I’m very lucky to be the dad of these two wonderful kids. They make me so happy to be a dad.
Eva is such a creative spirit. This past year she has learned how to sew, she’s creating things with Pop Tabs and doing so many creative things. She’s also become so much more confident in herself and she is crushing it in her Jr. Krav Maga classes. I cannot believe that next year is her last year of grade school. We can always chat about things together.
Andy has been becoming much more independent. He loves to cook and express himself through his creations. Andy is also very skilled with computers. He loves creating things in Minecraft and Bloxels. He is also helpful to his friends and fellow classmates. Andy continues to improve in his karate skills. We are working more on talking together. Andy also loves to create with clay. He’s learned all sorts of things through Outschool and he’s even teaching his friends.
I’m very fortunate to have these kids in my life. It was a nice Father’s Day and the kids and Allison were very thoughtful to me. Nice cards and a great dinner to enjoy together.
Today was one of those days that comes up once in a while when you work weekend overnights. We had a bunch of events happening today.
First up was the Dads Hitting Pads karate class at America’s Best Defense. At this event I was able to train with Andy. It was a lot of fun. There were a bunch of other dads there. It was great seeing other dads and their kids having such a fun time there. Master Garcia taught the class and he told us that his father never saw him doing karate until he got his black belt. I’m so glad that America’s Best Defense includes the family so much in everything they do.
After the karate class Andy and I went over to Dance Productions to see Eva’s recital. Last year was Eva’s 10th year but they did not have a recital so this year she was recognized for her 10 years at the studio. Her routine was to a song called Lost from The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. She took a class in theatrical dance this year and said that this was her favorite routine ever. My parents came up to watch as well.
After the recital we came home for a cookout and to celebrate Father’s Day with Grandfather. I picked up some burgers from Chartley Country Store. It was a delicious meal and a nice time spent with family. I had to cut out early, though so I could get a little sleep before another night of work. I lost sleep today but it was worth it to have a nice family day.
