So my wife and I have entered a new stage in our parenting journey. It didn’t happen overnight, but definitely in the past year at some point we looked at our calendar and there was just… zero blank space, as far as the eye could see.

Now that the boys are into their extracurriculars (and not just dabbling, but have chosen their respective ‘things’ they’re passionate about), we’re always on the go. Between baseball, soccer, swim team, robotics, theater, etc, what used to be a lot of quiet evenings is now going from this practice to that coaching session to which field is this game at to when are we fitting in dinner here?

It’s wild, and I love that they’ve found things they love. But if I thought I barely had any free time before…? Oh, you sweet summer child.
