While I am at work on a beautiful day my family sometimes plays hookie from school

and I am jealous but also delighted because there is such harmony between them.

Especially relieved for a papa, who some evenings is completely wiped out

a little picnic in the park does wonders for his soul

as he soaks in the benefits of being a stay-at home papa, capturing it all on film so that it was like I was there. Then these last, long days at work don’t seem so bad and I am reassured that summer is fast approaching. Happy June 1st.
