We had a long weekend with no camp, and so there was time to do some uni work, and some family catch-up time.
Saturday we were at a friend’s house for lunch, and ended up spending the day there. The kids weren’t too sad about it, as they had a chance to play some video games.
Sunday Dad took the kids to church (Mum was home on zoom church), and then out for lunch. We went across to Canley Vale for Vietnamese food, and to enjoy some sunshine together.
Monday was mostly a home day, though Dad and Puff went out to get him some new sneakers and spend some time together, before Dad disappeared back into uni work.
Tuesday morning was an early start, dropping Puff off for a school camp. We were working hard to remain in good spirits.
Then afterward we stopped for breakfast on the way home.
Dad is still looking for small windows of time to spend with the kids, even in this busy year; there are occasional moments, where the kids are looking forward to seeing Dad, that are a sign that it seems to be working in building some kind of lasting connection. Still much to learn.
