Bring the camera when you are with family
Only bring out 1 lens each day.
Use lighter lenses
Only edit pictures intended for prints 8x10 or bigger.

JPEG sidecar imports into Lightroom faster.
In Lightroom, select all and use auto settings on everything and export. Use that for socials.
Keep the A1 over the A7RIV. A1 is more capable.
Don't bother with the X100VI (521g), its 35/2.8 equivalent.. the FE 35mm F2.8 ZA is only 120g. In the end your camera bag will be the same size anyway.
Fujifilm X-T5 (557g)
XF16-55/2.8 R LM WR II (410g) = 24-82mm f/4 equivalent.
Total 967g
A7CR (515g) or A1 (737g)
24-50/2.8G (440g) = 75/f4 equiv in apsc mode.
Total 955g
APSC is not necessarily lighter than equivalent FF.
IMO just use the A1. You can save the 200g elsewhere. For example my 20k mah powerbank was ~550g. A smaller 5k one can be just 90g. the 200g gives you a much better viewfinder, ergonomics and higher fps
Don't bother with film simulations in-camera. In Lightroom paste a film simulation preset onto all your raw images and export... its kinda the same thing.
Loxia 25/35/50/85 can be sold. Kids move too fast to manual focus.
Keep the other lenses.
Try to use the 20-70 more. Its way lighter.
You want the 20G/35GM primes in low light.
I am not sure about the 50GM, I prefer to use 35mm over 50 but not everyone is the same.
