Big week for sure. Early mornings & late evenings at work and no training what so ever. That's not really the way I want it, but it's quite often the case and a must, when you get engaged in a new assignment or project. Initial investment to get up in speed. I've been here before many times, so no worries!

No time really for my own activities with 2 toddlers & 2 teenagers in the house. Elvira & Oliver need lots of support for their school & spare time activities at the moment. They are doing fine all in all, so I should be pleased, considering that I'm not always acting according to the standard role model of a father. Good or bad, who can judge? I see many examples of so called perfect parents that are forcing boring expectations up on their kids and then they are shocked when the kids are rebelling against them and the pressure they are under. The parents often blaim it on the school & the society in general, when they themselves are the ones that need to change mindsets & behaviours.

The best role model for fathers (that I've ever met) is here visiting us right now. My friend Rosemburg from Brazil. His 2 kids are super nice, full of love, very ambitious and positive in general. It hasn't happened by chance that they turned out that way. They've been fortunate to choose very nice parents, that have fantastic life values. Rosemburg have the same influence on my kids, so it's a big big pleasure to see & feel that when he's here.

Tomorrow morning, he's off to Moscow for 3 months work. Interesting contrast for a Brazilian in the midst of the Russian winter. Enjoy it brother Burg! Lucky we bought some warm jacket and stuff for you tonight.
