Luke and Sam's Papi

My children have got to be some of the luckiest kids in the world because they have Francisco as their Papi. Here are just a few things that we love about him.


1. Francisco is so warm and kind-hearted. He really know how to make you feel loved and special. He is always giving hugs and kisses and saying words of admiration.
2. He is playful. Oh it is so fun to watch him with his boys. They play so hard and laugh so much. It is awesome. I've never seen a dad play with his children the way Francisco does. He really connects to his children and they have fun!
3. He is funny. I love to hear his laugh and we hear it often! Francisco is always cracking jokes and making people laugh. He also finds humor wherever he goes and keeps life fun and up-beat.
4. He is the hardest worker I've ever met. I don't think there is a lazy bone in his body. He gets up before the sun and will work all day if he needs to. He goes to school all day then comes home and helps with the kids, dinner, or cleaning; whatever is needed at that time. Even weekends, he steps up and does some of the deep cleaning that I just don't have time/ don't make time to do.
5. He is caring and selfless. He makes sure that others are taken care of before himself. He is always thinking about what will make me happy and does things just because I like it that way, even though he prefers it another way. For example, he loves onions in his eggs, which I hate. Ever since he learned that, he hasn't added onions to the eggs that he makes us in the morning. So sweet.


I have a lot to learn from my husband. He is a wonderful companion and I am the lucky one that gets to spend eternity with him. Thank you for everything that you do for us. Francisco, I love you. You are amazing!

This is sweet and I get to learn a bit more about Francisco that makes him an even better brother-in-law. I also love the picture that Luke took and he will be a great photographer!
