Active Parent

There's no time to be an active person if you're trying to be an active parent.  For instance, in the last 48 hours, Meggan and I have:

- taken the kids to the movies
- taken Everett to his basketball practice and game
- helped Amelia memorize the capitals, shapes, and abbreviations for the United States
- found guitar lessons for Everett
- arranged two sleepovers for Amelia
- arranged a birthday party for Everett's 8th birthday
- worked with Amelia on finding the area of various shapes for math
- signed up both kids for soccer
- signed up as a head coach for soccer
- shot baskets in the driveway

Sure, it's a lot of time.  But, when you see things like Ev dribbling down the court with his way-too-big jersey tucked into his way-too-high shorts to score a basket, it's all worth it...
