A Decade

In honour of it being our tenth anniversary today, here are Ten Things I Love About Apa.

1 ~ He's a babe!

2 ~ He cooks me dinner. Every single night. Because he wants to. What a keeper!

3 ~ He owns literally hundreds of records, yet still knows every single album in his entire collection, & also exactly where it is filed. 

4 ~ He does what he wants & wears what he wants & doesn't care what people think of him. That's pretty sexy.

5 ~ He is an awesome Papa to Koko.

6 ~ He is the least pretentious person I know.

7 ~ He didn't like his day job so he followed his dreams & opened a record store.

8 ~ He says he is shy, but we can't go anywhere without having a bunch of people stop to chat to him on the street. 

9 ~ He would rather be outside. Always.

10 ~ He can't whistle, or roll his tongue, or click his fingers. It's kinda cute.

Apa

This man.

He is the best father.

He has incredible blue eyes with looong lashes which Kowhai has been lucky to inherit.

He HATES dressing up. He'd happily live in shorts & jandals every day of the year.

Kowhai adores him. They have so much fun together.

He loves beer, & pies, & good sausages, & steak, & mashed potatoes, & ice-cream, & chocolate...okay, he loves food. And he cooks me dinner every night. 

He says he is shy, but he knows EVERYONE, & can talk your ear off.

He doesn't have a driver's license & prefers to walk everywhere.

He loves sci-fi & action & fantasy movies.

He is a builder & a draughtsperson. He loves architecture.

He would make a silly face in every photograph if I let him.

He makes up words.

He can't spell.

He is a mean beatboxer.

He is the best person to travel with.

He is passionate & obsessive about cricket.

My nephews & nieces adore him because he can play with them for hours.

He works very hard for our little family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY APALICIOUS!

We love you XXXXXX
