Happy 2nd Birthday Jonathan!


Time flies... so they say. I guess in a way it's true. Jonathan was born in 2013, a whole 2 years ago tomorrow. We were living in a little apartment in downtown Calgary, I still remember I fitted the winter tires well in advance anticipating Jonathan's arrival. My dear wife worked till the very last week, only then we had some quality time during which we explored a few cafes here and there. All those memories.. well, I suppose, did feel like just yesterday.

Fast forward 2 years, we're living in suburban Melbourne, 20 something kms from the city centre. Jonathan's little sister just turned 5 months, wife is going back to work soon from mat leave, I'm working part time, for the kid's sake. 

Am I enjoying Fatherhood? Is it politically and morally incorrect to say no? This is the ultimate dilemma, of course I love my kids, yet I really do enjoy some private time doing my own stuff too. Besides.. parenting is hard work.

Deep down I love them to bits, no questions about that. 

Happy Birthday Jonathan. Can't really believe you're turning 2 already!
