6. He's generous. (Recently, when Dion went out to eat the husband of his waitress brought in her two little boys because "they missed their mom." Dion felt bad that she had to work and be away from her boys so he left her a tip for twice the amount of the check! I wish I was more like him in this regard - what you send out returns to you again.)

RANDY
1. He loves singing and listening to all kinds of music. (He made up a song to the tune of Beethoven's "Fur Elise." It goes like this, "B-Y, B-Y, B-Y, B-Y-U, B-Y-U, B-Y-U.")
2. He enjoys being outdoors.
3. He is so cuddly and sweet when I tuck him in at night.

6. He has spiky hair.
7. He's innovative and adventurous.
8. He has soft, super kissable cheeks that I can't resist.
9. He's tough. His time in the NICU makes the routine bumps and bruises seem like nothing.

Oh, YAY!!! So many blessings.
I love your list. You have some great Valentines! I can't believe what Dion did for that waitress! How sweet.
Isn't it fun to actually sit down and list out reasons we love - whomever it is? For Christmas I gave Jeremy a jar of rolled strips of cardstock on which I had typed 52 "of the reasons I love my husband". He decided to open one every Sunday, later in the day. He never misses a week! It's fun.
Thanks for posting this. More importantly, thanks for being an observant, encouraging, caring, and dedicated wife and mother; you make the world a better place.
