Our Papa ~ Ivan Vincent

This post is written as an appreciation from me to my husband, Ivan, and also papa to both my daughters. Though Father's Day is long to come, I like to record this to let both my daughters know their papa's love to them.

My darling has been a good papa to Annabelle since the day I conceived. For the past one year even before Abigail was conceived, Papa has been playing an important role in helping me in taking care of Annabelle. When Abigail is still in my womb, that was a time where Annabelle is so attached to me for attention; Ivan has been there for me in spending time with her from running freely outside the porch, washing fish tank together, "temaning" her in the playland, wrestling with her and many more. During my confinement, he took over my job of bathing and dressing Annabelle up. He did great!

Since the birth of Abigail, papa's role becoming more important, he has make a BIG decision in temporarily stop serving/teaching the catechism classes on Sunday morning. This is so that he can give me a helping hand on Sunday after church when I am alone in the house.
Papa making sure that he spend most of his time with his daughter, even when he is laying down resting on the weekend; he will help to oversee Abigail. Abigail like to be talk to, she will look into the papa's eye and give the sweetest smile and will also look into his eye and give the most pitiful look so that papa will carry her. On the other hand, Annabelle will treat the papa's stomach as a "slide" she will climb on it and slide down and laugh. He has become a playmate to Annabelle.

I thank God for giving Ivan to me and to this family. Ivan has been very supportive in building this family. I just like to say: "Papa, thank you so much. We love you! Muaks!!!"
