Yup, we're finally together :) |
As I began to put my daughter to bed, I realized something: Today marks a very special day for me; Karm, my beautiful wife, Isabella, my little princess, and Brayden, my little peanut, are home at last. As you may have know, Karm and Brayden were spending the last two and a half weeks at my in-laws to make sure that she has a quick and healthy recovery from her caesarean section.
Both the Princess & the Peanut fell sleep on their mother's shoulders! |
It’s also a special day in that I’m watching Isabella bond with her little brother. It’s a sight to be seen and experienced. It’s an unconditional and absolutely pure love. I hope this relationship will continue for the rest of their lives, well into their senior years, when both have white hair and are surrounded by many grandchildren.
Finally, it’s a super special day in that I’m living my life through my daughter. Today, she debuted as a footballer with the Semiahmoo Football Club. She “shock & awed” everyone by playing a game that was above and beyond everyone else in her team. People could not believe what they were seeing; she was running end-to-end and scoring goals; she defended her net; she intercepted attacks without fouling anyone; she knew the rules of the game like she’d been playing for decades. She ended up scoring 4 goals, making 3 saves and receiving 2 hi-fives from her coach.
Surrounded by everyone as they watch this little superstar work her magic :) |
Brigit Prinz, Hanna Ljungberg, Sun Wen, Marta, Mia Hamm, Tiffeny Milbrett, Cristiane, Shannon Boxx, Renate Lingor, Kelly Smith and Katia must watch out as the 11th best female footballer is gaining on them (at least for today).
Thank you for reading,
Armin
PS: Goooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllll!
WOW! This is great Armin! I'm so happy for you, Karm, Isabella and the little Peanut. I think I like that name even better than Brayden so if it's not to late to change the birth certificate I think you should. Brayden, I mean Peanut, will thank you in a couple years especially since he lost his 5 inch Peanut! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy to see that the four of you are together at home and adjusting. I can't believe Isabella did so well with Soccer today. Does she play every Saturday? Until when, month wise? I would love to come watch on a Saturday am. I will even make the trek out to Surrey. Please let me know.
See you next Saturday night. Love you and the fam!
P.S. My Mum says hi and hopes all is well :)
