daddys take showers.”
A: “Yeah and grandmas and pop-pops take showers too.”
Well they’ve got it all figured out don’t they? I couldn’t bring myself [...]
| Princess Cake
Alice will be 3 in a couple of weeks but we had a princess party for her 2 weekends ago just in case this baby comes early! We had all the little girls dress up as princesses and had a blast doing girly girly things. A good friend came and painted the girls nails and gave [...]
| Girl or Boy?
I received this awesome moses basket as a gift from my good friend when Alice was born. We absolutely loved using it with Alice and of course will use it with this baby too. I made a bumper for it yesterday and some sheets for it today. So we’ve got the boy version and the girl [...]
| The Room is Done!
Our mostly guest room, somewhat baby room is finished! (minus a door being hung) I’m so glad to have checked this huge project off of the list. Bob worked his tail off painting and hanging that nice ceiling fan. He crawled in the super tiny crawl space under the room and the small [...]

I aint on the good list
here’s a santa-inspired song. I was up in the middle of the night with a head cold, and somehow the first line came to mind and stayed there until I got this down:
I aint on the good list - by Bob Wiegers - 12/1/2008 - tune: the usual campfire kinda thing
I aint on the good [...]

| another Christmas song
it so happens that my Shepherd’s Song is one of my favorites, and I’m pretty excited about doing it in church this Advent season. I wasnt really planning on writing another Christmas song, but we read the Christmas story with the kids last night. also, Michelle is 8 months preggo, so I was joking about [...]
| Chris Thile and Edgar Meyer show
Had a good time at the Thile/Meyer show last night in Nashville. They played a bunch of stuff from the new record, some Bach, a strange quasi-improvisation, as well as some other stuff like a track off Not All Who Wander…, the Smoothie Song (which got the best in-song crowd reaction), and a track from [...]
| still the same
here’s a song brought on by a running conversation Michelle and I have had over the years, and some of the stuff I’ve been thinking about due to that. most lyrics written with Joe Pug’s “Hymn 101“ (great, great song) in my head, although the first line is completely coincidental (I thought of that last week, before I [...]
