Dear Jocelyn

Dear Jocelyn,

I wanted you to know how wonderful your father is and how lucky we are that he is the man in our lives. On Friday night, while I was calling him to complain about the rental truck company's customer service, he was sitting in traffic (not complaining) driving home to Manchester with a bouquet of red roses from my favorite florist and a bottle of my favorite champagne. He was showing me, in the many different ways that he often does, that he loves and appreciates me. He is a romantic, that father of yours. He could not be more excited about the prospect of being a father to his little "peanut", which he nicknamed you months ago. And this blog was entirely his idea and creation.

I envision our life with your father to be full of love and pleasant surprises, such as Friday night. And one of my strongest desires is to create a home that is warm, loving and inviting to family, friends and most importantly, to you and your father.
