They grow up too fast, so yes, do try to take advantage of the time while you have it. Having kids makes us remember the best parts of our own childhood and forget having to be an adult for a few moments, some of the better parts of being a part, so don't miss out on them! Very cool.

I'm betting on the Sean moments ;) I always try to keep in mind that they’re little for such a painfully short time, it really helps me keep things in perspective. 10 years from now, will you remember those Sean moments or that you took extra time to fix some bug somewhere?

I worked for a year in Amsterdam while living about 1.5-2 hours travel by public transport away. I ended up giving this (otherwise great!) job, because of the same reason you describe above, missing out on my son. I ended up in a very challenging job only 10 minutes away by car or 30 by bike, which was great for a year until I realised that the challenge I thought was there was simply too big: the company didn't want to change, didn't want to make that next step to professionality. And now I've ended up with Ibuildings, whose office is over 2 hours drive away. Yet, I don't mind, because I only rarely go there, working from home for most of the time, which means I can get my son out of bed in the morning, play with him a bit before work, and as I finish work, immediately be with him again. During lunchtime, I can even put him to bed for his afternoon sleep. Now, I'm not saying you should give up your job, but I do realize a lot how important the family time can be. Beautifully written.

Little miracles happen, silently and modestly. The best thing we can do is to notice them when they do occur. Bravo! Yeah, that’s what it’s all about! Little miracles happen, silently and modestly.
