Both parents are big sports fans; they like watching and going to games. Dad likes to golf and Mom enjoys tennis and volunteering. They are very community oriented. Mom mostly works out of the house, typically 9-5. She does have some flexibility on some days, but on other days it is extremely important that she is on time. Dad’s hours are early and can vary some, 4:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. or later. The parents would say the best thing about parenting is getting to know this new little person and seeing him get to know them too. Every day they are just more aware and playful. The best is coming home and seeing their faces light up!
