Welcome back to the Drive Home Podcast for July 7th, 2024! In this episode, we catch up after an unexpected break due to some health issues. Thankfully, I'm back and feeling much better. I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July holiday!

To wrap up, I reminisce about my 4th of July experiences growing up on a farm and the joy of fireworks. Stay tuned for our next episode, possibly on Thursday, as we get back on schedule. Until then, have a great and lucky week!

Lost Recordings and New Beginnings

Welcome back to the Drive Home Podcast! In this episode, we revisit some missed moments and new adventures as we delve into the nuances of fatherhood. Despite losing a previous recording, we make up for it with heartfelt reflections and updates.

We begin with a brief follow-up on last week's discussions about basketball and sports wagers, and the less-than-stellar outcomes of those bets. Then, we pivot to more meaningful topics as Father's Day approaches, sharing thoughts on the challenges and joys of being a new dad, especially at an older age.

The episode also touches on the arrival of a special guest—grandma's in town to help with the little one, providing a much-needed break and some extra hands. We reflect on the last 20 weeks since baby Isidore Lawrence was born, his recent doctor’s visit, and the overall impact of parenthood.

From the chaos of baby items taking over the apartment to the preparations for childproofing, we discuss the realities of adapting to life with a new family member. We also consider the future, including an upcoming trip to Vegas and the bittersweet feelings of leaving the family behind for a short while.

Join us for a candid, heartwarming episode that celebrates the small moments and big changes in life. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
