Happy 2nd Birthday...

Happy 2nd Birthday to our little sweet P.

Amazing...

I (Paul) haven't written on the blog for a while I guess I am preempting Valentines day a little but I wanted to dedicate a post to my lovely, adorable Anna. I titled this post amazing because that's what she is - the past little while hasn't been too easy for us, especially for Anna. I know that miscarriage is common and something that a lot of people, sadly, experience - Anna has been through it 4 times. Each time it is devastating and, unfortunately it doesn't get any easier to deal with. I know that we are so lucky to have our cute little Poppy (FYI the above picture is old - Poppy is now binky free- I wanted to post it because I love this picture of my girls) and are so blessed in many aspects of our life. I also know that I am so lucky to have Anna, she is my best friend and the sweetest person you could ever meet. I've been thinking a lot recently about how she does it, how she keeps on going when I know she is hurting so much, and I figure that is why she's so amazing because I have no idea how she does. You'll forgive me for not being especially eloquent and for the random nature of this post. I love my Anna so much and wanted everyone to know just how how much. She is the most beautiful person I have ever met. I literally love everything about her.

I was listening to a song on the way to work - I don't know who sings it originally , it was on Glee - cheesy I know - but the words are so cute and really sum up what I am struggling to say in this post. So here you go:

Oooh Her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shining.
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She’s so beautiful and I tell her everyday.

Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she don’t see what I see
But every time she asks me “Do I look okay?” I say.

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it’s so sexy
She’s so beautiful and I tell her everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know I’d never ask you to change
If perfects what you’re searching for then just stay the same
So don’t even bother asking if you look okay you know I’ll say

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are
