“Parenthood...It's about guiding the next generation, and forgiving the last.”
After baseball all day yesterday, all I wanted to do today was take it easy. We went out to breakfast and then came home just to chill out and have a normal Sunday. Marisa and the kids went to the pool and I stayed in the AC (it's 95 today) to watch baseball and do laundry and mow the lawns. This week, it was time for haircuts for the boys. When we moved, I got a much larger workbench for my tools. Part of the area I sent up with a mirror so I can shave my head in the garage without getting hair all over the bathroom. Additionally, during the summer, when the boys have their short haircuts, I give them their cuts in the garage now. We've started calling it Dad's Barbershop. Here are a couple of pictures from Tanner's latest haircut. They really like the part where instead of brushing the hair of their necks, I just blow them off with the leaf blower.
Later that night was Marisa's girls movie night out so the kids then went to Dad's Pizza Place on the patio where we had frozen pizza for dinner. We then got up the next day and spent all day together at the baseball fields watching baseball, which was awesome. Life is really great right now. We love the new house. All of the kids will be in the same school next year for a precious few years. The boys are starting to really get into the sports they love. Faith has really started to bloom, developing her own persona and really starting to be her own little person. We keep trying to get her interested and doing something, but everything we suggest she says, "Yes, that would be fun, but I don't want to do that". We'll keep trying, but until we figure it out, she's perfectly content to march to her own drumbeat.
So Father's Day weekend was a major success. I know that Marisa and the kids want it to be a bigger deal, want plans and goals and ideas. The truth is, I love my life each and every day, why would I want to do anything different?
