Wow, in 15 minutes it will be the month of September. That means it's been almost 2 months since I have posted anything on here. I feel pretty bad about that. I started this and meant to keep it up at least being able to post weekly. Let me tell you folks that don't have children something about time. Once your child enters this world "your time" or "free time", it no longer exists. Now please do not think of this as a negative thing, I love being with my son. I just have started to realize how I never was very disciplined with how I used my time before he was born. Now that I have less of it, I have had no idea how to use the free moments. My goal is to get back in the habit of writing here at least once a week again.
That being said, things are changing around here. Elliott is now 3 months old! Yes I am biased but this kid is really cute. The emotions that come with being a parent are so complex and intense it can be hard to describe. I guess that the best way that I can put it is that I feel complete when I am with my son. Before Elliott was born my co-worker Annette told me that you don't know what true love is until you have a child. I have thought about this and I really believe it to be true. I think Summer would agree with me on this. With a partner you make a choice to love that person based on certain qualities both positive and negative. And in this respect I am a very lucky man, because I am definitely not perfect. The thing about a baby is that you love that child without knowing anything about them. It is truly unconditional love when you have a child of your own. Watching him grow and develop before your eyes is amazing. I cannot believe I get to experience this. On my last day of work for the week I cannot wait to get home and spend time with my son. I don't think there is anything more special than that I could experience in my life at this point.
