A gloomy Monday, yet the weekend sparkled beginning early Friday as we got to spend time with so many loved ones, catching up with someone, sharing Zyan with others and then doing some family of 3 time and ended the weekend by having Zyan spend time with his cousins at Balboa Village. It is times like these that create the lasting memories we will look back at fondly, and to think, it just came from simply yes to the opportunity rather than finding reasons not to do it.
With the recent onslaught of blessed work, it has also limited my time during the week to do the things I truly enjoy which of course involve my wife and son. I look forward to the unstructured time I get with him from the morning till his bedtime. I also get to experience things I haven’t done before (like Balboa, or Yorba Linda Regional Park or the Santa Ana Zoo.) Every new thing for him also becomes something new for us, allowing us to build new routines that encourage his curiosity and giddy laughter
As the days fly, I am constantly striving to be present in Zyan’s life. I don’t just want to be a weekend dad all the time. I also get that until I get to have my systems down, this will be my new reality. That knowledge is pushing me this month to really take a hard look at what the gaps are for me at work, and at home, and then work on finding fixes so we can have more perfect weekends like we just did. I am addicted to the collective smiles, conversations, and laughter we shared, and I am determined to make that my routine!
