No kidding. This is the man who works full time, comes home and cooks supper, does the work around the house, plays with two princesses-soon-turned-fashionistas (or so they claimed), day in and day out for the last 13 years since we came to Canada. Back home in Taiwan, he is the prince, never goes near the kitchen, but because we started family here, he has totally changed. Oh, never mind me here, I’m still working very hard on the change part.
So how does he spoil us? Let’s start with me, the old lady in this house. When there were just two of us, he would plan trips at least twice a year, we have travelled from East Coast to West Coast, from Canada, US to Europe and Asia. When I first got pregnant, he insisted we had cleaning lady on regular basis not only to help out with chores but also to give me some breaks, then I got pregnant again (too much rest) until now, I’m still not 100% back on those chores.
When I was downsized and I told him, I want a more professional-looking picture to put on my social networking sites to build my personal brand, he took this photo;
and when I told him I want to participate in Dove Print Campaign casting by Jigsaw Casting, he took this one.
I am always beautiful in his eyes.
He is next to none when it comes to the girls, always makes them feel loved and cherished. It used to hurt a little (o.k. I’ll admit, a lot) hearing the girls fought tirelessly whose turn is it to have Daddy’s attentions, or for the most recent examples, who gets to sit with Daddy on those exciting rides; but now I just lay back and enjoy watching the amazing bonds between them, thinking to myself — “I must have done something extra ordinary and burnt some expensive well made incenses in my previous life to deserve such a wonderful life partner.” 
Having spent more half of our lives together (we’d known each other since we were 20), he once joked that he only wanted to live until he is 65 years old because there is too much work, and I almost had a heart attack! Well, because after all, I still need to eat when I am older than 65, so don’t think I’ll let him off the hook that easily.
Gifts giving is not a big thing in our family, we celebrate birthdays and holidays by creating memories, either vacations, some family tradition routines or even new experience we try together. Somehow, I think he is destined to be here in Canada since his birthday falls around Father’s day, otherwise it would have been in August in Taiwan, then we can’t really say Happy Birthday on Father’s Day, Daddy !
(p.s. : more pictures will follow when we have our cake tradition on Sunday and a trip to Ottawa / Montreal soon)
