Even More Fun at the Park


Ian got quite a workout tonight. Thomas has him practicing longer kicks. Interestingly, Thomas appeared to remain in one spot for much of the time. What is that about?!
Okay, okay, he DID move! Way to go, Tom! Score! (I'm only kidding with you) Notice his hands in his pockets....it was really cold!

It was much harder to get a decent picture of either of our soccer players. Ian really was cute with the hood. (must always have the hood on...he blended in well with the teenage skateboarders at McDonald's.)
I was really hoping these "aww" pictures would have turned out slightly better, but the main idea is there. Here is a father, his two boys and a lightpole.

I think we always wonder what kind of parents we'll be. Thomas is a terrific father. He's busy, he's tired, but he makes time for the park. He makes time for crazy clunk games with Ian. He reads the only three books that Connor is interested in with him. He lets the boys know how much he loves him, whether it is fun, happy love or the love you have to learn from. He is consistent. He is silly. He gets frustrated like any parent does. He needs to know that I think he is one cool daddy-o. (hmm, where have I seen that phrase before??)

These boys are so fortunate. I am fortunate too.

Ok, I think you could photoshop out the light pole. It's a great picture otherwise.
