What I Love Most About My Valentines

ANGEL
  • He loves making me laugh, and he does everyday.
  • When he comes home, without fail, he bursts through the door and goes right for Sonja, tickling her, throwing her in the air, and rolling around with her, making her laugh like only he can.
  • His FRIENDS are his FAMILY.
  • He LOVES hip-hop, but he doesn’t just absent-mindedly bob his head to the beat (like I do). He has to understand and appreciate the message, and then he marvels at how the words are put together.
  • He is a great dancer. He puts me to shame on the dance floor, but at least he twirls me around so it looks like I know what I'm doing. It was definitely his sweet moves that made me fall head over heels.
  • Me encanta cuando él habla español. Es tan caliente!
  • He adores my family and my friends, and they adore him.
  • He has infinite patience, which balances out my frequent lack-there-of.
  • He is an incredible father. I know Sonja will grow to be a strong, confident woman because of his example.
SONJA
  • Her gorgeous, big, curious brown eyes.
  • She looks like her handsome daddy.
  • She amazes us everyday as she learns and grows.
  • She loves music! Her current favorites are: Psycho Killer, or as she calls it, Fah, Fah, Fah – Talking Heads, Blister in the Sun – Violent Femmes, Wild, Wild Life – Talking Heads, Umberella – Rhianna, and Clumsy – Fergie.
  • After I read her a bedtime story, she has to have her turn to read it back to you. She looks at the pictures and gives you her version of the story.
  • She is just like her mommy! In the morning, she kicks and screams and just refuses to get up, she sticks out her pinky, and she kneads like a kitten with her toes when she is trying to get comfortable.
  • She makes my dad smile and his face light up like I’ve never seen before.
  • I miss her, even before she’s left my sight.
  • When she’s hurt or sick or sad, it’s me she calls for and my embrace that calms her. I can tell you that there is no greater feeling.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
