Father Tony

Summer is here and I couldn't be happier. Not just because the end of the school year is here. Not just because I'm off from work til the end of August. More so because I get to spend my vacation with my little buddy, Isaiah. Just finished my first week taking care of the boy and I'm having a blast. He's so much fun right now. The boy just starting sitting up on his own this past week and his recognition of Mommy and Daddy is to die for. This is not to say I don't miss Annie being here with us and believe me, I am glad to see her walk through the door. Isaiah shows his delight as well with his killer smile.

My first Father's day was exactly the way I wanted it...relaxing, chill, and low key. Started off the morning with church. Had lunch at the Yard House. Took a nap with my boy. Finished off the night with a BBQ at the 'rents house. I really owe this love for fatherhood to my dad. His love and support through the years is all I know of dads. It's his time and energy, the sacrifices, and the support that's helped shape me to be the dad I am today. The careful notes I took have paid off well.

With that said, I'm already dreading the end of August when I return back to work. It will certainly be a day filled with tears. Ok, I'm off, the boy has awakened from his nap and he's hungry hungry.
