Thanks to some quick research on
the Internet, we pulled down the older smaller bike and started practicing
yesterday. An hour one day and about 15 minutes the next with my holding his
shoulders a little bit, and we were successful! Here are some great pictures
of our brand new bike rider. I’m so proud of him!

I could go on and on, but we have to load up and head over to his Oma’s house.
All the ladies are over there (including his mom) and he wants to surprise
them.

Way to go, Keith! You are my hero.

Some enterprising folks at my company set up a little underground radio station that streams music across the company network.  On Fridays, they have live DJs throughout the day.  This morning, they had me fill in for one of the other ones.  It looks like I’ll get to keep spending an hour doing so going forward.

My show is primarily Texas/Americana music.  I throw in a little old-school Country and some extra goodies like Jimmy Buffet and my good Friend D.G who’s big up in Lubbock.  I’m really excited.  I’ll keep you posted on how things go.

Peace

I’m not sure why, but the kid really enjoys it. On kind of a whim, I thought we should put him in a little league. It’s themed of the Shrek III movie coming out this spring. So, after 16 weeks, members of the “league” get a bowling ball with characters from the movie on it. That’s the thing I think he’s most excited about.

The league itself is pretty fun. Most of the teams are a parent and a child. Tiff and I are able to switch out, so some weekends I go and some she goes. There are a couple of kid only teams – two siblings or two friends. All in all, there are only about 8 to 10 groups. The league meets on Sunday afternoons.

Here is a shot I snapped of him about to bowl today.
