Tonight marks the return of Friday nights (and saturdays) to my little girl. If you have been paying attention to the happenings of Anthem of Hope, you have probably wondered how much time I got to spend with Liv. Well…this month has been very busy getting http://anthemofhope.com off the ground, but it was just a season. Weekends are back to you my little girl :)

We went to the beach tonight (her request) then out for pizza (again, her request) and finished with a date to the Lighthouse for some italian ice. A bath and an episode of Word World and she is off to bed.

I caught a shot of her doing the ABCs. She can do it on her own…but wasn’t playing nicely for the camera tonight:

And, I’d like to challenge all my fellow dads…we can so easily get wrapped up in work, or hobbies, or especially something that we thing is a great cause. But these super busy seasons, are supposed to be just that…seasons. They should be the exception, not the rule. I know that often in my life, I could have done a better job of making Misty a priority over work or church work. The last couple years were not this way…but there were certainly times that were. I do regret that. Work will always be there…family won’t.

Anyway, enjoy the weather. It’s getting nice in NJ :)
