The mountains really are my happy place. Meanwhile, you know it’s vacation when the baby is roaming semi-naked through the house. #presentoverperfect

Since we were 17 we’ve lived our lives by this motto: FHP (faith, hard-work, and patience). Now look how it’s paying off. #threekings #fhp

Minding the gap between who you are and where you want to be, that’s the difference maker in any relationship.

Happy Birthday baby girl. You’ve been an exceptional addition to the tribe! #Wakefieldblackgirlmagic

I’ve spent most of my life trying to plan it. I’ve learned the hard way that it doesn’t matter how life works out, it just matters that life works. So, yeah, this is my life and I love it for all the predictably unpredictable moving parts of it.

Here’s what I’ve learned about managing chronic illness: it never happens at a convenient time. Yet, we can’t let it define us. Instead, let’s allow our struggles to refine us.

Now I know that the best thing I can offer to this world is not my force or energy, but a well-tended spirit, a wise and brave soul- Shauna Neiquist

To my brilliant daughter Riley, who first made me a father. Happy Birthday RC Cola.

I’ve had the good fortune of knowing my wife for exactly half of my life now, and yet I can’t imagine any of my life without her.

As a father raising four daughters, the best gift that I’ve given myself (and them) has been learning how to process my own emotions so that I can sit with them as they process theirs.
