Although it was hard to let Michael steal away the first of my sisters, I\u2019m pretty glad he has done so now. His corny sense of humor works perfectly with Rhoda\u2019s personality which is naturally a bit more serious, and he’s passed his humor on to his kids too. He is the best at dressing up, as is shown in the picture above, his meat smoking skills are fantastic, and his energy amazes me. <\/span><\/p>\n

He is not only funny, but also generous and thoughtful, and will work himself to the bone to serve his family and other people. Even though his schedule is crazy, he takes time to build impressive Lego creations with his boys, his daughter adores him, and he takes excellent care of Rhoda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
