The flame is flickering out...

Hey RTL!

I had another good day with my kids yesterday. I always sooo look forward to the time I have with them. It is always nice to be with them.

We didn't do anything really fantastic. Just sort of regular life, you know? I had found a stormwater storage pond with giant tadpoles in it, so we hiked there and caught a few. We hung out around the house, made lunch, watched a movie, snuggled, tickled, giggled, worked on a few crafts, talked a little, had dinner. With four kids it's hard to parcel out the attention with the right balance. But so far it's pretty good.

It is bittersweet to hear them say "awwwww" when I tell them it is time to go. I feel the same way, I don't want our time to end. But, the other part of me is pleased that they enjoy their time with me.

My youngest is really warming up to me. For a long while she was distant, angry, hurt I guess - about me not being at home with her. Since January probably. She never said as much, she's only 6. But I could tell from the way she acted. But lately she is much more snuggly, cuddly, and giggly. I'm feeling much better about her.

So... nothing really dramatic.
That's my life as a father these days.

I'll call you later, dude.
