With every week — and sometimes every day — offering new experiences in the parental role, one unexpected encounter came when I went in to have my blood taken earlier this week on Monday. The unimportant detail to this story is it was a routine check-up on the levels of […]

We Recommend: Sixpence None The Richer, “Divine Discontent”
As the August 7th release date for Sixpence None The Richer‘s long-delayed brand new album Lost In Transition is upon us, it’s got me thinking over the band’s history of music making. A decade ago, in 2002, Sixpence released their last non-seasonal full-length studio album, entitled Divine Discontent. Don’t let the bleak title fool […]
“Boy Story” by John DiBiase
Twenty one (and almost a half) months! While it’s been a few months since my last blog, these weeks in between posts have been anything but dull. Watching Will develop has been quite the site, as he’s a walking, running, toddling babbler. He doesn’t really speak much yet, although he’s […]
We Recommend: Sarah Kelly, “Where The Past Meets Today”
I used to love making my own mixtapes and CD’s over the years, but with the wonder of iTunes, iPods and iPhones, having your own personal, practically perfect, radio station has become much more of a reality. You can have your favorite songs in one location and merely hit “shuffle” […]
We Recommend: Plumb, “Blink”
I’ll never forget listening to Plumb‘s lullaby album Blink for the first time. For me, it’d be almost three years before I even knew what parenthood looked like from that perspective, but I remember letting the beautiful harmonies and Tiffany’s soft vocals wash over me as I sat in an easy chair listening […]
We Recommend: Leeland, “The Great Awakening”
Ever since I was in my mid-teens, I’ve experienced the unique phenomenon where a band — or in this case, an album — doesn’t really strike a chord with me until I have experienced it live. Bands like Code of Ethics, Bride, Sixpence None the Richer, John Reuben, and more […]
“Music To Fall Asleep To” by John DiBiase
Today, via JFH’s Twitter account, I had the sudden urge to quiz those monitoring their Twitter feeds about what music they enjoy falling asleep to. When I was younger, I used to always lie in bed with my CD player (Yep.. this was pre-iPod days!), and fall asleep to whatever […]
We Recommend: Kari Jobe, “Where I Find You”
For the few who do not know, I’m more picky about worship music than I’d like to be. It makes it difficult for me to find music to worship the Lord to. So even if I only find a few songs on a record I really like, it’s a big […]
“Happy Valentine’s D–HEY! Come Back Here!” by John DiBiase
So it’s been a couple months of adjusting to life with a growing, fully mobile little boy running around. Will is now 16 and a half months, and this two-legged freedom he’s now experiencing has brought new joys AND challenges our way. I’m definitely enjoying having a walking toddler around […]
“Look Who’s Walking Now” by John DiBiase
Just in time for Christmas, Amy and I got our wish when Will took his first couple daring steps on his own. For weeks leading up to this momentous event, he had enjoyed being lead around by the hands or shimmying himself along counter tops and other edges while standing. […]
