Daddy-O

Daddy-O is the nickname I gave Ryan shortly after we gave birth

to Giulietta, and it just stuck. You see, this man is not any ordinary

daddy; he is Daddy-O! You can see from the picture above that

he has a special twinkle in his eyes, when he holds his precious

little girls, that permeates the love that he has for them.

Passionate, Patient, and Perfectionist are some of Ryan's finest

characteristics.  Not to mention, the fact that he is the primary provider for

all us girls, and allows us to live comfortably. He takes pride in our family,

 and offers all his time, energy, and love to the girls and I. 

I call him my Michelangelo, because he is constantly working

on a project, which never seems to be perfect enough for him. He

is perpetually teaching himself new skills in order to make our house

a home, or fixing the things that my clumsy self is accidentally breaking. 

He has an incessant love for cars, particularly VW's, and an

endless amount of knowledge to go along with it. He sees the good

in all things, especially people. And, he is one of the only fathers that I know, 

besides my own, who undoubtedly enjoys every moment with his children and 

is never too busy to answer their questions, get down on the floor and play

with them, or let on that something might not be quite right.

Us girls are the luckiest in the world to have our Daddy-O, and we

don't plan on trading him anytime soon!
