And the eyes have it ...

I've always been a sucker for a gal with beautiful eyes ... and I think Ms. H knows it ... She can play my heart strings like a fiddle ...

Her eyes dance when she's up to something ... they sparkle with anger when she's outraged ... they will wrench your heart when they fill with tears ... and they are filled with mischieviousness most of the time ...

There are moments when she would cause even Gandhi himself to consider abandoning the idea of non-violence ... but then that's just part of being a nine year old girl with that wonderful 21st Century Girl gene coursing through her ...

I sometimes want to clobber her and hug her at the same time ...

She's smart. She's beautiful. She's witty. She lives to tease and bug (don't know where THAT comes from?) She's sarcastic. And she is incredibly thoughtful ...

She can be incredibly selfish and incredibly selfless ... sometimes in the same breath ...

But to see her smile, will lay aside all the aggravations and the frustrations she has wrought in the blink of a greeny-gold eye ... and what lovely eyes she has ...


World beware !! ... You've been warned!!
Ms. H is coming ...
Don't say I didn't tell you !!
She's gonna be one to break your heart AND kick your ass ...
and that's why I love her !!
You Go Girl !!

It's good to be a dad ... It's good to have three great kids ...

She's beautiful Rev. You are a very fortunate man to have such a daughter, and one day she will know how fortunate she is to have you as her loving and adoring dad.
