Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of our oldest daughter, Briyana. She was born on February 6, 2000 but we planned her party closer to Valentine’s Day because it carried that theme. This morning, my husband got home from work and said, “I almost brought you something for Valentine’s Day but I figured y’all had enough junk yesterday.” We aren’t big on gifts and such, so we laughed and I didn’t think anything else about it. That is, until he walked through the door later in the evening with several big gift bags full of goodies for all the ladies.
His reason is what touched me the most… He said he wants his girls to grow up expecting thoughtfulness on holidays like today because when they get older, any man that wants to date them is going to have some big shoes to fill as they compare him to their daddy. That was awesome :) Exactly why I love this man!!! Here are a few photos of all of us… you’ll just have to excuse Zoe. I cannot keep clothes on this child LOL

Barry still amazes me regarding how much he loves his children. That is one of the most thoughtful, loving acts of kindness I have ever heard. He continually tops himself. What a wonderful man you have and what a fantastic father! I love you Barry. I am so glad you married my daughter! Luv, Ms Jo
That’s wonderful…teaching your girls how a man should treat them and teaching your son how to treat the ladies in his life. =)
Your family is beautiful! Your little one reminds me of mine, especially in the pic w/her hands on her hips! That is such a sweet surprise!
That is just so sweet and thoughtful!!! Awesome Dad!
That is so sweet. You do have the BEST man!
He has his faults/flaws but despite them, I think he’s pretty perfect :)
